Stone Crop Hydrating Mist
Even today, most people with dry skin still tend to associate toners with harsh astringents, so they don’t use them. But toners have evolved over time. Today, a more appropriate definition of a toner is anything used to clear impurities like dirt and pollution from the skin. (Yep, these can still linger even after you’ve used your cleanser.) The toners of today have soothing agents to reduce redness and irritation and to hydrate and soothe dry skin,” she says. “Hydrating and soothing toners still help to cleanse the skin further, but without removing the skin’s natural oils. In some cases, they can even help to alleviate dryness and flaking. Buyer, beware. While the definition of a toner has evolved (micellar and rose-water spray are two examples), some toners do still contain alcohol in high or low concentrations. You’ll want to avoid those high concentrations if you have dry skin. Toners that contain soothing and hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, vitamin E, chamomile and antioxidants like green tea. Soothing ingredients like aloe vera, fruit extracts and essential oils will offer the hydration your skin craves. Some ingredients to avoid include salicylic acid and, of course, high concentrations of alcohol, all of which can be further irritating and drying. Need a bit more of that freshly cleansed feeling even after you wash your face? This organic facial mist provides that plus more, since it is also hydrating and soothing for dry skin. And if you’re wondering exactly what stone crop is, imagine an environmentally friendly plant easily grown on green roofs that can moisturize, reduce hyperpigmentation and provide anti-aging benefits to your skin.
