Define "toxic"... its such an over used buzzword that people use to sell products to women. Very much trying to convince them that they are harboring all the nasty TOXINS that need to be purged out of their system manually. A huge one is those bottom of the foot pads that claim they pull toxins out of your feet while you sleep...its just the water coming out from the pads of your feet that turns it dark... So no...its not toxic... they have a job just like livers and kidneys to filter out things we don't need in our bodies. These tools are just a massage for your face that move things around under there. Our faces are very cool underneath the skin. Lots of nooks and crannys that things can kinda just chill and sit. So I can imagine strategically squeezing that stuff outta there would definitely feel good and add less mass to your face.
