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.
