Why use a toner?
A facial toner is an essential asset of your skincare routine because it helps rebalance the skin's pH after cleansing, tighten pores and prepare the skin to better absorb the following treatments (like your serum or cream). It's also obviously loaded with the specific benefits of the ingredients it contains.
What is bakuchiol?
Revolutionary, bakuchiol is the rising star of natural anti-aging care. Acting on the skin the same way as retinol, it's establishing itself as its number 1 (and better) alternative in the cosmetics world.
- Stimulates collagen production and regenerates skin, for firmer skin, a renewed and smoother complexion, and softened wrinkles, fine lines and dark spots
- Antioxidant: fights premature skin aging by protecting it from the harmful effects of the sun and pollution
- Oily-prone skin: purifying and antibacterial, it prevents breakouts and soothes the inflammation linked to their appearance. It also acts on sebum oxidation, which reduces the appearance of blackheads
- Non-photosensitizing: unlike retinol, which must be used in the evening only, cosmetics containing bakuchiol can be used at any time!
- Non-irritating and non-drying (yes, many experience irritation and dryness with retinol, which isn't the case with bakuchiol!)
Our bakuchiol extract is water-soluble - so it's super easy to add to a hydrosol-based facial toner like this recipe, or one containing a hydrosol (like a two-phase serum) and enjoy its fabulous properties!
