About EllieGlow’s AHA Prepping Toner with Pomegranate & Lemongrass

Soap is an alkali (the opposite of acid). When you wash with soaps, you upset the pH balance. This is bad because it creates an environment that is friendlier to bacteria, making the skin more inclined to breakouts. Most important, the skin’s acid blanket (mantle) is responsible for keeping in lipids (natural fats) and moisture while blocking germs, pollution, toxins, and bacteria from attacking its surface. When your skin’s pH level gets unbalanced your skin can become dry and sensitive; you may even get eczema. It can also go the other way, becoming far too oily – especially in your T-zone. Or you may suffer from several forms of inflammation, which inhibits the skin’s ability to ward off cellular damage which affects your ability to heal wound or repair tissue.

Even worse, when you upset the balance in your skin cells, you can amp up the nasty enzymes that destroy collagen and cause wrinkles and sagging. In 2010, the British Journal of Dermatology published a groundbreaking study proving that women with an unbalanced pH level in their skin developed abundantly more fine lines and crow’s feet, and more sun damage, and that the general look of their skin was more wrinkled than that of woman with acidic skin.

Important: Ellie Glow’s AHA Prepping Toner does not contain drying alcohol. alcohol dries out the surface of the skin by removing water and stripping ALL of the natural oils from the skin’s surface. More than 95% of all toners, astringents, etc. contain drying alcohol or witch hazel.

EllieGlow pH Balancing AHA Prepping Toner will: Restore your skin’s pH balance: Skin is naturally acidic, typically with a pH balance of between 5.0 and 6.0 on a pH scale from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. pH balance can get out of whack from active living, sun exposure, environmental factors, or the like. When this happens, skin needs to work overtime to return to its normal levels and that may result in oil secretion leading to larger pores, blackheads and pimples, and in extreme cases, acne. Using EllieGlow pH Balancing AHA Prepping Toner can help restore this vital pH balance quickly.

Refresh and cleanse away surface skin cells: EllieGlow pH Balancing AHA Prepping Toner can also be used when skin is oily or dirty. Spray liberally and wipe clean with a cotton pad. It will leave skin revitalized even when you’re on the go or too tired or rushed to complete your regular beauty routine.

Add a layer of protection: Daily use can help close pores and tighten cell gaps after cleansing and/or exfoliating. This is critical in reducing the penetration of impurities and environmental contaminants into the skin. Regular use can reduce pore size and lead to a firmer and younger looking complexion.

Act like a combination toner/moisturizer: EllieGlow pH Balancing AHA Prepping Toner’s primary active ingredientsare acid-based exfoliants and humectants, which help to bind moisture to fresh skin cells.

Prepares skin for hydration: pH balance is important for moisturizers and serums to work efficiently. Spritzing then immediately moisturizing accomplishes three things:

1. Use less product because the EllieGlow pH Balancing AHA Prepping Toner already ‘pre-moisturized’ and prepped your skin.
2. Day and Night creams, as well as serums and Self-Tanning products will glide on more smoothly and evenly, and all your skin care products will work more effectively at the correct pH levels

How to Use/Application Instructions

Directions for using the ReBalance pH Toner:

Consistent use of the pH Balancing Toner can help prepare your skin for better absorption of subsequent skincare products while maintaining balanced pH levels and promoting a smoother, healthier complexion.

Cleanse: Begin by cleansing your face thoroughly using your preferred cleanser.

Apply Toner: After cleansing, pour a small amount of the pH Balancing Toner onto a cotton pad or into the palm of your hand.

Application: Gently swipe or pat the toner onto your face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Ensure even coverage.

Let it Absorb: Allow the toner to absorb into your skin. Do not rinse it off.

Follow with the rest of your EllieGlow Skincare Routine: Continue with your regular skincare regimen, applying serums, moisturizers, or other treatments as needed.

Frequency: Use the Balance pH Toner in your skincare routine morning and night for best results.

Sun Protection: Always follow up with sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.

Storage: Store the toner in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.

Tips: Use after cleansing before serums to supercharge your serum’s powerful results. Use to give your skin a quick refresher after workouts or on the go. Use before bed when you are just too tired for a full cleansing routine. Always use a soft cotton pad with AHA LemonGrass Toner and not cotton balls; cotton balls tend to be synthetic and may cause tiny dermabrasions because they are ‘scratchy’. Close your eyes to avoid contact with eyes and liberally apply to a cotton pad to wipe onto your face and neck. Gently wipe this over your face removing all traces of old skin cells, dirt, makeup to ‘freshen’ and tone the rest of your face.
