Description
The Alpha-Hydroxy Fruit Acid Toners in the Gaia Organics range are important for their synergistic way of working with cleansing and moisturising. The toners help to remove the top layer of skin, which is important for anti-aging and skin clarity. The toners also have anti-inflammatory properties and help to balance oil production. The toners maintain the skin's pH level and contain essential oils that are beneficial for skin health.
GAIA PIONEERS THE USE OF FRUIT ACIDS WHY ARE THEY SO IMPORTANT?
The Alpha-Hydroxy Fruit Acid Toners form a vital part of the synergistic way in the way the range has been formulated. It is essential that for each skin type, the relevant toner is used in conjuction with cleansing and moisturising. The Gaia range of toners will not leave the skin feeling dry and taught. The main purpose of the toners are to allow the top dead layer of skin to be sloughed off in a natural and unharmful way. The toners act as an exfoliant gently removing the top layer of skin and enhancing new cellular regeneration. Our unique blend of fruit acids (AHAs), essential oils and herbal extracts combine to assist in achieving the following benefits:
clearer, smoother skin anti aging by stimulating collagen and elastin naturally balancing oil production allowing moisturisers to adhere better continuing the cleansing process restoring the pH level of your skin after cleansing AND providing antioxidants.
Gaia's Green range for Problematic & spot Prone Skin
Improves Moisturisation: Removal of the dead skin build up, or cellular debris improves skin texture. The smoother skin in turn can boost the effectiveness, absorption, and adhesion of your moisturiser. To support the moisturising effect of the AHAs, is a combination of natural emollients and plant extracts. Balances Oil Production: Removal of dead skin cells allows normal oil production to resume. Essential oils are also used to assist in balancing sebum production. Soothes: A mix of natural anti-inflammatories ensure a soothing, calming toner. Maintains the skins pH: The skin has a level of acidity of about pH 4 to 5.5. In addition to helping protect skin from the elements (such as wind or pollutants), this acid mantle ,as it is known, inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria and fungi. Loss of acidity causes the skin becomes more prone to damage and infection. Over washing or using cleansers that are too strong can result in the loss of the acid mantle.
