Your skin is glowing!  Those are the words we all long to hear.

Youthful, fresh, glowing skin is, after all, the most coveted of beauty traits and the key to achieving it is exfoliation.

Throughout the day dead skin cells build up on the surface of our faces which causes the  skin to appear dull, dry and flaky. The best way to get rid of this build-up is to exfoliate. The right exfoilator can minimize pores, remove dead skin cells and even surface imperfections.

Exfoilators can be divided into two basic types

1. Chemical exfoilators which use gentle acids or enzymes to dissolve dead skin cells- think of this as a peel.

2. Mechanical/physical exfoilators which contain grains and  granules that slough of the dead skin cells- these are the types of “scrubs” most people are familiar with.

You really need both types in your skin routine but until now you have had to use them separately.  I discovered a fantastic new Dual Beauty product that is both a physical and an acid exfoilator in one!

Three cheers for double duty products!

Omorovicza Refining Facial Polisher.

What is It: An effective skin polisher featuring the luxurious quality of a mask and the impact of a peel.

What Does it Do: Restores dull, tired skin to its former radiance through a combination of mechanical and chemical exfoliation. Skin becomes smoother and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles are reduced due to the high concentration of lava powder and tropical fruit extracts. It improves the look of UV damage and further protects from sun damage, resulting in clearer, softer, healthier-looking skin.

What’s in It: Hungarian Moor Mud to cleanse, Lactobionic Acid which is a gentle, non-irratating AHA to smooth skin, Lava Powder to physically exfoliate, Microalgae Extract to detoxify cells, Fruit Extracts to plump the skin and Copper Gluconate which is an astringent to help improve problem skin. It also contains the Omorovicza signature healing waters from Budapest that have a high mineral content of copper, zinc, calcium and magnesium and are known for their skin benefits.

How To Use It: Apply a pea-sized amount to skin and rub it in circular motions from the nose outwards- the product will build into a lather and the color will turn to a lighter green. Once applied, leave on skin to set for two minutes- this allows the mud to extract impurities before rinsing off with warm water.

Why I Love it:  The granules are strong enough to get a good exfoliation yet gentle enough not to irritate the skin plus there is no burny feeling like you get from most chemical exfoliators.  Left my skin looking and feeling fresh, smooth and glowing!  I am also a fan of what this product DOESN’T contain!  Like all Omorovicza products, it DOESN”T contain any chemical nasties like parabens, synthetic fragrances or dyes. Love Love Love it!
