4. Milky Hydrating Face Toner with Snow Mushroom and Hyaluronic Acid
This is a super milky, hydrating toner that provides 48H skin hydration. Snow Mushroom is an ancient plant ingredient that acts like a powerful humectant. Molecularly similar to Hyaluronic Acid, but with a smaller particle size that can more easily penetrate the skin’s surface. Hyaluronic Acid is a humectant molecule that draws water into the skin, penetrating the epidermis, to hydrate the skin and give a dewy and plump appearance.
After cleansing, simply apply with cotton pad and sweep across face every each morning and night.

Taken from Thayers’ website:
Dr Marisa Garshick, the dermatologist for THAYERS explains the key benefits, of using THAYER during summer:
Breakouts are a pain – and not just on the face! Adding a toning step to your routine could be the answer, Dr Garshick explains: “Toner can help on the body with breakouts on the back, chest, buttocks and legs. Similar to benefits on the face, toners on the body can help to reduce excess oil and balance the pH, as well as provide added hydration.”
TONE IT DOWN!
Witch Hazel and Aloe is extremely soothing thanks to their anti- inflammatory and antiseptic benefits. Because of this THAYER is perfect to apply post wax or shave. Say goodbye to strawberry legs and irritated skin – plus the cooling feel to skin will help soothe angry redness. “It can be used to help soothe sunburns and bug bites through its anti-inflammatory properties” says Dr Garshick.
DRINK IT UP!
There is no doubt our skin can be gasping for hydration this time of year (looking at you air-con). Taking the THAYER with you on your travels this summer could save your skin. Clinically proven to hydrate for 8hours, plus there is the Milky version for those of you with extra thirsty skin!

THAYER’S RICH HISTORY
A real legacy brand, Thayers Natural Remedies was launched by 21-year-old Dr Henry Thayer in 1843. He practised medicine for a while, before opening his first drug store in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Then, following a series of successful experiments, Thayer started the manufacture of fluid extracts and during the Civil War, his products were in demand for the army and his company, Henry Thayer & Co, quickly became the government’s go-to for a large portion of its hospital supplies. As a result, the brand became the largest manufacturer of pharmaceuticals in America and, over time, Thayer continued to extend his line of herbal extracts. It grew to include over 800 products in the form of infusions, poultices, syrups, tinctures and wines – and amongst the most popular was Witch Hazel Extract, which remains the brand’s most iconic product to date.
Thayers product is formulated with two hero ingredients: Witch Hazel (a flowering plant famed for its medical properties that works to soothe, even and refresh skin) and Aloe Vera (a succulent plant with anti-inflammatory and antiseptic benefits that hydrates, nourishes and promotes healthy they’re all certified cruelty free by Peta.
