TEMPLESPA BE QUIET Soothing Milky Toner.
This is the latest launch from TEMPLESPA and possibly one of my favourite products EVER from them : my skin is LOVING it! The TEMPLESPA BE QUIET Soothing Milky Toner is a calming, soothing and nourishing toner essence that can be layered in your existing routine with ease.
Think a safety blanket for your skin, a layer of calm and your antidote to sore and stressed skin.
Toners and essences are quite the ‘in thing’ in skincare at the moment and there are many different types out there and it can be easy to get a bit confused. To simplify it , a toner (or essence) is something you apply after cleansing and before your skincare routine which will prep and prime the skin. There are many versions that will do lots of different things for the skin and the TEMPLESPA BE QUIET Soothing Milky Toner is ALL about adding that extra layer of soothing hydration, reducing any flare-ups or redness and calming the skin. For me, it’s like throwing a soothing cashmere blanket over the skin and it feels instantly comfortable and gorgeous. It’s a wonderful product and even though I have essences and tonics to hydrate and soothe, none of them are quite like this.
‘It’s like throwing a soothing cashmere blanket over the skin and it feels instantly comfortable and gorgeous.’
It is something that quite literally anyone and everyone can use, it adds seconds to your AM /and or PM skincare routine and your skin will see benefits instantly. This milky toner will be PARTICULARY good if your skin is dry, dehydrated, red, sensitised and just in need of a bit of love and comfort.
In short, this soothing milky toner will :
- Helps smooth, calm & even your skin tone
- Reduce redness and irritation
- Provide prebiotic support for your skin’s microbiome
TEMPLESPA BE QUIET Milky toner : Key ingredients.
Key ingredients include biomimetic squalane, fermented oats, liquorice, prebiotics, niacinamide and Alpine rose that work together to soften, soothe, hydrate and calm the skin. They also help support the skin barrier which will improve the condition of your skin long-term and prevent future flare-up’s and irritation.
It also contains antioxidant-rich botanicals of liquorice, beetroot, green mandarin and evening primrose oil combineD with prebiotic sugars to help maintain the elasticity and ‘bounce’ of your skin, replenish moisture levels and reduce redness & roughness, leaving skin feeling healthy and bright.
LIQUORICE : Calms red and irritated skin
Liquorice is an anti-irritant and anti-inflammatory that calms redness and eliminates bacteria that may cause acne. It has powerful soothing properties that will soften and re-fresh the skin. It will also target hyperpigmentation and even the skin tone by blocking melanin production and absorbing the sun’s harmful UV rays.
PREBIOTICS – Supports your microbiome for strong, healthy skin.
The protective later on our skin is our microbiome (made up off ‘good’ bacteria) and this can be easily disrupted but changes of season, stress, products we use and many more factors. When we have a unbalanced microbiome is can cause flare-up’s, sensitivity and skin reactions so it is great to use skincare containing prebiotics to keep your microbiome happy and functioning!
Prebiotics in skincare will help strengthen the skin, prevent redness and sensitivity and help maintain overall skin health.
NIACINAMIDE – Helps retain moisture, and strengthen and rebalance your skin.
Niacinamide is a clever restorative ingredient for the skin which smoothes the surface and helps reduce the appearance of enlarged pores and strengthen the skin barrier.
It has capabilities to repair damaged cells and protect healthy cells makes the skin more resilient to external damage and reduces sensitivity. Niacinamide also protects the skin from UV and blue light damage.
I knew this would be a great product for my skin at the moment and I wasn’t wrong! I am currently pregnant and my skin is ALL over the place at the moment : I have had breakouts, extreme dehydration, patchy-ness, flaking skin, sore skin and it’s just been a bit of anything and everything. The TEMPLESPA BE QUIET Soothing Milky Toner just gives instant relief and soothing, and honestly, from the first application, I knew it was a winner for me! You know when you just *know* that a product is ticking the boxes?!
I also don’t have a great deal of time at the moment to be doing crazy-long AM and PM skincare routines, I like it as quick and as fuss-free as possible so this adds just a few seconds onto my routine with no faff. It has a pump-applicator that you can dispense the product on onto cotton rounds and sweep across the face OR (what I do) is to just pump into directly into my hands and massage it onto the face. It has a very light serum-like texture, like a thicccc water so it’s easy to apply this way too. You can then apply your preferred serum and moisturiser as normal.
I’ve made a very-easy-to-follow routine below as a typical day-to-day skincare routine and how you can layer your products. I personally have a few extra steps because I am boujee but I have simplified it so it’s not too confusing or intimidating!
This is a great addition to any skincare routine. It is a layering product and if you are happy with your existing skincare routine you can just slip it in as that one extra step. It will 100% benefit every skin! If you are interesting in the TEMPLESPA range and are looking specifically for soothing and hydrating then I would suggest looking at the IN THE BEGINNING Cleanser, the BREAKFAST SMOOTHIE, the REPOSE Relaxing Night Cream and the BE STILL Moisturiser. These are some of my favourite tried and tested products.
The TEMPLESPA BE QUIET Soothing Milky Toner costs £24 for 150ml which is a really great price in comparison to a lot of these tonics and essences hitting the market at the moment! I have been using mine for nearly 3 weeks and I have barely touched the sides so it should last you a good few months. I use mine usually just in the AM but you can, of course use it both AM and PM if you wish.
