Fundamentals | Invigorating + Balancing Toner
What is a Toner?
It is a hydrosol packed with antioxidants, anti-inflammatory properties and nourishing plant ingredients.
What does a Toner do?
As a hydrator our Toner serves the function of replenishing moisture in the skin. A toner is also responsible for helping to balance the PH of the skin after cleansing. The stability of your skin’s PH level is important to keeping it healthy and problem free. A toner also works as an accelerator. It preps the skin for other products and helps them penetrate into the skin.
When to use it?
Right after you wash your face, morning and evening. You can also use it throughout the day to refresh your skin.
How to use our Invigorating + Balancing Toner?
Hold the bottle about three inches away and spray it liberally unto face and neck. If you are using our 30ml bottle start with four sprays; if you are using our 120ml bottle start with 3 sprays. If your skin is really thirsty you might notice that it soaks up the Toner right away, don’t hesitate to keep spraying. Use your hands to gently pat the toner and help it absorb.
Three Main Benefits:
Literally tones the skin: One of the key ingredients in our Invigorating + Balancing Toner is Geranium. Geranium helps the skin to stay taught and firm. It helps the new skin cells to regenerate, improving signs of aging including hyperpigmentation.
Reduces Inflammation: Lavender water helps soothe inflamed skin, including acne and cystic acne. It also helps to reduce redness. Its antibacterial and antifungal properties can also help prevent acne bacteria.
Helps your serum penetrate: When applying serum to dry skin it will mostly just sit on the surface and in your pores making you look oily. When your skin is damp it is able to soak up the serum. The deeper the serum can penetrate the more benefits your skin is getting. Toner is very effective at helping prep skin for serum.
Who can use it?
Our Invigorating + Balancing Toner is great for all types of skin. It’ll add hydration to dry skin types, and help balance normal to oily skin types.
Advanced Technique:
- When applying your serum use the Toner to accelerate it into your skin by spraying it directly into the serum in your palm. Emulsifying the serum and toner together will help the serum penetrate deeper as well as boost hydration.
- Use the toner as a setting spray after you apply your makeup.
- Spray the toner midday to refresh your skin and your mood. The aromatherapy qualities of our Toner will calm and uplift you.
