Why Face Polish?

Erm coz the product is made using fine exfoliative ingredient that polishes your dull skin. Thats why i prefer to call it polish instead of scrub (scrub sounds like scrubbing the floor isnt it :0-D)

But jokes aside; a lot of times; when we use products that are for anti aging; they tend to regenrate our skin faster than the usualy rate of 28-35 days. At times; some ingredients like keratolytics would increase the speed of skin regeneration to as fast as 14-21 days. 

At this rate; new skins will be generated; and by right the old skin should shed off (yes its not only snakes that shades skin; we do too!).

So anyways; thats what the suppose to be normal thing should be. However; most of the times; the old skin doesnt drop off just like that; and thats why we need to manually help to remove it.

Most of the time; using mechanical way, or the chemical way.

If you use an exfoliating toner; like our tamarind toner; you will be using AHA (glycolic acid) to remove the dead skin(using cotton pad). So thats the ‘chemical’ was of removing dead skin.

But once or twice a week; we should also incorporate the mechanical way of removing these dead skin cells; and so we will hv to manually remove the dead skin; using scrub; or polish:-)

So this is how this product comes into the glass skin series.

As for the extract; im using banana because of its soothing and antioxidant properties.

Its perfect for someone who has flares or redness on their skin. So if you have mildly sensitive skin; this product is perfect for you:-)
