14 DAY TRIAL // Organic cosmetics are all the rage these days, as I'm sure most of you already know. With so many big players in the cosmetic industry setting their sights on producing and marketing "all-natural" beauty products, it's now a pleasure to browse the shelves and cosmetics counters in various shops up and down the country choosing what's best for your skin with the sure-fire knowledge that whatever you buy is eco-friendly, beneficial for your body and will not exhaust the planet's already fragile resources. And if you're looking for a good place to start, why not sample the new MAC Future Earth: Organic Ash Exfoliator.
This product is marketed as a "dual-purpose, foaming and exfoliating scrub blending natural Volcanic Ash with fine sugar crystals from the islands of Vanuatu". Indeed, although we may initially feel a little reluctant at the sight of the elegant black jar filled with the slightly unnerving gooey substance, it's a good idea to give this body scrub a chance. It is aimed to gently remove impurities and clean our face or any other part of our bodies, leaving skin moisturized and clean. It's rich in minerals, and although at the first touch it may come across as rather gritty, it achieves a soft, smooth consistency as it cleanses, somewhat similar to that of a clay face mask.
Those of you with sensitive skins should not worry - this Volcanic Ash scrub exfoliates without being harsh on the skin. Rinse it off using warm water and you will be able to enjoy the baby-soft feeling of well-moisturized skin. As an extra tip, you could use this product on your elbows, and even on your heels after using a pumice to achieve that perfect summertime pedicure. It's all-natural, uses renewable resources and leaves your skin feeling fresh and clean. What more could we want?
