Facial Toner for Young Skin
“Rebellion is the most sacred of rights and the most indispensable of duties” Marquis de La Fayette
Two teenagers have already passed through my home and a third is on the way. Through them and their circle of friends I have been able to observe how the skin behaves in those who are preparing to take responsibility for their own lives.
In general, the greater the need to rebel (against oneself, against the family, against society…), the more strongly acne appears.
And if circumstances do not allow that rebelliousness, it remains latent until the moment it can be released (emancipation, independence…), and with it its physical expression.
The psychosomatic component is just as important to bear in mind as the physical one.
There are four main factors that cause acne locally:
- Excess production of oil (sebum).
- Hair follicles blocked by oil and dead skin cells.
- Bacteria.
- Inflammation.
This toner contains a concentration of lactic acid ferment that helps cell renewal, since a suitably acidic pH (buffer effect) favours the removal of dead cells, which helps to activate blood circulation, cleanse the pores deeply and stimulate the regeneration of tissue cells.
Lactic acid has the property of allowing efficient bacteria to survive while hindering others whose proliferation causes disease, which is why it is so beneficial in treating skin conditions.
It also helps to remove redness and subtle blemishes on the skin.
The remaining ingredients are selected to:
- Reduce the size of open pores, which considerably improves the reddish look of the complexion.
- Help improve the symptoms of irritating, flaking conditions such as psoriasis and rosacea, thanks to its emollient and soothing action.
- Correct the skin’s pH.
- Smooth rough patches and leave the face much more radiant.
- Balance excess sebum thanks to its astringent action.
- Keep acne under control.
- Prepare the skin to absorb masks and cosmetics better.
With this facial toner I complete the care routine for oily-prone skin. (See CLEANSING OIL FOR YOUNG SKIN and PURIFYING MASK)
