Gaia Organics – Alpha-hydroxy Fruit Acid Toner: Mature Skin Types

Description

The Alpha-Hydroxy Fruit Acid Toners form a vital part of the synergistic way in the way the range has been formulated. It is essential that for each skin type, the relevant toner is used in conjuction with cleansing and moisturising.

The Gaia range of toners will not leave the skin feeling dry and taught. The main purpose of the toners are to allow the top dead layer of skin to be sloughed off in a natural and unharmful way. The toners act as an exfoliant gently removing the top layer of skin and enhancing new cellular regeneration. Our unique blend of fruit acids (AHAs), essential oils and herbal extracts combine to assist in achieving the following benefits:

• clearer, smoother skin • anti aging by stimulating collagen and elastin naturally • balancing oil production • allowing moisturisers to adhere better • continuing the cleansing process • restoring the pH level of your skin after cleansing AND • providing antioxidants.
