FAQ

Why should I use the Essence Toner, and what does a facial toner do?

Designed for the fast-paced life of young urban dwellers, our Essence Toner is the perfect addition to your skincare routine. With the constant demands of social and lifestyle pressures, this toner is formulated to keep your skin refreshed and energized.

Our Essence Toner provides deep hydration while balancing the skin. Packed with moisture-boosting ingredients, it ensures your skin remains revitalized throughout the day. Rich in antioxidants, it helps protect and prime the skin, preparing it to face the challenges of urban life.

Cleansing can disrupt the skin’s natural pH, leaving it vulnerable to dryness and irritation. Our Essence Toner works to restore this balance, leaving your skin calm, soothed, and ready for the next steps in your skincare routine. This added hydration ensures that serums and moisturizers are absorbed more effectively, enhancing their benefits.

Additionally, the lightweight and versatile nature of our essence toner makes it suitable for all skin types. Whether your skin is dry, oily, or sensitive, it delivers the perfect balance of hydration without clogging pores or feeling heavy.

Incorporating our Essence Toner into your routine helps shield your skin from urban stressors, deeply hydrates, and ensures your complexion remains youthful, vibrant, and ready for any challenge.

Why is balancing your skins PH important?

Maintaining your skin’s optimal pH balance is crucial for ensuring that it functions properly and stays healthy. The ideal pH level for your skin is between 4.5 and 5.5, which is slightly acidic. Keeping your skin within this range is important because it helps maintain a healthy skin barrier and microbiome, which are essential for protecting against harmful bacteria, environmental pollutants, and other irritants.

When your skin’s pH is balanced, it’s better equipped to ward off bacteria and other pathogens that can lead to breakouts, inflammation, and other skin issues. An optimal pH also ensures that your skin barrier remains intact, preventing moisture loss and keeping your skin hydrated. This is particularly important for maintaining smooth, healthy skin and preventing issues like dryness, irritation, and sensitivity.

Throughout the day, your skin’s pH fluctuates due to factors such as environmental exposure, pollution, and even the products you use. For example, many cleansers, especially those that are too harsh or alkaline, can disrupt your skin’s pH balance, causing it to become either too acidic or too alkaline. This disruption can weaken your skin’s barrier and make it more prone to dryness, irritation, or breakouts.

Balancing your skin’s pH after cleansing is essential to bring it back into the optimal range. Using products such as a toner designed to restore the skin’s pH helps reset the balance, providing a solid foundation for the rest of your skincare routine. When your skin is in its optimal pH range, it’s better able to absorb serums, moisturizers, and other treatments effectively, ensuring that they work as intended.

By maintaining a balanced pH, you not only support your skin’s natural defense mechanisms but also promote long-term skin health, hydration, and radiance.

How should I apply a facial toner?

Applying our Essence Toner is a simple yet crucial step in your skincare routine, and using it correctly ensures you reap the full benefits. Designed to be pumped directly into the palm of your hand, our toner eliminates the need for cotton pads, making it a more eco-friendly and efficient option.

To apply, start with clean hands and freshly cleansed skin. Pump a small amount of toner into your palm—usually one or two pumps are sufficient—and gently smooth it over your face. Pat the toner lightly into your skin with your fingertips to ensure even distribution and better absorption. Focus on areas that may need extra hydration, such as your forehead, cheeks, and chin.

The best time to use the Essence Toner is immediately after cleansing, both in the morning and at night. Using it as the first step in your routine helps restore your skin’s pH balance, prepping it for serums and moisturizers that follow. This routine enhances the absorption of subsequent products, allowing your skin to fully benefit from the hydrating and nourishing ingredients.

By incorporating our toner into your daily routine, you help maintain balanced, hydrated, and radiant skin all day long.

Is toner suitable for all skin types?

A facial toner can be a game-changer for oily skin, especially because oily skin types are often more prone to dehydration. While it may seem counterintuitive, oily skin can actually lack moisture, which leads to the skin feeling tight and dry despite the presence of excess oils. This condition is known as dehydration, and it's a common issue for those with oily skin.

Many people with oily skin use products designed to control shine or reduce oil production. Unfortunately, these products can sometimes be too harsh, stripping not only excess oil but also essential hydration. This can create a cycle where the skin overproduces oil to compensate for the lack of moisture, leaving it both oily and dehydrated at the same time. When this happens, the skin feels dry or tight, yet it still appears shiny or greasy due to the overproduction of oil.

This is where a facial toner becomes an essential part of the skincare routine. A good toner, especially one designed for oily skin, helps to restore hydration without adding any heaviness or excess oil. It replenishes the skin's moisture levels and balances its pH after cleansing. This balance is key in keeping oily skin hydrated while preventing the overproduction of oil.

Using a toner can also help prep oily skin for the application of serums and moisturizers, ensuring that these products absorb more effectively without clogging pores. Incorporating a toner into your routine helps maintain the skin’s hydration, preventing that uncomfortable tight feeling, while still managing oil production.

For oily skin types, a toner is an ideal solution to break the cycle of dehydration and excess oil, promoting a balanced, healthy complexion.
