MUD mini - alpha hydroxy acid - acne, anti-aging, sloughing treatment - vegan and organic

Description

||Vegan and Organic||

Made using organic ground coffee beans, this scrub is sure to improve the appearance of your skin by removing dead skin cells, increasing the synthesis of mucopolysaccharides and collagen, and skin thickness (which gives a more youthful appearance). Coffee, which is a cell detoxifier, helps speed up cell metabolism and smooths the skin. Use on face and any other areas where you want to remove dead skin cells or cellulite.

Recommended usage: one week a month or once a week regularly. (I use it every morning, however, and love it!)

Used correctly, alpha hydroxy acids do not increase sun sensitivity. Sun sensitivity occurs when skin is irritated and inflammation occurs. Those with very fair coloring are especially susceptible to this since their skin tends to be more sensitive. Use of a non-irritating AHA such as mandelic acid, lactic acid, or gluconic acid will help one avoid this problem. Some, such as gluconolactone, malic acid, and tartaric acid actually have natural antioxidant properties that will help protect against free radical damage caused by the sun.

Sensitive Skin

The pH of this product is 4-5, which is considered safe for sensitive skin. (A lower pH (below 3.5) has a much higher probability of causing irritation in the skin). I still advise individuals with sensitive do a "patch test" before using regularly, which means applying the product to a patch of skin and testing for any reaction. I have very sensitive skin and haven't experienced any irritation, etc. from this product, and I use it once a day, one week a month or more (I love how it feels!).

Note: packaging has changed. Now packaged in a white, double wall, 2 oz. PET jar.
