The Rehydrating Toner is non-drying and non-alcoholic containing natural Aloe. It contains plant extracts such as witch hazel for toning and collagen for cell conditioning. It removes traces of cleanser impuritites and dead cells and it definitely reduces pore size. Personally, I hadn’t noticed that myself as I was more worried about getting rid of my acne right away. But when people started telling me my face was getting better and my pores were getting smaller, I thought “its just another benefit of the toner……Amazing!!” and that’s when I started noticing too.

I know there’s toners out there on in the market and the main reason for them is to reduce the size of your pores but do they really? Like I said I didn’t really notice it but its when people start telling you that you realise it works .

Now, notice that this is the 5th step of the regime but only if you do the Deep-Cleansing Exfoliator (step 3) and the Marine Mask (step 4) on that same morning/night. I’ve mentioned on their individual blogs that I recommend them to be used about 2-3 times a week NOT everyday. Which means when you don’t do step 3 and 4 on the day, the Rehydrating Toner comes after the Aloe Activator (step 2). You’re probably thinking “that is so confusing…..how do I keep up?” To be honest its not so difficult once you make it a habit. Its just a matter of getting the hang of it .

Like always, there’s a video to explain how I use it and what it does. Don’t forget the packaging on the video for the toner is different to what it is now but it contains exactly the same . Until the next blog peeps!

See you soon everyone!

Skin Hydration

Skin contains 60-70% water of the whole body but its moisture content decreases with age. In fact, the outer horny layer has the ability to retain moisture for preventing evaporation, but its function is affected by metabolism and unstable skin condition.

Skin metabolism normally takes 28 days. For healthy skin, new cells always replaced old ones to keep it at optimal condition. However, due to work pressure, environmental pollution and poor eating habits, etc., abnormal metabolism cycle causes new skin not to form and old skin to accumulate, which affect the horny layer’s ability to retain moisture.

When old horny layer accumulates on skin, it is hard for moisture to penetrate, resulting in problems such as coarse and dull skin as well as appearance of fine lines.

Normalize Skin Metabolism

R3 Factor Skin Defense Cream

R3 Factor Skin Defense Creme – contains aloe, soluble collagen andalpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) which facilitate metabolism, rejuvenate, and renew skin. By R3, wemean

Retain – prevent moisture loss for suppleness

Restore – enhance metabolism for resilience

Renew – get rid of old horny layer for skin’s renewal

Soothe and Moisturize skin

Many people misunderstand that replenishing moisture is equal to replenishing water. Dryness of skin takes place not only because of moisture loss but also due to insufficient secretions from sebaceous gland. This is why we need to replenish both moisture and lipids to make skin soft and supple.

Rehydrating Toner

Rehydrating Toner – contains aloe and witch hazelwhich can soothe skin, restore its pH  balance, repair damaged horny layer to enhanceits moisture retaining ability, and aid in absorption ofnutrients from skin care products.

Form a Protective Layer

Marine Mask – contains honey which is a strong water-solublemoisturizer that effectively retains moisture to softenskin. The natural amino acids found in honey will form a protective layer on the epidermis to prevent dehydration. Besides,aloe vera, cucumber extract, sea minerals such as sea kelp and algae found in Marine Mask provide the skin with vitamins, minerals, and amino acids to make it healthier and increase the ability to retain moisture.

Fortified with Lipid

Forever Alpha E- Factor

Forever Alpha-E-Factor -contains borage seed oil which providesthe skin with gamma linoleic acid (an essential fatty acid), replenishing lipid loss. As it has outstandingpenetration ability, it can intensively moisturize skin. Besides, it also contains strong antioxidants vitamin A, C and E which cancounter the damage to skin caused by free radicals.

Recovering Night Cream

Recovering Night Crème is rich in apricot kernel oil and wheat germ glycerides which are similar to natural lipid and can replenish lipid loss; polysaccharides and other skin humectants form a protective film against moisture loss and maintain water/oil balance.

Aloe Vera Gelly – contains aloe vera gel which hasstrong ability to replenish water, plus  glycerin and allantoin.

Forever Alluring Eyes

FOREVER AlluRing EyEs – contains stabilized aloe vera gel, squalane andvitamin E which moisturize skin around eyes; sodiumhyaluronate can increase the horny layer’s ability to storewater which ensures skin’s suppleness and elasticity at all  times.

Skin Care Tips

• 10pm to 4am is the best time for skin to repair daily damages as well as to absorb nourishing ingredients.
• Don’t forget to  pamper  your lips and body skin; otherwise the  horny layers will thicken.
• We should give special  care to  skin around eyes as it secretes fewer lipids.
• Don’t wash your face with hot water as it will speed up  lipid loss.
• Drink at  least 8   glasses  of water per day to replenish moisture.
• Apply moisturizing cream and replenish  water instead of scratching when skin feels itchy.
• Put a glass of water on  the desk to increase the humidity of the air-conditioned office so as to avoid skin dryness.
