To tone or not to tone that is the question...

In the old days, toners were necessary to balance the skin's pH after cleansing the skin. These days a good cleanser will already balance pH of the skin on its own leaving the question, do we really need a toner? The answer to the question is no you don't "need" a toner. However, I find toners to be a a great and simple way to up your skincare game. Not only do they smell great, I'm mildly obsessed with the smell of all of Blissoma's toners, but they are a great way to help balance and lock moisture into the skin.

Blissoma has 3 toners designed to work with all skin types. I could write a multi page report of all of the amazing benefits but to save everyone some precious time I will simplify with the below quick hits. I will also tell you, I love them all.

Adapt- Bio Balance Tonique is for oily, acne, problem and combination skin. The quick hit on this one is the amount of cantaloupe in the base. Organic cantaloupe brings Super Oxide Dismutase, Vitamin A, B3, B6 and potassium plus a wonderful melon smell.

Serene- Sacred Waters Tonique s designed for Ultra Sensitive and All Skin Types. There is no ethyl alcohol in this toner and it has MSM in it. What is MSM you might ask? Its a sulfur based  nutrient...sulfur helps to reduce the appearance of redness, blemishes, overall skin support and it promotes the appearance of firmness.

Intense - Ion Hydration Tonique is for Normal, Dry, Combination or All Skin Types. The quick hit on this is the addition of Dead Sea Salts and Sodium PCA to help the skin hold in hydration. The base of Intense includes a lot of fresh organic cucumbers. Cucumbers provide magnesium, potassium and caffeic acid for optimum hydration. 

A quick tip: You can skip a morning face wash and simply spray toner on your skin to freshen up and ready yourself for the day. It is a moisture saving thing to do in the dry winter months.
