INGREDIENT SPOTLIGHT - WALNUT SHELLS

Josh Rosebrook's Active Enzyme Exfoliator is an incredible resurfacing treatment that uses walnut shell powder as its hero ingredient.

There are two categories of ingredients that have exfoliating properties: chemical and physical. Chemical exfoliants function without the physical action of rubbing in the form of enzymes or acids. These exfoliant compounds break the biochemical bonds that hold dead skin cells together, making it possible to remove them. Physical exfoliants remove dead skin cells by the action of rubbing a particle over the skin - the rubbing sensation physically loosens the dead skin cells. In Josh Rosebrook's Active Enzyme Exfoliator, the physical exfoliant is the walnut shell powder and the chemical exfoliants are herbal-infused honey, neem and papaya enzyme. The formula is then rounded out with a herbal infusion, packed with antioxidants and proven calming properties to revitalize and brighten the appearance of the skin. 

THE BENEFITS OF WALNUT SHELLS:

• They can help target blemish-prone conditions
• They can help combat excess oil built up in your skin
• Walnut shells can help your skin feel smoother and softer
• Your skin will be left with a smooth, even tone
• They removes dead and dry skin, giving you a healthier glow
• They are better for the environment than exfoliators containing microbeads

Josh Rosebrook's uses a high quality walnut shell that is washed (to remove any trace of the nut meal and nut oil), sterilised, finely ground and polished to produce an even consistency in shape and size of the granules. The consistently rounded and even granules remove concern about harmful barrier disruption as there are no sharp, uneven and un-polished granules that could potentially cause damage to the skin.

If you have ultra sensitive skin, or suffer from challenging skin conditions, you can still greatly benefit from the powerful enzymatic exfoliants packed into the formula which is teeming with calming plant compounds. Omit manual exfoliation and smooth a thick layer of the dark paste over the face and neck, leaving it on for a few minutes. When ready, rinse with warm water and pat dry. Next mist your face with the Hydrating Accelerator and apply your choice of moisturiser.
