Mud & Charcoal Polishing Masque

A multitasking, mud-based polishing masque fortified with 5 exfoliating acids, natural micrograins, and Activated Charcoal to purify, exfoliate, and improve the skin’s texture as it polishes away impurities and pore-dwelling environmental pollutants

Actions

• Black Mud softens surface lines, minimizes enlarged pores, and revives nutrient and moisture-depleted barrier renewing youthful softness and clarity 
• Charcoal detoxifies pore-dwelling environmental pollutants, clearing impurities 
• Exfoliating acids combine to refine uneven and congested surfaces to an ultra-smooth texture
• Volcanic Microcrystals and invigorating micro grains quickly polish away environmental pore cloggers, discouraging breakouts

Facial Procedure

Apply an even layer over clean, moist skin prior to extraction process, and leave on for up to 5 minutes. For more aggressive resurfacing, use dry fingertips to massage in upward circular motion for 30-60 seconds, paying particular attention to enlarged pores, dry areas or congestions. Moisten fingertips and massage for additional 60 seconds for optional physical exfoliation prior to removal. Rinse with tepid water. May use steam during manual exfoliation massage.

Gommage

Mud & Charocal Polishing Masque can also be gommaged off the skin. Do not moisten the skin when using the product in this way. With dry fingertips, apply moderate amount (about 1/2 tsp.) of polish on the area to be treated and leave on for 1-2 minutes, then gently stroke polish off skin until it completely rolls away. Rinse well with warm water.
