With over 120 pampering products products, Perfectly Posh has everything you need to give you the skin you've always wanted!
Cleansers
Cleansers do just that - they cleanse the excess oil, dirt, and pollutants leaving your face fresh and ready for the day (or night)! A cleanser should be gentle enough to use on a daily basis. Wet face with warm water to open pores prior to cleansing, and rinse with cooler water to close them back up!
Exfoliants
Exfoliating the face should be done gently and sparingly, 1-3 times a week, depending on the intensity of the exfoliant. Some exfoliants are use gentle ground walnut shells to remove dead skin, like those found in Complexion Perfection. Others use more aggressive ingredients such as the ground diamond powder in Shine Bright like a Diamond. These harsher exfoliants remove more layers of dead skin and should be used sparingly.
Moisturizers
Moisturizers are a necessary to reintroduce moisture into the skin after it has been cleansed or exfoliated. Many people believe that if they have oily skin, they don't need a moisturizer. On the contrary. In most cases, skin produces excess oil to make up for the fact that there is a lack of moisture. Moisturizers with caffeine can help increase blood flow, reducing the appearance of file lines, as seen in Moisturize 911. Others, like Wildcrafted, use a mixture of natural butters and beeswax to protect from harsh weather.
Face Masks
There are several different types of face masks, each accomplishing a different skin care goal. Perfectly Posh has face masks ranging from anti-acne, to fresh greens, to customizable facial treatments. Apply a face mask for the recommended time after cleansing, rinse, and moisturize. It is not recommended to mask after a harsh exfoliant.
Pore Primer
Pore primers are designed to reduce the appearance of pores and prime your face allowing makeup to go on smoother and last longer. They should be applied to clean, moisturized skin.
Spot Treatment
Spot treatments are used to treat blemishes and imperfections intensely. Using this localized method, strong ingredients like glycolic acid, witch hazel, and tamarind can attack the blemish without drying out the rest of the delicate facial skin. Spot treatments should be applied after cleansing, before moisturizer.
Serums
Serums are light, fast-absorbing liquids that are used in addition to or in place of standard moisturizers. They leave out the occlusive ingredients as well as may nut and seed oils that are found in moisturizers. This leaves a high concentration of active ingredients such as the polypeptides found in Lash Pop! Facial serums should be applied to a clean face before (or in lieu of) a moisturizer.
Of course these aren't the only facial products that Perfectly Posh has to offer. Check out the rest here!
