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.

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?
