How to use
Your Post-Cleansing Ritual
In AM and PM , after cleansing apply 2-3 pumps of Sake Toning Essence to face and neck with your hands, a cotton pad, or gauze for mild exfoliation. Start with the middle portion of the face and move upward and outward, paying special attention to the T-zone or areas where excessive sebum, clogged pores, and congestion are common. Avoid tugging and rubbing. Start in the PM to allow your skin to acclimate and build up to AM use if desired.

I now have a routine and my skin is doing so much better. I have oily acne prone skin & run around with my two year old all day. After establishing my post pregnancy routine- adding this step into my routine has been easy, refreshing and has really helped with control the oil and keeps my skin shine free - that perfect balance. This toner also has an amazing scent that makes you want to put it on! Its truly amazing and you will not regret purchasing this or any Shani Darden product :)
