## Description

desertcart.com: ILIA - The Base Face Milk Essence + Lightweight, Layerable Moisturizer | Hydrate, Smooth, Soothe, Strengthen | Non-Toxic, Vegan, Cruelty-Free, Clean Makeup (Full Size, 3.4 fl oz | 100 ml) : Beauty & Personal Care

Review: Go for it! It’s worth it! - This is my favorite, I absolutely love it. I apply as my first step before makeup and it preps my skin so nicely. Sometimes I’ll even mix a few drops into my foundation or bronzing drops for a more natural, “no-makeup” makeup look. I also apply at night after cleansing, before Ilia’s barrier repair cream. (LOVE Ilia skincare products but beware some of their makeup is not as clean as they claim it to be!) It’s a wonderful milky consistency that you just gently pat all over your face and neck, and it feels lovely! The ingredients are clean, non-toxic, no fragrance… so soothing for the skin. This wasn’t my first time buying it and it won’t be my last. I know there are some other milk toner/moisturizers on the market for much cheaper but I genuinely love this one too much to switch it up!
Review: Clean, Lightweight, Dewy Finish - I’ve been using ILIA The Base Face Milk Toner for a few weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed. First of all, I love that it's nontoxic and vegan—it feels good knowing I'm putting something clean, conscious, and quality on my skin. The texture is super lightweight & airy. My skin is more hydrated and dewy than I’ve ever seen it. Over time, I’ve noticed my complexion looking more even and refreshed. It's a bit expensive for a toner, however an entire bottle lasts me longer than a month and my skin thanks me for it. My recommendation is to use a dime sized amount when applying. I have definitely overused and had problems applying my foundation after. I apply it right after cleansing, and it gives me an instant moisture boost and healthy glow before layering with sunscreen and foundation. It’s definitely become a staple in my routine!
