The Purpose of a Toner

I ask this question at almost every spa party because I think toners have gotten a bad rap over the years and also people don't really know what they are for. It's really easy actually once you know.

Our toners are meant to be misted onto your face after cleansing and before moisturizing. You can use a cotton ball and swipe it over your face but personally I feel it is a waste of a cotton ball. If you are using a toner now that contains alcohol or your cotton ball is dark/black after using your toner ... please don't use it anymore. It is probably too harsh on your skin. A good cleanser should remove all dirt and debris from your skin so if anything is still on your face then you need to use a good Eye Makeup Remover and/or cleanse your skin again.

So, what is the purpose of a toner? To balance the PH of your skin and to prepare your skin for moisturizer. Any cleanser will change the PH of your skin in order to get it clean and you will notice that by using our toners you will need to use very little moisturizer after. Let me know what you think!

More Uses for Freshing Mist

This tip came from another rep who was at a team meeting a few months ago. It just stuck in my head and I thought it was time to share! If I got the story wrong then please correct me! I recall that she was walking past someone's office when she saw a bottle of Sensaria's Freshening Mist sitting in her window. She knocked on the door and asked her about it and why it was in her office instead of her bathroom. Well, it turns out that the lady used it for an air freshener for her office! You can't burn candles or have heavily scented products in an office environment and she just loved the clean, citrus smell that the mist had. I thought that was a clever use of the product especially since that bottle lasts way longer than the rest of the skin care products!

You also may have read my previous tip about "Freshening Mist Treats Diaper Rash" and I have now started using it to freshen up my daughter's room after a poopy diaper! I have also used it in the diaper pail and in her stinky shoes too! It is a great multipurpose product that you can use in more places than just your face. Did you know that you can use the Freshening Mist for setting your makeup or as a quick pick me up in the middle of the afternoon? It is really refreshing especially on a hot day or in a stuffy office. It hydrates your skin and the scent is a nice refresher too. Let me know what your favorite use is for this product!

A Sensaria Facelift

Today's tip comes from Nancy who is a super fabulous Sensaria Rep! It was featured in one of our weekly newsletters so now I am sharing it with you! This tip is a way for you get a "Sensaria Facelift" and it takes just a few minutes over a 2-day period. Your skin will feel so refreshed and tightened that you will be oohing and ahhing over the results. Let me know if you try it and what the results were for you!

DAY ONE: Start with the Microdermabrasion Creme as directed. That means gently massaging a 1/2 teaspoon of the product on your skin for about 2 minutes. The super gentle microdermabrasion crystals will sluff off dead skin and other impurities. Plus the massage helps promote the new generation of collagen in your skin which gives you that youthful glow. This product is even more effective when used with the Clarisonic face cleansing brush!

DAY TWO: Wash, tone, and apply a thick layer of Sea Silk Mask. Take your Freshening Mist or Toning Mist and go relax for a while. Read a book or watch TV or lay on your bed for a few minutes. Mist your skin with toner every 4-5 minutes to keep the mask moist. After 15-20 minutes, gently remove the mask and finish with your regular skincare program.

Sounds easy and relaxing doesn't it? Why not try it today or this weekend?

Freshening Mist Treats Diaper Rash

I love Sensaria's Freshening Mist for many, many reasons but the one reason that some people might not be aware of is that I like using it for treating diaper rashes! Now, it doesn't really work on those nasty ones that my son used to get when he ate something he was allergic to. Those needed a heavy duty triple butt cream but it hurt him so much to put it on. I like using the Freshening Mist on a daily basis or any time I am changing a diaper and see the slightest hint of redness. Poof! The next time I change a diaper the redness is entirely gone. I like that I don't have to touch some messy paste and smear it on a red baby bottom. Instead, one or two sprays and it is actually quite soothing too. It surprised my daughter at first but now she kind of giggles when I squirt it on her.
