Corn, Olive Oil & Lavender Facial Scrub
Masa & Olive Face Paste
0 Reviews
Description
To the Aztec and the Maya, Corn was a god. Civilizations sprouted out of corn: not the other way around. Exfoliating our faces with Masa & Olive Face Paste can be a meditation on our dependence and collaboration with plants. We recommend Light as a Featha for sensitive skin folks looking for an exfoliant.
2 fl oz
Ritual
Scoop out ½ teaspoon, mix with a little water and massage into the face lightly.. Rinse off with water and towel pat your face dry. Use a spoon to scoop out the scrub to minimize introduction of bacteria. Use once or twice a week for exfoliation and invigoration; your skin will be polished AND nourished.
COVEN TIP! Keep outta the shower or near moisture between uses. For a gentler polish, try our Light as a Featha Cleanser. Shelf Life Lasts 4 months. Store in a cool and dry place. Our products are organic and freshly made-to-order skin food. We do not use toxins that make things last forever.

this is the best ever
Review by juno l. on 15 Feb 2022 review stating this is the best ever
I cannot say enough good things about Balm and Buds tincture with only words—joyous and arms-stretched-out-wide interpretive dance would also be required. What I can say is that I have not had a single cold sore in the two+ years since I was lucky enough to discover this amazing plant medicine. I keep it by my bed, and at the first twinge or tingle… I 💜 Fat and the Moon xxx

Review by Shea J. on 12 Oct 2021 review stating Havent used on the mouth
Havent used on the mouth yet but I've had a recurring ingrown or clogged pore in my nostril that gets really painful and dabbing this tincture on when I feel it coming has helped a lot! Thank you FATM!

Just started using this as a companion to the balm and buds salve, which I've used before — feeling fortified and supported! Calming fragrance, too.

Great!!
Review by Kayla H. on 8 Nov 2020 review stating Great!!
I’m a chronic worrier which we all know only leads to more frequent cold sores, so having this on hand to soothe that anxiety when I convince myself I can feel a tingle coming on has been great. Smells nice, too!

The mild exfoliation of the Masa, along with it's silky starches make it a perfect ingredient to polish away dead skin cells. Lavender adds more soothing properties, while Olive Oil and wax help keep moisture in the skin after you rinse.

Details
This corn-based scrub provides the perfect combination of exfoliating and moisturizing properties. The masa acts as a gentle polisher and stimulator. Olive oil dilutes the pre-existing oils on your skin (like dissolves like) which allows the pore clogging dirt and bacteria to surface and be cleaned away, without stripping your skin of moisture.

FAQ
Currently using earth polish mixed with moon milk a couple times a week but the cold has my nose dry and a bit flakey-- will this do a better job exfoliating and moisturizing?
Masa & Olive Face Paste might be just what you are looking for since it combines both more exfoliating and skin softening properties that help flakey skin recover.
