How to take your skin from sad to fab!
Hello you! Welcome back to the skin chat room. It’s been said that failing to prepare is preparing to fail, right? Toner and toning essence have been used for centuries in skincare routines, it is the final step in the cleansing process, also a skincare superstar in K-Beauty (Korean beauty). Toning essence is your key to happy, healthy, and hydrated skin. If you feel as though your skincare routine is not quite ticking your boxes, then chances are it's time to add a toner.
What exactly is toner?
A toner or toning essence is designed as the 'prep step' in your skincare routine. Using a toner helps remove any residue after using a cleanser, which includes makeup, excess oils, dead skin cells, and everything in between. Using a toner is the first step in preparing your skin for the rest of the routine, it helps with the absorption of other products by refreshing, replenishing, and preparing the skin. It is like practicing your speech in the mirror before your big interview. Toner and toning essence is used to assist the skin's pH levels (which are the acid and alkaline levels) making sure that your skin remains right in the middle, happy, and healthy. Do you ever wonder why certain products aren't alleviating your skin challenges, it is most probably because you're unaware of where your skin lies on the pH scale, therefore not understanding how to treat your skin.

Skin pH balance and levels explained in simple terms
Balance in all areas of your life is important, and your skin should not be left behind. Understanding your skin's pH balance will get you one step ahead in getting to know your skin and treating it exactly the way it wants, as well as understanding why certain products fail to give you the results you deserve. On our pH scale, we have acidic to the left, alkaline to the right, and neutral, right in the middle at 7. The reason we show you this is to emphasize the importance and benefits of maintaining a balanced pH level for happy healthy skin.

Figuring out your skin's pH levels

Having unbalanced pH levels can cause premature ageing, and the reasons why your pH levels might be off-balance could be any related to skin issues such as dry skin, dry patches, redness, oiliness, or psoriasis, etc. This indicates that your skin's barrier (protective layer) could be damaged due to sun rays, free radicals, diet, and even stress.
