Great for mature, hormone challenged and barrier disrupted skin. Brightens age spots and fades pigmentation.
RITUAL
Use mornings for an all day face glow. I love doing this before my morning shower, on dry skin. Massage a hazelnut-size amount of RESURFACE POLISHING MOUSSE all over your face with your fingertips until you feel the gentle polishing action of the fruit powders. I massage for about 2 minutes. Wash off with plenty of warm water, and/or wipe residue off with a damp warm cloth. Because this is a waterless composition, your face will feel dewy, glowing and moisturised. Finish with a spritz of your favourite hydrosol (I love GLOW WHITE ROSE ROSE/SANDALWOOD MINERAL WATER and apply your a face oil you love.

ABOUT WHOLE PLANT EXTRACTS
All our extracts are made by sun-infusing whole plant material into early harvest virgin cold pressed biodynamic Olive oil. First harvest, unripe Olives yield a beautifully nutrient oil with spectacularly high phenolic content, which stabilises and naturally preserves not only our extracts but also our skin.
In this ancient method of bioactive botanical extraction, we co-infuse all the compositions botanicals together, so they commune and synergise, enhancing each other's potency and bioavailablity.
Each plant component has a specific purpose that is intrinsically linked to other compounds. There is massive evidence now that synergistic whole plant extracts are much more powerful than isolated, single components.
