Beauty routines, like hemlines, change with the era.

Case in point: toner. Once a mainstay of skincare, we left toner behind with scrunchies and bodysuits in the early '90s. Today, Romanian skin guru Mario Badescu has us reconsidering our skin care regime. His neon yellow Special Cleansing Lotion “C” ($22.50/8 oz.) is a modern day toner and a secret weapon against breakouts. Apply with a cotton pad once a day (just like in grade nine) and welcome blemish-free skin all summer long.

Famous for his cult-status Drying Lotion, Badescu counts Charlize, Liv and Naomi among his loyal fans. 

Could this signal the return of the scrunchie? It’s only a matter of time.
