Apples & Oranges ... Not So Different When Used in Skin Care

You've heard of the phrase "apples and oranges" when describing two people or two situations that are completely different. But here at Living Jungle, we have found that the combination of apple and orange extracts in our WhiteSynergy Effect skin care products has more things in common.

Both apples and oranges are rich in Vitamin C. According to David Wolfe, nutrition expert and author as per health.com, the cell production of skin can be speed up with the use of Vitamin C. This is crucial in making your skin look radiant. Wolfe also said that Vitamin C strengthens your hair and nails. Apart from that, other vitamins in apples such as B5 and B9 can help fight acne and skin irritation. According to livestrong.com, Vitamin C in oranges can enrich the hydration of your skin, resulting in a youthful appearance as wrinkles are reduced.

We mentioned that apples can help curb acne and skin irritation. Well, the properties in oranges can do the same as well. Vitamin A, for example, according to the National Institutes of Health as per livestrong.com, is used in acne treatment. The appearance of pimples, or swelling of the skin, can be lowered with Vitamin C in oranges. Acne is prevented when dead skin cells are removed and pores are cleansed with Vitamin C as an ingredient in your skin care. This is because the citric acid in oranges are part of the chemical group alpha hydroxyl acids, which work well in exfoliating the skin.

The Importance of Toners as Part of Your Skin Care Regimen

According to paulaschoice.com, your skin can look younger, fresher and smoother, with the right kind of toner when used after cleansing and throughout the day.

But, what's the right kind of toner? 

There are 3 types of toner:

1. Toners with alcohol-based ingredients such as witch hazel. Another type of toner known as astringents are also alcohol-based. Alcohol-based toners and astringents are only suitable for normal, oily or non-sensitive skin types. 

2. Toners that have water and glycerin or glycol-based formulas. Such toners are typically added with fragrant extracts like citrus fruits or rose water. Some people may have a reaction to these types of toners due to the addition of fragrant ingredients.

3. Toners with water-based formulas that include elements such as anti-oxidants, skin-repairing substances and cell communicating ingredients. 

Living Jungle's WhiteSynergy Effect Clear Lotion falls under the second type of toner. However, it has 7 key natural active ingredients that include licorice root, rice bran, aloe vera, green tea leaf, orange and apple stem cells, and diamond powder. It is not overpoweringly fragrant, thus it is mild. Check it out at Living Jungle's Brand Street page at Dinasou.com.
