LY 14b Lotion Tonique

Gone are the Days of Alcohol-based Toners

In the past, toners were primarily alcohol-based and used as astringents to tighten pores and remove excess oil from the skin, giving a firm and squeaky sensation that was commonly linked to a clean face. 

Women with oily skin tend to gravitate towards toners with alcohol as it helps to reduce acne breakouts and unclog pores. They give a quick-drying finish, and immediately degrease skin that many women with oily skin find comforting. 

In reality, these short-term benefits are outweighed by the negative long-term consequences on your skin. It leads to dehydration and damage to the protective skin barrier, leaving the skin vulnerable to contaminants and oxidative damage. Contaminants such as acne-causing bacteria and germs can enter your skin, and oxidative damage from environmental factors (pollution, smoking, free radicals in the air, and UV rays) can cause premature aging, resulting in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and crow's feet.

As alcohol toners suck out the moisture from your skin and strip it of its natural oils, your oil glands go into overdrive by producing even more oil to compensate for the moisture loss. Your objective to combat greasiness is counterproductive.

Alcohol toners also break down your skin barrier and damage the lipids in it. A disrupted skin barrier leads to acne breakouts, inflammation, and a loss of moisture, leaving your skin parched, dry, and thirsty.

“Rose Royce” of All Roses - the Bulgarian Rosa Damascena

LY 14b Lotion Tonique is formulated with premium hydrosol from the “Rose-Royce” of all roses - the Bulgarian Rosa Damascena. It is one of the most popular forms of hydrosol, obtained by steam distillation from the Rosa Damascena, cultivated in Bulgaria.  

The luxurious soothing and purifying sensation you will derive from the Bulgarian Rosa Damascena is unrivaled and incomparable to aqua or alcohol-based toners. The Bulgarian Rosa Damascena hydrosol is a natural non-alcohol astringent, which helps to tighten and tone the skin, leaving it looking refreshed and revitalized. Along with antimicrobial properties, the Bulgarian Rosa Damascena hydrosol adds and retains moisture, making your skin soft and smooth to the touch. Its anti-aging, anti-wrinkle formulation helps fight against free radicals and the effects of environmental aggressors. It also soothes sunburn and reduces skin sensitivity as well as repairs skin tissues. 

With its soft floral aroma, the Bulgarian Rosa Damascena hydrosol also promotes emotional balance and a sense of well-being.

The Positives of Dexpanthenol

Another vital ingredient in LY 14b Lotion Tonique is dexpanthenol. It is beneficial for the skin in a myriad of ways. 

Firstly, dexpanthenol moisturizes and hydrates. It acts as a humectant and emollient that reduces water loss while increasing skin hydration, essential for repairing an impaired skin barrier. Topical dexpanthenol acts like a moisturizer, improving stratum corneum hydration, reducing trans-epidermal water loss, and maintaining skin softness and elasticity. 

Dexpanthenol’s moisturizing properties also reduce inflammation and keep the skin moisturized, It is frequently used to treat minor skin injuries, burns and sunburns, 

Dexpanthenol promotes skin barrier repair by increasing the mobility of proteins and lipids (boosting collagen production) in the outermost layer of the skin, improving its elasticity and firmness. 
Lastly, dexpanthenol promotes the regeneration of skin cells, essential for quick wound healing.

The Beauty of Butylene Glycol

Naturally derived from sugarcane, butylene glycol is a gentle exfoliant that can help to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover, revealing smoother, brighter skin. 

It has humectant properties that attract and bind water, pulling in hydration to the outer layer of the skin, and keeping it hydrated and moisturized. By breaking down hard-to-dissolve active ingredients, butylene glycol improves penetration, helping LY 14b Lotion Tonique to perform more effectively. 

Butylene glycol is also an emollient, coating the skin’s surface by creating a barrier that prevents water loss. Its antimicrobial and moisturizing properties also help treat associated symptoms in acne-prone skin.

Aloe Vera and Glycerin

With its soothing and hydrating properties, aloe vera and glycerin help soothe and keep skin moist.

Chamomile

Widely used in skincare due to its calming and anti-inflammatory properties, chamomile reduces redness and irritation to the skin.
