Why use a Toning Gel?
Toners haven’t always had a great reputation over the years, with many traditional products containing alcohol, known for drying out the skin and stripping it of its natural oils. This can lead to skin irritations, flare-ups and premature ageing.
Combine this with the fact that many of us spend our days in artificially heated or cooled environments, possibly not drinking enough water and consuming caffeine and alcohol. The result? Seriously dehydrated, dull skin.
That’s where a high quality, alcohol free toner comes in, providing an infusion of much needed moisture for the skin. Hydrating the skin is an important component of your skincare regime and can result in improved skin elasticity, smoother texture, less fine lines and wrinkles and an even tone.
Living Nature’s certified natural, alcohol-free Toning Gels boast ingredients such as New Zealand’s Harakeke Flax Gel, Active Mānuka Honey and Larch Tree Extract to repair dehydration by drawing moisture into the skin. Known as nature’s super skin hydrator, Harakeke contains a high quantity of natural skin nutrients and polysaccharides - naturally soothing, hydrating and cooling the skin. Independent in vitro tests show Harakeke Gel to be even more hydrating, moisturising and healing than Aloe Vera. It is also an excellent natural alternative to petrochemically derived synthetic gels. That’s why we have used this ingredient extensively in our range for many years.
Refreshing and lightweight, our Toning Gels glide onto skin, absorbing rapidly with no sticky residue. Toning helps to calm and balance the skin and prepare it for your next important step – applying a night cream or moisturiser. Applying a cream after toning helps to ‘lock’ in all the goodness and hydration of your toner. Your skin will be left feeling soft, refreshed, and glowing.
