Cedarwood Facial Scrub

Description

This facial scrub is a delicate blend of unrefined sea salt (Soil Association certified), UK sourced soothing kaolin clay and gentle, woody, organic cedarwood essential oil. The fine grain salt gently exfoliates the skin – we use fine grain sea salt for a gentle exfoliant compared to course sea salt which tends to be abrasive. The kaolin clay is soothes and extracts impurities.

Kaolin clay is a mineral rich, light clay and extremely soft in texture. Kaolin gets its name due to the clay first being taken from the hills in Gaoling, China. Kaolin can come in slightly different shades of white – sometimes pink or greenish but the whiter the clay, the purer it is. With its neutral Ph, kaolin does not dry your skin out. However it still has powerful and beneficial properties with its ability to gently extract impurities making it ideal for tackling spots and acne and also removing excess oil from the skin. Not only does this soft clay cleanse the skin without irritation, it also soothes inflammation.

Cedarwood essential oil is naturally antiseptic, antimicrobial and antifungal and an astringent, rendering it ideal for skin conditions such as eczema and spot prone skin. Abundant in anti-inflammatory compounds, cedarwood is excellent for calming the skin. If you’re having trouble sleeping, then cedarwood can come to the rescue with its ability to relax and sedate the body. The ideal time to exfoliate the face is in the evening so why not use this before bed to aid a good night’s sleep too.
