What are tonics?

In our usual facial care routine, we cleanse, exfoliate and then moisturize our skin without thinking about toning it. However, toners are an essential element for strengthening our skin and thus keeping it healthy.

Their composition

Some tonics are made from water. Idoine tonics are entirely designed based on carefully selected hydrosols. They thus provide undeniable benefits on mature, combination and sensitive skin:

The Damascus Rose and Labrador Tea hydrosols contained in the anti-wrinkle tonic have anti-aging properties.
The Orange Blossom and Rosemary Verbenone hydrosols contained in the combination skin toner help to tighten the pores of the skin.
The Lavender and Noble Chamomile hydrosols contained in the sensitive skin tonic strengthen fragile skin.


Their usefulness

Chlorine and minerals found in tap water are substances that can dry out the skin. It is essential to avoid their penetration into the epidermis. Idoine tonics are an excellent barrier that prevents dehydration of the upper layer of the epidermis.

The hydrosols present in our toners restore the skin's protective mechanism, thus making it less sensitive to external aggressions. They maximize the effect of the different ingredients contained in our creams and serum and thus allow you to save a certain amount of product.

Additionally, if you use a high pH facial cleanser, using a toner after rinsing your skin will help rebalance its natural pH.

These are good reasons to now tone and moisturize your skin morning and evening.

WARNING: These properties, indications and methods of use are taken from reference books or websites in aromatherapy, hydrolate therapy, phytotherapy and others. We find these indications regularly and, for many, they are confirmed by observations from the scientific community. However, these indications are given for information purposes; they cannot in any way constitute medical information and in no way engage our direct or indirect liability.
