Facial Toners: Why You Need To Have One In Your Facial Routine

A great toner:

• • • Refreshes skin

    • Feeds skin essential building blocks and antioxidants

    • Balances the pH of your skin

    • Reduces the appearance of pores

    • Moisturizes

    • Adds a layer of protection

Arguably the most important role of a toner is to balance the pH of your skin after cleansing. Cleansers can dry your skin because they are inherently alkaline. By using a toner you'll bring the pH of your skin back to its natural levels between 5.5-5.9. In other words, by having a great toner in your daily skincare routine, you're serving your skin by giving it a taste and priming and prepping it to better absorb beneficial ingredients from products such as serums and moisturizers. Think of it as a primer you put on before painting a wall. The paint (your serum and moisturizers) will work so much better and effectively after the primer has been applied. Now don't worry, there is hardly any prep involved. No need to lay down a bunch of drop cloths and put on coveralls!

As much as we love the beauty of simplicity, and recognize that there are times when less is more, in the case of toner - MORE IS MORE! Since toner is not a rinse off product, we jam-packed our formulation by loading each bottle with beneficial acids, antioxidants, cosmeceuticals, and anti-inflammatories so you get as much value as possible from every spritz.

A terrifically formulated toner with high-impact and well balanced ingredients can actually serve as a one-stop solution for some people with an oily skin type who are short on time. A couple spritzes after cleansing your face will give your skin a dose of hydration, pH balancing, beneficial cosmeceuticals, tightened pores, and a layer of protection. Is it as effective as a full skin care regimen? No, but if I had to choose one facial staple for someone with oily skin, this would be it. Just like the earlier paint analogy, applying a coat of primer is 10x better than nothing at all.

Our revitalizing facial toner was formulated to be effective for ALL skin types and ticks all the toner checklist boxes.

Just apply 2-3 spritzes after cleansing your skin and gently pat this fast-penetrating elixir on your face. If using a gel toner, you may spread on your palms, then apply to your face in an upward circular padding motion. You will immediately feel the cool burst of revitalizing hydration similar to quenching your thirst after a strenuous day in the heat. A few seconds later, once your skin has absorbed the toner, you will feel an immediate change in the texture and smoothness of your skin. Hello baby face!
