This toner is basically the only way to get away with not wearing makeup in the summer

For vain bitches (tag yourself, I’m the vain bitch) summer is the worst crossroad for beauty. On one hand, the thought of having to go anywhere with my skin in it’s natural, un-contoured state is so terrifying, it’s basically a Saw trap for me. Seriously, Jigsaw could lock me in a room with just natural night and a close-up mirror and I’d cut my own leg off. But at the same time, it’s hot. Like, reeeally hot.

Fortunately, salvations comes not in the form of a thick, matte foundation, but something entirely more useful: a Vitamin C toner designed to excel at evening out skin tone and removing any dark marks that’d be cause for coverup.

Made by the savskincare savants over at Georgette Klinger and safe for all skin types, the toner harnesses already-helpful Vitamin C concentrate along with other key ingredients like aloe and elderflower to create a potent cocktail perfect for brighter, more even skin.

The best part is that it didn’t even add another 30 minutes to my already-laden nighttime routine. Seriously, it was some swipes on a cotton pad while I scrolled through Twitter. I’m impatient as hell, so luckily things started to even out within the first few days. OK, last thing before this starts to sound dangerously like #sponcon — because unlike Khloe K and that box of Popeye’s she had on a private jet, my opinions are my own. This toner was so good, I literally hid it from a houseguest so he couldn’t use it.

Sorry, Ernest. Only I can be the beautiful one in this friendship.
