    Skincare Basics Part 4: Toner, Girl, You need a toner.


    Toner. The hero of our story.

    I've had countless people ask me over the years "why do I need toner?"

    Or

    "Oh I used to use seabreeze....I can still smell it” *

    Or

    "Is it REALLY necessary?"

    The short answer is YES. It is.

    So let’s take a trip to my shower. No nothing untoward is happening...I just want you to have a visual.

    I have a glass walled shower. When I take a shower, and don't spray and wipe down the glass, I get water spots on the glass walls. Those water spots are the mineral buildup from the water.

    When we wash our face, a few things happen

    1. our cleanser puts the pH of our skin out of its prime range - purposefully, to help cleanse away the dirt and bacteria

    2. because we rinse with water, the minerals build up on the skin creating a film similar to those water spots on the glass

    A Toner counters those two things:

    it puts your skin back into prime pH AND it removes those water spots just like a windex wash would on that glass shower door. (please don't use windex on your skin. It was funny in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" - it's not funny in real life)

    WHY is is important for you to have your skin in optimal pH and remove the mineral buildup?

    It helps prevent irritation, dryness, and perhaps most importantly, it helps all the other products you put on after it work better.

    *Seabreeze is an astringent, NOT a toner, there IS a difference!

    **Bonus Tip**Toners can be used all over the body to prevent that winter dry itch on the skin You can spray it all over and wipe down with a towel

    Skin Care Basics Part 3: Exfoliate Properly


    So why do we exfoliate? And how much?

    Think of the skin you can see on your face as the shingles on a roof of a house. They’re in place to slough off water and protect. However, when those “shingles” stack up over time (because they're almost TOO good at protecting) nothing else can penetrate them.

    We WANT our serums and moisturizers to penetrate through the tiny tiny gaps in the the "shingles" so we have to exfoliate off the stuff that's just building up and hanging on.

    What I DO recommend:

    • Seeing an esthetician for professional level exfoliation every 4-6 weeks.

    • Using a gentle (VERY GENTLE) powder scrub with your cleanser every few days. (Amber Budd Skincare "Exfoliate // Polish" was made specifically for this purpose.)

    What I DO NOT recommend:

    • a coarse scrub (ahem! rhymes with quaint lies) that creates micro-tears in the surface of the skin, potentially causing more harm than good by spreading bacteria around and causing unnecessary irritation

    • a washcloth - not strong enough - UNLESS your skin is super sensitive. And by sensitive I mean your skin turns red or blotchy with the smallest touch to the skin - THEN I would say a washcloth is a good option for you. Maybe. Let's talk before you do that. :)
