🍒 Many conventional cleansers contain powerful detergents (aka surfactants) that—just as they break up oil spills on roadway or grease on a frying pan—strip away the natural, beneficial oils on your skin. Cosmetic companies’ solutions tend to involve adding back in moisturizer once you’ve cleansed, a strategy akin to substituting vitamins for whole foods. Instead, think of moisture like a healthy supplement, not the main event, and think of proper skincare, in large part, as an effort to maintain the natural oils you’ve got on skin. -Goop
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

What’s not to love?!
Hyaluronic acid molecules' unique ability to attract and retain more than 1,000 times their weight in water. One thousand! That's more than any other biological substance. - Beautyeditor
Did you know?
* "Hyaluronic Acid might not be the newest or flashiest ingredient out there, but it's tried and true and seriously good for your skin." Says Dr. Oz. First off, don't let the word "Acid" fool you. Hyaluronic Acid isn't harsh or skin-stripping at all. In fact it's the exact opposite-a powerful humectant (aka moisture binding ingredient) that keeps skin plump and hydrated and yes, young-looking.
Why oil based creme cleansers?
Oil based creme cleansers like Dr. Lucy’s Gentle Creme Cleanser draws out oil-based debris such as sebum, makeup, SPF and soot (aka pollutants)! Water-based cleansers aren't capable of removing oil-based debris because oil and water don't mix. -Soko Glam

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.

FYI! As we age moisture loss, environment, old makeup and sebum can set in causing everything from deep wrinkles, fine lines to enlarged pores and dull skin which will make us appear to look much older than we are.
Nature is the way...
"If nature had wanted us to use lots of synthetics on our body, she would have put all those chemical ingredients and other "beauty necessities" within easy reach, says Dr. J.B. Chapman author of: Dr. Schussler's Biochemistry
