Toning your Skin with Solvaderm

Toning your skin may not currently be part of your skin care routine but it is an important step that you shouldn’t be missing! Having a strong skin care routine should consist of a cleanser, toner, moisturizer, and any special treatments that your skin may require. Toning is often overlooked in that process but they should be part of your everyday routine. Toners are products that help cleanse your skin while returning to a normal pH that was disturbed while you cleansed with your cleanser. Finding the right toner isn’t a difficult process. Solvaderm makes a great toner that we will review later in this article.

Benefits of a Toner

Restores pH balance – When you cleanse your skin as part of your daily skin care routine you are disturbing the pH balance of your skin. Disturbing this pH will force your skin to work extra hard to repair itself and this can lead to the production of excess oil which can of course lead to acne and blemishes.

Shrinks pores to protect skin – The use of toner can help your pores shrunken a bit which will help protect your skin from impurities like environmental pollutants and the bacteria that can cause blemishes.

Freshen and soothe – Toners can actually work to refresh skin by locking in moisture and hydrating the skin if they contain certain humectants.

Prevent irritation and ingrown hairs – Toners that include alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) can actually prevent the irritation caused by shaving so toning is super important for men. Aftershaves are often really just a toner masked in a ‘masculine’ bottle.

You should be choosing the right toner based on your skin type. Like cleansers and moisturizers, toners come in all ‘shapes and sizes’ so it’s important to choose the toner that has been specially formulated for the skin that you have. If you have dry skin you want to make sure that you are choosing a toner that will not cause excess drying and irritation rather it should add moisture and contain humectants. If you have oily skin that is acne prone you would be choosing a toner that works as a toner that is formulated to help remove excess oil and makeup. While alcohol is drying it can help remove the bacteria that causes blemishes.

The good news is that there is a great toner available by the leading skin care brand Solvaderm. Maxatone is a daily purifying facial toner that removes skin-dulling impurities without harsh or drying ingredients. Maxatone can help remove oil and dirt from deep within your pores to help fight blemishes without stripping your skin of essential moisture. This nourishing toner works for almost any skin type and will not leave your skin feeling tight or deprived of moisture.

How Hormones Can Play Havoc With Your Skin by Solvaderm?

From pregnancy and childbirth to medical disorders, fluctuating hormone levels in the body can spell disaster for your skin. The decline in the production of certain hormones contributes to the ageing process and, while some are a requirement to aid cell renewal, others in excess can cause damage. The Endocrine system is the body's collection of glands that secrete hormones, regulates our metabolisms and facilitates tissue growth and development. As such it is responsible for, amongst other things, the quality of our skin. Here's Solvaderm's guide to the Endocrine system, how it works and its role in your skin's health.

Slow to Change

Some systems in the body, such as the circulatory system, have an immediate effect on the organs they reach. For example, increased blood flow to the skin causes redness and perspiration which clears out toxins making skin look fresher. Hormones, on the other hand, work at a cellular level, therefore, changes take longer to appear. This slow action is one of the reasons why effective regulation is so important. When everything is functioning correctly, the Endocrine system works to produce and convert hormones so that each organ of the body receives the amount it requires at any given time. When changes occur which are caused by the natural life cycle or by part of the body's system malfunctioning this process is disrupted. This is why if we are under stress it is only weeks or months later that it becomes apparent in our skin.

Natural Processes

While women are subject to hormonal changes that affect their skin throughout their life, there are three instances that cause dramatic fluctuations in the hormone estrogen starting with puberty where the increase in production can lead to oily skin and acne. During pregnancy, the increase in estrogen results in glowing skin and hair, however the dramatic decline postpartum can result in hair loss and a dry and tired skin. As the presence of estrogen increases the production of hyaluronic acid, the substance that gives skin its plump, youthfulness, it is only natural that its decline towards and during menopause will result in dry skin and a loss of elasticity. This is why richer moisturizers are required as we age.

Systemic Upsets

Besides the natural hormonal fluctuations that accompany the reproductive cycle, there are other changes that can occur as a result of things going awry with glands in the body that can affect the skin. One of the most common, particularly after the age of 40, is a malfunctioning thyroid gland. While there are a number of thyroid conditions and they can affect both sexes, the majority of cases of autoimmune thyroiditis, or Hashimoto’s disease, occur in women. Caused when the thyroid malfunctions and attacks itself, the result is a reduction in the gland’s output of thyroxine. This hormone is crucial for the body’s metabolism to function effectively and reduced levels can cause severe skin dryness.

While hormonal changes are a part and parcel of our body’s mechanisms, Solvaderm recommend that any changes in skin care that cause concern are seen by a healthcare professional.
