I’ve been using the same two toners for about a year, but I was excited to try something new, says our All Ages model, Leah Alexxanderr-Caine

On every shoot, different products are applied to my face, so I have no way of tracking what’s going on to my skin. I always use toner to make sure everything is removed from my face at the end of the day – and although I’ve been using the same two toners for a year, I was excited to try something new.

The Body Shop’s Seaweed Oil-Balancing Toner (£7.50) has a refreshing smell and is created for people, like me, with oily/combination skin. It’s alcohol-free, so doesn’t remove too much of the natural oils. It’s a pretty standard toner and good for the price.

Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin Tonic (£15) has a floral, slightly citrus scent that is amazing. After removing my makeup, I like to use a toner to cool my skin down as it gets quite sensitive. This one left my skin feeling super clean and soft.

I swear by Pixi Glow Tonic (£18, libertylondon.com). It makes a difference almost overnight. The first time I used it, about five months ago, I saw an immediate change – it sweeps away all dead skin cells. It’s not too harsh and definitely makes you glow.

Fresh’s Black Tea Age-Delay Instant Infusion (£42) is moisturising, and very gentle on skin. But as the most expensive toner I tried, it was probably my least favourite – it just wasn’t as spectacular as I thought it would be. It has a luxurious smell, but Pixi’s Glow Tonic is the one I would recommend. It does everything it says on the bottle – and more.
