Toner is usually a clear liquid (or slightly coloured), it's quite watery. It's meant to be used after cleansing and before moisturising to remove any left over cleanser and deep clean the pores. A lot of people think it's not that necessary. Don't buy an alcohol based one, it will dry your skin too much.





Lotion is a light fluid, heavier than water but more runny than a cream. You can get all sorts of lotion - it doesn't describe the product, but the texture. So sunscreen lotion, moisturising lotion, acne lotion, tanning lotion.





Cream is thick. If you have dry skin a cream moisturiser is better. If you have oily skin go for a lotion. You can get all sorts of cream - again, it's describing the weight and texture.





Your routine should be cleanse, tone then moisturise. Always wear a sunscreen during the day.
