Why are Toniques and Mists important?
There can be alot of steps to a skin care regime that can make it seem cumbersome, but one of the most important and easiest steps that there is would be your facial toniques or mists. It literally takes seconds, but you will reap major benefits from the simple spritz!
I’ve discussed with many of you in the treatment room the importance of maintaining a healthy PH balance. The PH balance should be 7, not too acidic and not too much alkaline. When the lipid barrier becomes unbalanced that’s when we see unwanted conditions occur. Those conditions can be a range of things…….too dry, too oily, acne, dehydration, pigmentation issues, redness, and many other things. It really doesn’t take much to become unbalanced either! You could have the wrong thing to eat, like too much sugar, something spicy, drink too much 
wine. Also if you’re hormonal……WHAM. Weather can be a factor. Switching skin care products. I mean, the list really is endless. Remember, your skin is a living organ, its changing like you are. It can fluctuate just like your weight. So, just because you’re classified as one particular skin type that doesn’t mean that you won’t change from time to time. The key to great skin health is being in touch with how it looks and feels from day to day. Pay attention to the small details and don’t tune out your toner.
When applying, you can use it a few different ways. Spritzing it directly onto your face and letting it dry is the way I prefer. You may also apply it to cotton balls and wipe over your skin or spritz it in your hands and splash it on your face. All work, it just depends on your needs. Either way it’s a quick, no-brainer step that shouldn’t be skipped. Toniques return your barrier to its correct PH balance and add a layer of protection by tightening cell gaps after cleansing to keep out environmental impurities. They are also humectants so, they bind moisture to the skin and are extremely revitalizing. All of the Toniques and Mists from Eminence are fruit and plant based so they have some hydroxy acids which is also great for preventing ingrown hairs.
I’m having fun incorporating Eminence Toniques and Mists in my own at home regime and I’m enjoying switching it up! It’s not only been beneficial on my skin, they smell beautiful and they have such an array of different ones for anytime your skin gets a little out of whack. So, to stay hydrated, refreshed, soothed, and balanced, reach for your spritz!
