Fresh Ideas

Toners- Benefits and how to use them.

clarifytoner1-copy

Why use a toner?

Traditionally toners are used after cleansing / masking and before moisturizing. Natural plant based toners are gentle enough to be used mid- day to freshen up the skin as well. Toners balance the pH of the skin so that it can better assimilate the moisturizer that follows. A good quality toner with nutritious ingredients can add antioxidants, balance excess sebum production, firm the skin, even the overall tone of the skin and promote healthy circulation (especially if Witch Hazel is used in the formula).

How to use a toner

Use a toner twice daily after cleansing and before you moisturize. Spray and either leave on or blot off. Additionally during the day you can mist your face to freshen up and plump up dehydrated, tired skin.

My favorite tips!

Morning- I spray my toner and then while skin is still damp, apply my moisturizer. They blend beautifully and aid in each others assimilation into the skin leaving it so soft and hydrated.

Evening- I use one pump of my favorite facial oil and then a few sprays of my toner into the palm of my hand. I rub them together and apply by massaging in gently circles. It feels so refreshing!
