Refreshing/Spray Toners

I would really like to apologise for this picture first of all. No matter how hard I tried, these products just didn't want to be photographed at all. And unfortunately, this is the best picture out of a really bad bunch. I thought to myself; 'should I do this post? Is it worth it?' And in the end I decided that I'd rather have a post and a bad picture than no post at all. So here it is! 
If you're from England then you will probably know that the weather hasn't been that great recently. It's been rainy, it's been horrible but it's still been pretty humid so I've been enjoying using refreshing toners lately. I think these toners are great for waking your skin up in a morning and also refreshing them at night time after a hard day of wearing a full face of make up.
Angela Langford Freshen Up - Rose, Geranium & Orange Blossom Toner* - £10.35
I'm a huge fan of Angela Langford as I believe she has great customer care which I think is very important. This toner is wonderful and it gives the skin an instant wake up call. The scent immediately makes you feel more alert and awake whilst the product itself brightens up the skin. Recommend for: those who have dull skin and want waking up.
Avene Eau Thermal Avene Water Spray* - £6.50
For me, this is the best spray for setting your make up. The aerosol can is really lovely and finely sprays the water evenly over your skin. Essentially, this is just very good water but the thing for me that makes me love it so much and say that it's worth the price is that the packaging keeps the water really cool so it's great for a summers day and also, as I mentioned before the aerosol can really does spray amazingly well and it doesn't coat your skin in a thick layer of water. Recommend for: setting your make up/hot, summer days.
Proactiv Revitalising Toner* - £39.99 (for a set of all three products)
The thing that I love the most about this toner is that it works very well (with the other two products in the kit) at combating acne and spots but it doesn't dry the skin out at the same time. As the name suggest, it's a revitalising toner that awakens the skin, tightens pores and removes any traces of dirt/make up that you have on your skin. Recommend for: those with blemish prone skin.
Care Witch Hazel* - £3.56
A very cheap product! This may not look all that glamourous but the beauty is within the product. This cleanser/toner is great at removing make up and although I originally thought that this would be drying, it wasn't. Witch Hazel is also known for it's relief of cuts, sprains, bruises and minor scalds so it's very handy to have around the house. Recommend for: those who want a multi-tasking product.
Skin Therapy Toner* - £0.98
This is so cheap! I was very shocked when I received the press release with this product as it's very rare that you'd find a toner for this price. Don't let the price fool you though, it's very lovely. I'd love to decant this into a spray bottle as I think it'd be great to refresh make up with. But I've been using it just a nighttime toner as it's wonderful at removing traces of make up. It's also suitable for sensitive skin and relieves tight skin and softens it up. Very lovely and a bargain for the price! Recommend for: those on a tight budget/those with sensitive skin.
Rhodes to Heaven Juniperberry Cleanser and Tonic* - £17.00
I really love this product. It's a great cleanser and removes make up exceptionally well - as much as most facial washes. I adore the smell of this product.. It's not one that I can describe but it's pretty strong yet natural smelling. It's quick and easy to use and calms, soothes, cools, balances and tones the skin all at once! This also is available in a travel friendly 50ml spray bottle which is refillable so you can top it up with your bigger bottle. Recommend for: those who don't have a lot of time.
Jurlique Citrus Purifying Mist* - £21.50
This is my favourite out of them all. Citrus scents are my favourite scents so I knew almost immediately that I was going to fall in love with this. It smells beautiful and it really refreshes the skin and make up. It's perfect in the morning, it's perfect throughout the day and it's perfect at nighttime too. The only problem I have with this toner is the packaging. It's beautiful, glass and very classy but it's not very good for travelling. Especially because I'd love to pop this in my bag to refresh my skin throughout the day but I can't. So I'd love for Jurlique to do a travel version of this toner. Recommend for: those with oily skin.
What's your favourite refreshing/spray toner?
