Therapeutic Facial Scrub - Oil Cleansing Method With Muscles

Description

You spoke, I listened! This is the first product I'm rolling out, designed based on feedback from anonymous testers via my blog. I created this facial scrub as a special request from a customer. She absolutely loved it, but I wanted to make sure others would enjoy it as much as she did. So I ran a special trial on my blog, seeking anonymous testers for my newest facial product. Based on their feedback, I have adjusted my formula to create something truly special. It might be relevant to mention that I am a science teacher by day, so I absolutely swoon over hard data. (-; So, without further ado...

This one is a facial scrub. Not a soap this time, but more like a sugar scrub specially designed just for your face. I've been playing around with the Oil Cleansing Method, which works amazingly for my *ahem* aging (yet acne-prone) skin. Love the oils - so gentle and pure! But some days are, you know, just dirtier than others. Like the days when you play in the dirt and fallen leaves with your kids. Or spend 2 hours brushing the dog. Or after 4 days of camping. Or bushwhacking through the woods all day with your 7th graders. Or a day at the zoo when there's a thermal inversion and you feel like you've absorbed a pound of airborne toxins right through your skin. Or four days after sunburning, when your face starts to peel off. On those days, don't you just want to do some scrubbing AND feel moisturized when you are done?

So this one is a scrub made with organic cane sugar (ground extra-fine - my testers requested something a tad gentler), and a combination of skin-loving oils I just love for my face - my home-brewed organic olive oil and calendula infusion, rice bran oil, jojoba oil, and organic sunflower oil. Plus, I added some therapeutic essential oils - lavender and tea tree for their antimicrobial and skin-balancing properties, carrot seed oil and pomegranate oil for their reputed anti-aging effects, and some of my new favorite essential oil - helichrysum. At $200 per ounce, it's by far the most expensive oil I have in my stash, but it is absolutely essential in any skin formulation. It is known for stimulating cell regrowth and healing, minimizing the appearance of scars and bruises, and as a powerful anti-aging oil. And, as a result of the feedback from my testers, I've also added some chamomile and bourbon geranium to soften the antiseptic smell of the carrot seed and pomegranate.

Just take a dab of this exfoliating concoction and work it slowly, in very gentle circles, around your face. Use a hot steamy wash cloth lain across your face to steam the impurities away, then wipe gently with the cloth. Repeat this a couple of times, until your face feels free of sugar. Don't worry if your skin still feels a little oily and slick - it will absorb quite quickly, leaving your face feeling fresh and clean, and richly moisturized.

Please keep in mind that this product is not meant to diagnose, cure, or treat any medical condition. Results may vary depending on your particular skin type. I believe in full disclosure, and will happily share my ingredients, processes, and data with you - you need but ask!

One more thing - please forgive my lack of real photographs - the camera is out of commission until the battery arrives in the mail, but I didn't think that was a great reason to deprive my testers of a full-size jar! Please click the "zoom" button to see a detailed shot of my survey results.
