Do you really need a skin toner?

Artistry skincare specialist Michelle D’Allaird explains why you won’t want to leave Artistry Skin Nutrition™ toners out of your skincare routine
The foundation of healthy skin begins with proper skincare. It all starts with the basics, and the basics always stay the same, so they’re worth learning. A good, simple skincare regimen requires a cleanser, toner and moisturiser (in that order). From there, you can enhance your regimen with serums, treatment products and masks. But for now, let’s focus on one of the most frequently ignored basic products - toner.
The benefits of a toner
It plays an essential role in the health of the skin and has a direct influence on preparing the skin for the products used immediately following it. Toners balance the pH of the skin, allowing for optimal penetration of active ingredients in treatment products and moisturisers. On their own, they also add hydration to the skin and serve as a booster for freshness.
For as long as I can remember, toners are always left out, considered not necessary and are minimally purchased. However, this one product benefits the skin greatly and enhances the efficacy of many products in your skincare routine. Why would we ever leave it out?

Artistry Skin Nutrition™ toners take it a step further
The Artistry Skin Nutrition™ toners provide added benefits to the skin that go above and beyond previous formulations, and exceedingly above and beyond the formulations of competitors.
They all contain white chia seed gel – an ingredient obtained by soaking white chia seeds to obtain a phytonutrient-rich gel that power packs the skin after cleansing. It balances the pH of the skin and the microbiome to establish a perfectly balanced barrier of good and bad bacteria.
The balance of bacteria is absolutely essential to the health of the skin. It directly impacts the ability of the skin to react, accept and serve as a barrier to both the environment and skincare products.
When the microbiome is unstable a multitude of negative events happen:
The ingredient absorption and penetration are affected. The skin can then either block active ingredients or absorb too much.
The environmental stressors are given an open gate. Pollutants from the environment, light, cosmetics and virtually everything around us are given permission to flood the skin and create volumes of free radical damage.
An unbalanced microbiome directly leads to skin sensitivity and inflammation, two of the biggest skin concerns of people today.
All of this can be managed with the use of a toner.
Clear as day – and your skin!
When you understand the facts, the benefits of a toner are clear and its necessity is no longer a question. Healthy skin requires a good skincare routine. Artistry Skin Nutrition™ toners not only deliver what is necessary but go above and beyond to provide you with healthy, beautiful and youthful-looking skin.
I’ll give you a challenge: use a toner twice a day for five days and see the difference in your skin yourself!
