Winter is quickly approaching, and as much as we enjoy cozy sweaters, cocoa by the fire, and snowflakes on our eyelashes, we don’t love the toll cold weather can have on our skin. Dry air can zap moisture, leaving skin looking dull and dry. Guard against dehydrated skin and regain that youthful glow by introducing a toning essence to your winter skincare regime. Trust me- it will become a year-round favorite!
Do You Really Need a Toning Essence?
Too often, the word “toner” is associated with alcohol-based astringents of the past and this mindset feeds the misconception that they are only suited for oily or acne-prone skin. Perhaps this explains why many skin care brands are moving away from the use of the word toner and are instead using product names like facial mists, toning lotions or, in the case of Luzern, The Essence.
Designed as one of the early steps in your skincare routine, toning essences refresh, replenish, and prep skin to get maximum results from serums and moisturizers that follow. Today’s toning essences have come a long way from their early astringent days, now packed with hydrating and balancing ingredients to treat, soothe, and address a variety of skincare conditions.
L’Essentials The Essence
Luzern’s L’Essentials The Essence is loaded with replenishing Bio-Suisse extracts, ceramides and natural moisture factors that instantly absorb into the skin to prep, tone and hydrate. This weightless, alcohol-free toning essence plumps skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles caused by dehydrated skin. Hyaluronic acid penetrates deeply and quickly to lock in moisture, and polyose provides and optimal and immediate lifting effect for a firmer, smoother appearance.
How To Use Toning Essences
- After cleansing, mist a few pumps of The Essence onto your face, or into the palm of your hand.
- Apply by gently pressing into the face and neck, moving outward from the center.
- Use morning and evening, after cleansing and before serums and moisturizers. No rinsing is necessary.
- Follow with the Serum Absolut treatment and Luzern moisturizer that benefit your current skincare needs.
Believe in Clean
Luzern products are free from irritating and toxic additives such as parabens, phthalates, benzoyl peroxide and sodium laurel sulfate that can cause skin inflammation and contribute to early signs of aging. One of the primary reasons Luzern products get such excellent results is the effort we take to eliminate damaging chemicals, while still delivering exceptionally high levels of beneficial active ingredients. In much the same way that a healthy diet leads to a healthier, more beautiful body, a daily regimen of Luzern products leads to a healthier, more beautiful complexion.
