Skincare Tip to Balance the PH of Your Skin

 

 

 

 

Why do you need to balance your skin’s PH?

Toners are often omitted but they are a very important part of your skincare regime. They are designed to remove any last traces of dirt or product, close the pores and bring the skin back to a healthy PH level to maintain the acid barrier, enabling your skin to protect itself.  People used to call toners astringents, however, they contained alcohol and tended to dry the skin.  Youthful Glow Toner contains no alcohol.

 

 

 

 

 

Skincare Tip – What is Important About the PH of Your Skin?

• Maintaining the PH of your skin means helping the acid mantle to do its job.
• The acid mantle is a protective layer on the surface of the skin
• It is formed mainly by sebum, natural oils that sit on the surface of the skin, forming an acidic layer.
• Its main purpose is to defend the skin from bacteria and other contaminating toxins.
• It keep the the skin healthy, in good condition, as well as helping it to function properly.  Because the skin is the largest of our organs, you can appreciate how important this is.
• The acid mantle maintains the microbiome – a delicate balance of micro organisms that contribute to skin health.
• It maintains healthy moisture levels and also reduces sensitivity.
• Because of the acidity created by the acid mantle, bacteria is unable to survive.
• Damage to the acid mantle can mean that your skin is more prone to skin problems, such as acne or dryness.
• Research has shown that soaps and other products can damage the acid mantle.
• Maintaining the acid mantle encourages healthy, glowing skin.

 

Skincare tip for Normal – Dry or Mature Skin

This is a lovely product for dry, dehydrated or mature skin but can be used if you have normal skin too.

Ingredients and benefits

• This product is alcohol free, in order to ensure that it is gentle on the skin.
• Panthenol, often called Pro vitamin B5 is a nourishing moisturiser for the skin, even helping damaged skin!  It soothes and softens the skin, thereby reducing moisture loss.  It helps to maintain the elasticity of the skin, and also tones and firms the skin, as well as smoothing roughness or dryness.
• Rose water is balancing and has anti-oxidant properties.  Imago Skincare Rose Water comes from a farm in Norfolk.
• An extract of the South African plant called Spilanthes Acmella, which is 100% natural and plant-based.  It is ethically and sustainably sourced, as well as supporting local farmers. It plumps, firms and smooths the skin, as well as having properties that increase elasticity.  In addition, it helps to provide a smooth surface ready for your makeup.
• Cucumber Extract -contains a host of ingredients to support the skin at a cellular level.  It is one of my favourite ingredients, because it improves the complexion and helps the skin to look refreshed and revitalised.
• As well as all of the above benefits, Firm and Nourish Toner helps to return the PH of the skin to the correct levels.
• Fragranced with Neroli, Mandarin and Ho Wood, (I like to call it a happy blend), this blend of  essential oils helps to brightens the skin, promotes cell growth, reduces redness, tightens skin and slows the aging process.  The blend also has mood enhancing properties – it’s delicious!

How to use it
