Kyoto Scrub: This month’s scrub has been inspired by the signature principles of Japanese skin care; simplicity, harmony, and the use of natural herbs and grains.  This gentle facial scrub is traditionally preceded by the use of Camellia Seed Oil as a pre-scrub cleanser.  Camellia Seed Oil is applied to the face using a cotton ball or soft cloth, then wiped away.  This scrub can also be followed by a fresh toner made of cooled Green Tea.  You can also create your own Green Tea Toner by combining one of our Organic Hydrosols with our water soluble Green Tea Extract.
