Double Duty Face Polish & Mask
Safe for daily use, even on sensitive skin, this polish harnesses all natural ingredients to gently remove impurities and exfoliate your skin. Only six simple ingredients make up this multitasking polish and contributes to its earthy scent.
Shiro Nuka is the powdered germ plus the inner bran layer of Japanese rice, which women in Japan have been using for centuries as a gentle, micronized exfoliant to visibly brighten and balance uneven skin tone without causing damage to the skin.
Kaolin clay is a natural mineral clay that gently detoxifies and balances the skin, giving it a clearer, brighter appearance.
Baobab powder is rich in antioxidants but it also has more vitamin C than most other fruits while being gentle enough for everyday use.
White willow bark powder contains a natural form of salicylic acid which is a type of beta hydroxy acid (BHA) found in the bark of the willow tree. This natural form of BHA works to gently exfoliate dead skin cells, unclog pores and reduce the appearance of blemishes and blackheads.
Goat's milk powder has the same pH as your skin and contains the highest concentration of lactoferrin compared to bovine or sheep's milk. Lactoferrin contains many beneficial properties including antibacterial and antioxidant actions. Additionally, the lactic acid in goat's milk is a type of alfa hydroxy acid (AHA) known to gently exfoliate the skin; however, boosting collagen, correcting discoloration, improving the appearance of fine lines, and brightening your skin, are other aha skin benefits, too. However, this form of AHA is gentle enough for sensitive skin and also increases the production of natural ceramides to help protect your skin's barrier function.
Coconut milk powder is packed with nutrients like potassium, folate, and vitamins C, E, and B, adding moisturizing and antioxidant benefits. It will also pull out oil, balance sebum, and soften the skin.
How to Use
I prefer to use it alone in the morning to help remove excess oil, purify, and refresh skin before applying daily skincare and makeup. It can also be used as part of your night time routine after removing your make-up with a first cleansing. Can be used once a day for as many day's as your skin will tolerate. Never over exfoliate and always wear sunscreen!
As a cleansing polish on clean skin: Dampen face with warm water. Tap out a quarter-sized amount in your palm and mix with warm water, your favorite toner or essence, or micellar water until the consistency is smooth and spreadable. Massage gently into your face for 15-30 seconds focusing on the T-Zone and areas where dead skin has accumulated. Rinse off with warm water.
As a purifying mask: After following step one, leave on for 2-20 minutes, then rinse.
