You should find your own ideal number of layers: I have tried doing up to 15 layers on a particularly dry day with a gentle, very watery toner, and my skin loved it.

You can use more than one essence at a time; some skincare gurus use up to seven in a row! Besides, how do you layer a toner? To make sure your skin is smooth, before you start layering the toner or the essence, soak a cotton pad with a toner or a cleansing water and gently sweep away any impurities on your skin before you start layering.Can you apply toner with hands?You can apply toner either way. If you want to make sure there is any residue left behind on your skin, you can apply it with a cotton pad. If you want to apply it to balance your pH, you can pat it into your skin with your hands.
