I used to be skeptical of cream cleansers too but once you try them, it's hard to go back esp if you have dry skin. They are gentler indeed. I do like hydrating or moisturizing toners as some of them contain antioxidants and other beneficial ingredients that are good for you but they are hard to come by (at least here in Italy) and usually cost more. But most toners are just basic and unless one has oily skin, they're not really necessary. But I do like the fresh feeling they give so sometimes I'd buy one anyway. If you like something and it's not too expensive, why not using it anyway, right? Denise, how nice of your grandma to get you one.

Of course, to be honest, I always had normal skin &normal skin girls can use either gel or cream/milk (or so I've read). But lately my skin was neglected (the past year) and feeling so tight and itchy so I had to try something else (and I used a cream cleanser totally by accident, my grandma bought me a Garnier one when I was staying at her place heehee) and then I really liked it, how much of a difference it made. Gel ones are more harsh indeed.. I agree about the moisturising mist's properties that you mentioned, they would be a nice extra step.. I'm suspecting toners don't do much for me either lol because I bought my first one and haven't been using it much, it has like an astringent effect on my skin that I like though, and also they do some good on my acne areas (cheeks etc.) and I find it fun to apply with the cotton pad. :) But other than that, I've never really needed one either, maybe it could be an added luxury step haha =) I think oily skins could benefit more from a toner. I know, so cold indeed!!! ^^ yes, I agree and the funny thing is I had never used one before (a cream cleanser I mean).

They are also more moisturizing and soothing than gel cleansers and a great choice for those with dry skin. As for toners, I have combination skin and don't use one. I used to but then I run out of it so I skipped it for a few days and saw no change in how my skin looked or felt. Toners do nothing for me, I'm afraid. Of course, it also depends on the toner. I do like hydrating mists. I don't think they are a necessary step in a skincare routine but they are nice nonethless as they add more moisture to the skin. :) I'm guilty fo taking long showers with very warm water too. I know it's bad but how to resist when the weather's so cold? Denise, I’m glad cream cleanser work so well for your skin.

Good points! I hate the cold wind in the winter months, I have normal to dry skin and the wind makes my skin really tight and it makes me have dry patches! (although I don't have serious dryness) Using a cream cleanser will really help, I used to use gel cleanser but now I've switched to cream/milk cleanser and it was such a relief to my skin, it really helps with softening the skin. About the toner thing, I think all skins need toner except if it's a really dry skin, although a hydrating mist would be a great choice. I'm currently on a search for a rosewater mist to soothe my skin, I really need one haha.. I'm guilty of taking a long shower and with very warm water and afterwards my skin is usually tight...! I love a long shower..! :) And I'm in need of a humidifier, my dad said he would get one for me.. I've never used one so let's see how that works. wow really helpful post! Good points!

Mine is combination and gets drier in winter and oilier in the summer. It's a pain! I'm glad your skin behaves at least in winter. I'm writing a post about oily skin, so check back soon ;) Tavia, yes, every skin type has its problems. Mine is combination and gets drier in winter and oilier in the summer. It’s a pain!
