FAQs
What is HEAL Toner Mist?
Facial mist is a toner that removes any last traces of dirt, grime and impurities stuck in your pores after cleansing. It also restores your skin's pH level, smooths skin by refining rough patches and improves skin tone.
Is it necessary to use a toner?
Not at all, however it is a wonderful additive to a skin care regimen, especially for those that struggle with oily skin or clogged pores. Our facial toner acts as a humectant, which means it attracts moisture.
I have sensitive skin, can I use it?
Absolutely! Our toner mist is made for all skin types as it contains moisturizing ingredients like glycerin and licorice root extract. Gentle is key for sensitive skin. Avoid toners that contain alcohol as they can be very drying and irritating (even if you have oily skin), so it's best to steer clear of these If you have oily skin or prone to acne, you will especially benefit from HEAL toner mist as it goes an the extra mile to clean out pores.
