This deeply nourishing face mask clenases, exfoliates, and feeds the skin with powerful nutrients.
Chickpea flour has been used in Ayurvedic tradition for hundreds of years as an effective cleanser, and unlike foamy soaps, surfactants, and chemical gels, chickpea flour doesn’t strip your skin of its natural oils, nor does it disturb the delicate acid mantle that protects your skin against harmful bacteria, viruses, and other potential contaminates. Chickpea flour unclogs pores while tightening them naturally, without being overly drying. Its especially great for acne-prone skin like mine!
