Facial scrub
Do you know why we scrub our face? Facial scrubs are used to clean the dead skin cells on the surface layer of our skin to encourage new skin cells. We complement them with astringent herbs or toners to remove the excess oils from the skin. After washing the face, use this facial scrub to remove ant residual cleanser and to tone the skin before moisturizing. This can be used with all skin types that can benefit with the pore tightening effects of these toning herbs.
Astringent herbs you can use :
- Sage
- Yarrow
- Chamomile
- Lavender
