Twenty One Days of Healthy Skin: To Tone or Not to Tone? (Day 18)
Seeing is believing!
The use of toners as part of the skin routine is a very well-entrenched habit.
Why do you need to use a toner?
To correct the pH of the skin when using cleansers that have an alkaline pH – All Lamelle cleanser maintain healthy skin pH
To exfoliate the skin – At Lamelle we believe you should exfoliate 2-3 times per week using an enzymatic exfoliator that mimics your bodies’ exfoliation functions. Or you could have a chemical peel with your skincare professional every 14 to 28 days.
To tighten skin – astringent effect – These are luckily no longer fashionable as the alcohol they contained did more harm than good.
To remove dirt not removed with your cleanser – your cleanser should be formulated to take care of all the dirt and grime on your skin. You could also double cleanse if you do have very oily skin or on those days when you need to wear more make-up.
With all these reasons it is about correcting the surface of the skin but does nothing for the skin cells. There is also no positive response from the skin that can be seen.
What if we offered a solution, that comes in a liquid form, and has the following effects on your skin:
Improves the elasticity of your skin
Improves the plumpness of skin by getting your skin cells to bind more water and prevent water loss via the skin into the environment
Calming reactivity and reducing redness
Managing the processes in your skin that cause your skin to age
All while also improving how your skin cells respond to the ingredients you are providing to it in your moisturisers, serums, and booster.
Adding Skin Essence skincare priming liquids, in the place of toning, to your daily and nightly routine will mean that you achieve your skincare goals much quicker. Without upgrading other active skincare products. Skin Essene skincare priming liquids contains pro-biotic lysate and extracts that achieve a positive response from skin cells.
And YES, you do use them like you would a toner but they are skincare priming liquids.
Skin Essence Corrector is aimed and skin that is showing signs of aging
Skin Essence Rejuvenate is aimed at the skin where we are wanting to prevent aging. This product is also the preferred product on acne-prone skin.
