The Refresh Mint

Description

Maya Chia The Refresh Mint creates the look and feel of smooth, soft, glowing skin. This beautiful blue mask is formulated to exfoliate in the gentlest way, leaving skin feeling moisturized and soothed. Azelaic and lactic acids visibly improve the appearance of brightness and skin tone, reducing the appearance of redness and imperfections. Pumpkin and pineapple enzymes provide a gentle exfoliating sensation that makes skin look even and glowing. Chia seed extract lends a nourishing and calming feel. A light minty aroma revitalizes the senses.

HOW TO USE IT

Apply a thin layer of resurfacing moisture mask to freshly cleansed skin and allow to remain on the skin until completely dry. You may feel a slight tingling sensation as mask dries, which is natural. Rinse with warm water and pat dry, then apply your favorite facial serum or moisturizer. For those with sensitive skin, perform a patch test by applying a small amount of mask to inner wrist and leaving for 5 minutes before using on face. For best results, use every other day the first week, then use the mask 2-3 times each week to maintain results.

ABOUT THIS BRAND

Through her lifelong fascination with the rituals of the Mayan culture, Susanne Norwitz, Founder of Maya Chia, discovered that chia seeds, a Mayan superfood, produced the most omega and nutritionally dense oil in nature, clinically proven to increase skin hydration, improve skin barrier function and reduce transepidermal water loss. Motivated to bring this Mayan gift to the masses, she delved into her own research to identify the purest method for extraction to ensure the integrity of the oil remains as close to its original plant-based form as possible. It is the patented, supercritical extraction method of chia seed oil that makes Maya Chia a star. Maya Chia’s mission is to support beautiful skin powered by nature’s most active botanicals. Each beauty product in the line boasts a super concentration of active ingredients that strike the perfect balance of omegas, antioxidants, and minerals to deeply moisturize and nourish skin. Susanne now sources all of her chia seed oil from sustainable cooperatives in Central and South America and donates a portion of the company’s net profits to organizations that build farms and schools in Mayan communities.
