Ways To Use The Ordinary Glycolic Toning Solution

 The Ordinary Glycolic Toning Solution is one of the most popular exfoliating toners on TikTok and among Skin Care influencers. The reason could be because it is a multi purpose toner. This product is so versatile that it allows your skin care routine to benefit in so many ways.


The glycolic toning solution is an alpha hydroxy acid. This means it is for your skin, thereby helping to clear your pimples, but there are other way you can use it.

1. Around the neck area : if you have dark neck, or you want to brighten up that part of your body, you can apply the glycolic toner at night about three times a week to help exfoliate and brighten the place. Follow up with your moisturizer and in the morning be sure to apply your sunscreen around that place. 

2. Armpit : for the armpit, the first thing to do is to make sure you have washed that area thoroughly and let it dry. Use cotton to apply the glycolic tone solution and allow it to dry. You can apply it three times a week. You don’t need to use a sunscreen at that part during the day, be sure not to use the daily you could irritate your armpit. 

3. Under the breast :apply using cotton and be sure you have cleaned the place thoroughly prior to application. Again three times a week is enough to yield results.

4. On the thigh, You can follow the same application method for the under the breast when it comes to the thigh area. For the inner thigh, do also check for the cause of the friction, or even the darkening of the place. you can understand the glycolic toning solution to even the feet. For those who have used lightning lotions or creams to bleach their legs it is advisable you stop using those products in order for the toner to work. Do apply sunscreen on the feet in the morning. Otherwise, there could be intense irritation on that part of the body. The same applies to dark knuckles or dark elbows, or even dark knees. 

5. On the face: The glycolic toner is actually meant for the face. It has to be used in the night on dry skin as directed on the box. It is not for daily use and not suitable for sensitive skin. If you decide to use it, try to limit it to three times a week to avoid damaging your skin barrier. 

6: Scalp treatment: You can apply this as a pre-shampoo treatment. It helps to exfoliate your scalp and also relieves symptoms of dandruff. You can apply using cotton. Leave on for a couple of minutes and then shampoo your hair you can do this treatment once a month.

Do not use this on children!

How I make forever Clair Skin care products work for me

I've heard ladies complain about the forever Claire Skin care products  not working for them. Well, I nearly became one until I tweaked how I use it and since then, it's been a jolly good ride. I started using the Forever Claire products in July 2013 or so. What I've been doing is to using a cleanser first before applying any of the products. Well, I discovered the reason why the product didn't seem to be working well on its own. When using the cleanser, I'll dab a bit of cotton in it to clean my face. Apparently, it wasn't the cleanser that was doing the work, it was the cotton. The cotton was getting rid of dead cells by acting as an "exfoliating" material. It was cleaning the skin surface.

This face scrubbing technique left my skin feeling soft and smooth just like when I use the cotton and cl...
