Did you know that the pH of your skin can determine how healthy, glowing and vibrant it is? Thats because the skin's pH plays a key role in maintaining a healthy and strong lipid barrier, providing a thriving environment for your skin's microbiome and immune system.

In the health and wellness community, we are encouraged to keep our bodies alkaline to avoid chronic inflammatory conditions and disease. However, our skin should NOT be alkaline. In fact, healthy skin should have a pH of around 4.5 - 5.5. A neutral pH is 7; so anything below that is considered an ACIDIC environment and anything above it is termed ALKALINE.

Yes, Toners Are Necessary

1. Toners are crucial to the cleansing process. Toner removes the final residue of make-up, dirt & oil leftover cleanser and unless you are using filtered water to cleanse your skin, there is chlorine, calcium, flouride and other heavy metals in the water that will be left on the skin. When the chemicals dry, they shrink, leaving a white film, and ultimately leaving you feeling tight and dry. If you put a moisturizer directly on top of these chemicals, you will continue to dull and dry the skin. The film must be removed with toner using a cotton pad.
