What to look for in a toning lotion

The key to finding a quality skin firming lotion is to know what to look for in the ingredients. Sarfati suggests looking for products with Ascophyllum Nodosum seaweed, which protects skin from environmental pollutants while reducing skin inflammation, caffeine which stimulates the skin and Coenzyme-A which has been shown to help increase the body’s own enzymes responsible for degrading fat. Rule of thumb: Avoid toning lotions that include mineral oil, which is an occlusive ingredient that will prevent the body and skin from breathing.
