Fall is the perfect time to exfoliate your skin and reveal a fresh healthy glow. I'm sure you have heard us ask if you would like to add an enzyme to your facial. Have you wondered what exactly an enzyme does? Sure you know your skin looks and feels amazing, but why? Simply put exfoliating is like raking away dead leaves allowing the water to penetrate the fresh earth below. Not only is the skin fresh and new, but it better absorbs any products you use. Next time your skin is feeling a little blah stop in for a skin refreshing enzyme. We have fun holiday flavors that are a delight to your skin and senses.
