This 2-in-1 scrub & mask is a synergetic cocktail of nutrient-rich raw honey, flowers, & fruit to gently exfoliate & renew dull, lackluster skin. As the mask sits, rosehip & acai deliver potent antioxidants & vitamins that combat environmental stress & reveal a brighter, firmer, glowing complexion. While most will benefit from this mud, it's an absolute must for those experiencing clogged pores, hyperpigmentation or loss of elasticity.
Skin Benefits:
Brightening: Formulated with Camu Camu for its high Vitamin C content to help even the complexion and help brighten.
Exfoliating: The natural AHA's & enzymatic exfoliants in the sugar extract, hibiscus, & pumpkin work to remove dead skin cells & increase circulation.
Hydrating & Soothing: Colloidal oats, raw honey & aloe vera improve skin hydration & calm the skin.
Youth preserving: Hibiscus, the "botox" plant, is high in AHAs which promote cell renewal & improve elasticity. Açaí helps nourish skin to prevent signs of premature aging.
Good to Know:
This mask may arrive in a near liquid state or a more solid paste. A more solid state simply means that the raw honey in the mask contains a higher level of glucose! Glucose, when applied topically on the skin, has shown to help reduce inflammation (that's a good thing!). Whichever texture your mask arrives in, it is fresh & will be effective. To thin the mask, simply set the jar in a bowl of freshly boiled (not boiling) water for 10-15 minutes. This will help soften the mud, which can then be mixed with a clean & sturdy utensil.
