How to use

Scoop about 2 blueberries worth onto damp fingertips. Massage gently into wet skin for 20 to 30 seconds. Do not expect a big lather, this is a low-soap, low-detergent cleanse. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Follow with Face Serum, Face Cream or another 100% oil moisturizer. Use daily for best results. A mild tingle from the dead sea salt is normal for some users.

Soft and natural, with a subtle honeyed warmth and a quiet herbal note from organic essential oils.
