What do you put on your face to wipe the residue of cleanser off Annie ?

Toner is actually meant to tighten the skin that’s why it’s called toner but as you say if you have dry skin I can understand why you can’t use it .

Has it anything to do with the chap you met in an Iceland aisle ?

I use the cleanser to wipe off my make up and before I put on nivea moisturiser and then some tinted moisturiser.
To me a toner is just putting more unnecessary chemicals on my face that will interfere with my skin's natural PH.
The nice thing about calendula cleanser is that it's really gentle and has a slight moisturising action without being heavy or greasy. Or rather it does not dry the skin out. I have sensitive skin so don't want to irritate it with unnecessary products. Plus it's a waste of cotton wool.
I've had really good skin following this regime. But everyone has different skin and should follow what suits them. I just think we were conned forty or more years ago into thinking "cleanse, tone and moisturise" were the secret of perfect skin. I remember this in my Jackie magazine, but to me most of their advice was rubbish. How my dad hated me reading that teen rag. He was right.

I just wanted to show that you don’t need to use expensive creams on your skin.
I had my coat on as l was just going out to the shops! I have never seen the Iceland man since... he wasn’t my type at all!

Re: Face Creams
I’ve always used the “ cleanse, tone , nourish” advice although products have changed yes . What I used as a teenager wouldn’t suit my now mature skin .However when you look at some of the most beautiful women that were , Brigitte Bardot, Dame Diana Rigg they have aged naturally wrinkles and all despite whatever beauty products have been available to them.
