Kora organics gua sha1/4/2024 I do this mask in the mornings sometimes and it is a GREAT way to wake up! This is a short mask too so anywhere from 5-15 minutes will allow you to see results! You can see from the texture below that this mask is chockful of bits so I try to be gentle on my cheeks which are most prone to redness and then give a few seconds more of a massage around my nose, jawline and forehead. I LOVED the feeling and the tingle just added to the overall sense of refreshment! I know peppermint oil might sound scary to some with sensitive skin so a spot test might be advisable if you think you might react. Not only did this mask smell wonderfully herbal, the texture of my skin upon removal was so silky smooth! My skin looked brighter right away and had a fresh tingle to it thanks to the inclusion of peppermint oil. I did not expect to like this mask as much as I did! This is both a chemical (AHA and BHA) and physical exfoliator which acts to brighten the skin and promote skin cell turnover using turmeric, papaya enzymes, aspen bark and rosehip seed powder (physical exfoliant). If you believe in the healing power of crystals, then you would really appreciate this extra touch, but even a pragmatist like myself likes the idea of something pink and pretty in my skincare. I'm not a crystal healing person, but I like stones in general both from an aesthetic and science standpoint and to me I see the addition of rose quartz as a little touch that sets KORA apart from others. The rose quartz powder is what I call the "romantic part" of the formula because it is there for providing soothing energy and "infusing the vibration of love" into us as we use each product. While the Noni fruit has a reputation for being one of the most pungent fruits in the world, it is a nice one for the skin as it is a rich source of antioxidants and vitamins C and A as well as having anti-inflammatory properties. There are two interesting ingredients which all KORA products contain: Noni fruit ( Morinda citrifolia) and rose quartz powder. Granted, I would HOPE she would enjoy her own products, but it made me investigate. She seemed to really be enjoying each and every product and even included a gua sha massage with her Noni Face Oil. Maybe I had been in lockdown for too long, but I found her whole routine so relaxing, chill and satisfying to watch. Founded by Australian model Miranda Kerr, this eco-certified, COSMOS certified skincare line grabbed my attention only recently after watching a YouTube video of Miranda's Kerr's skincare routine.
