Since the use of soap to wash the face has become “taboo”, we still need to exfoliate 1-2 times weekly to fully reap the benefits of our skin care regimen. Potions has come up with 2 new facial treatments to do just that. Lemon Zest Facial Treatment is good for all skin types and can be used on the more sensitive, or mature skin. Orange Matcha Cleansing Balm, is tailored for those who want a nourishing, all natural make-up remover/cleanser, or for those who suffer from bouts of acne or oily skin problems. Both are formulated with a special blend of ingredients that will clean, exfoliate and treat your skin, leaving it feeling smooth, soft and healthy. From the moment you apply you can feel the grime of the day melt away, while leaving a vitamin packed layer of goodness. As they are rinsed and wiped from the face the beneficial oils will cling to the skin as the exfoliating ingredients and debris are rinsed away. Both treatments are anhydrous, contain no water or unnecessary added ingredients, just 100% all natural goodness, with only a small amount needed per application.
