Revision Pumpkin Enzyme Mask
Pumpkin Enzyme Mask - This “scrub-in mask” features the dual action of physical and enzyme exfoliators to instantly revitalize the complexion, leaving skin feeling smooth and looking healthy. Upon applying, the mask is lightly scrubbed across the face, allowing the pumpkin and cocoa micro-exfoliating powders to provide gentle physical exfoliation. This helps to prepare the skin for additional beneficial ingredients in the mask. Next, the mask is left on the skin for the naturally-derived pumpkin enzyme to help optimize cell turnover, while gold Brazilian clay draws out impurities. A replenishing complex hydrates and softens, and a rich, pumpkin scent delivers a sensorial experience. 1.7 oz / 48 g tube
