Toner (alcohol-free only)
A toner is very helpful for oily skin and skin that experiences acne. A toner is also helpful for extra cleansing from makeup and suntan lotions. There are six main benefits from using a toner.
a. It shrinks pores by removing oils thus giving the face a smoother more youthful appearance.
b. Our skin is naturally acidic typically with a PH balance of 5 or 6. This PH balance can be affected by the alkaline nature of soap. When this happens you skin has to work harder to maintain its natural balance and can result in excessive oils being produced.  A toner helps to restore this natural balance.
c. It acts as an additional layer of protection.  Toners can tighten pores and lock in moisture in the face. Resulting in protection of environmental impurities and sun damage.
d. It leaves face feeling refreshed.  If you are an active and on the go you can splash on you toner to prevent sweat, dirt and oil build up.
e. It prevents ingrown hair. Toners possess ingredients such as glycolic acid and hydroxy acids that resurfaces skin tone and look and prevents ingrown hair that can promote inflammation and cysts.
Antioxidant serums
These serums are packed with antioxidant ingredients that protect the skin from free radicals.  Antioxidants are substances that can prevent or slow damage to cells caused by free radicals, unstable molecules that the body produces as a reaction to environmental and other pressures. They are sometimes called "free-radical scavengers." Antioxidants help to reduce the harmful effects of oxidation in the body and environment.
Eye cream
The skin under the eye is perhaps the most delicate thin skin on the body. So wrinkling first usually appear on this area first. Skin creams moisturize and nourish and brighten this area of the skin and helps to prevent "crow eyes" and dark circles thus reducing the look of tired and aging eyes.
Sunscreen
One cannot stress enough the importance of using a sunscreen daily.  What with our depleted ozone layer we are greatly exposed to the harmful effects of our sun's UV rays that penetrate the skin and cause aging.  These harmful rays break down all the youth generating proteins in our face such as our collagen, keratin and elastin.
Sunscreens block these harmful rays reducing burning and blistering of the skin preventing aging and skin cancers. If you are active outdoors apply liberaly and every 2 hours especially if you are swimming or sweating as water washes off your sunscreen protection. Choose a sunscreen tht is water proof and has a SPF minimum of 30 to ensure protection.
