It turns out that the right cleanser and toner absolutely make a difference!
“The cleanser you use is the most important part of your skin care routine. It is the start and end of your day, it simultaneously clears off the dirt and grime and preps your skin for your products, so if you’re using the wrong one, your other products just won’t be as effective.”- says, Aubrey Wallace of Annmarie

"I like to recommend toning while traveling," says Harper. "The air in-flight is so drying, and a toner will cleanse, hydrate, and leave you feeling refreshed." -says, Ruthie Harper, of the Laser and Skincare Clinic in Austin Texas
Do I really need a natural toner? Yes, a thousand times yes!
Skin cells are like fish and need water to live so be sure to use a toner immediately after cleansing. To wipe or spray it over the skin and leave it damp, it does not take much time at all (15-20 seconds!) So don’t think of it as another unnecessary, time-consuming step. Your skin needs as much hydration and protection as possible for it to be in its healthiest state so it can look and feel its best. -Renee Rouleau

🍒 A Helpful Hint!
If you don’t tone first, when you hop into the shower your pores will open up quickly and absorb even more dirt and grime from the day, creating more of a problem.

“A Toner primes the skin for moisturizers and serums. It allows for these solutions to penetrate deeper into your skin, helps hydrate the skin and removes any excess dirt or grime that wasn’t cleaned off by your facial cleanser.” Plus, toners can target everything from aging, dark spots, acne, oil, dryness and even sensitivity and irritability. - Stacy Cox, Los Angeles-based esthetician
Great Summer skin care tips!
Cleanse twice a day.
When the air is hot and humid, your skin may experience more oil than usual. You also may find that you sweat more now compared to previous spring months that were on the milder side.
Moisturize morning and night.
Replenish skin with a concentrated dose of hydration while you sleep. Consider trying a face cream formulated with aloe, the hydrating ingredient can deliver much-needed moisture to summer skin that has been out in the sun.

Making the toner the second step after cleansing. Plus prepares your skin for your moisturizers and anti-aging products. Says, Dana Oliver, Executive Fashion and Beauty Editor, The Huffington Post.

Detox my skin?
Yes, when you go from chemical skin care to natural skin care your skin goes through a detoxification process (and we don’t mean breakouts). What happens after the detoxification process? Your skin is not struggling to survive anymore. It becomes stress free, starts to breathe properly and come alive again. Now you can have beautiful skin naturally.
Use your intuition.
