Skin and the Body

The skin is the largest organ of the body. Taking care of your skin is necessary for the health of your body, but may also be useful in achieving some aesthetic aspirations. The skin is the largest gateway for the environment to interact with the body, especially as substances applied to the skin have fast access into the bloodstream. Taking care of the body's skin organ system properly requires consistent care and a developed skincare routine. Incorporating the necessary skincare products into your routine based on your needs and skin type is important for maintaining your skin's health, as well as to achieve the aesthetic benefits associated with hydrated and healthy skin.

What is Toner?

Toner is an element of the skincare routine and is often considered to be the skin care's most underrated and abundantly effective aspect. Toner is a water-based liquid that is often infused with skin-soothing ingredients like eucalyptus, peppermint, and aloe. The goal of a toner is to gently refresh the skin without stripping it of its natural moisture, meaning it will not irritate sensitive skin or cause dehydration and drier skin. Toner is useful as preparation for your skin to soak up the subsequent skincare products you apply much more effectively. Those with oily and acne-prone skin may find it especially beneficial, as it goes above and beyond in cleaning out and sealing up pores.¹

Highlighted Ingredient: Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice is commonly known as Aloe Vera and is extracted from the leaves of the Aloe plant. Aloe has been used for thousands of years medicinally across many cultures, and it includes over 200 nutritional substances, including but not limited to 20 minerals, 20 amino acids, 12 vitamins (including A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, C, E, Choline and Folic Acid), and active enzymes. The vitamins are useful in protecting the skin from free radicals, which can damage skin and cause premature aging. The leaf juice of Aloe Barbadensis can serve as an anti-inflammatory and soothe the skin, even in cases of burns, and can also reduce scars and have wound healing properties. Aloe is also useful in protecting the skin from UV damage through aloin, an herb of aloe that can block up to 30 percent of ultraviolet rays when it's applied to the skin's surface.

Highlighted Ingredient: Witch Hazel

Witch hazel is a substance extracted from the bark and leaves of a tree-like plant indigenous to North America and parts of Asia. Once extracted, the bark and leaves are distilled, which brings out the active chemical compounds of the plant. Witch hazel has many benefits, such as warding off the physical signs of aging, having antioxidant effects mitigating and preventing free radical damage t the skin, oxidizing air pollution, tightening pores, reducing inflammation, calming skin appearance, aiding oily skin, fighting acne, soothing puffy eyes, and improving skin tone.
