SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., May 20, 2003—Now that the hot, humid weather is under way, whose skin couldn’t use a little protection from the heat? DHC Micro Skin Water is just the solution for dry, dehydrated skin. This quenching toner, made with natural extracts of purifying green tea, thyme, and houttuynia cordata, instantly hydrates while also detoxifying skin and fighting the impurities that can lead to blemishes and other skin irritations. Fashioned with a unique misting nozzle, it provides your skin with cool refreshment in the summer heat.

Used regularly, Micro Skin Water delivers moisture to the upper layers of your skin, helping it to stay soft and supple and better resist the damage caused by skin dryness. Micro Skin Water will be available at a special price of $8.00 for 2.2 oz. Net wt. through July 31, 2003, and thereafter at its regular price of $12.00.

“Micro Skin Water doubles as a toner and instant skin refresher and is made with nourishing botanical ingredients to improve the condition of your skin. It’s light and portable, and its misting nozzle makes it easy to use. It’s a perfect carry-on item for travelers or other women and men on the go,” says Gary Gauntt, President of DHC USA Inc.
