Elemis has introduced Pro-Collagen Glow Boost Exfoliator, a radiance-boosting skin smoothing physical exfoliator. It shares the same blend of oils, waxes and aromatic as its best-selling Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm.
Perfect for rough, congested or flaky skin, experts at Elemis believe effective exfoliation could be the key to achieving a glowing, clear complexion, said the company. Not only does it offer an indulgent, spa-like ritual at home, but exfoliation can help to remove a build-up of dead skin cells, encouraging cell renewal for smoother, revitalized skin. Exfoliating cellulose beads sourced from spruce trees – a non-plastic alternative to microbeads – with a skin-softening trio of starflower, elderberry and optimega oils enhance the cleansing routine by gently sweeping away dead skin to reveal a radiant complexion. Pro-Collagen Glow Boost Exfoliator is perfect for preparing the skin for the subsequent steps of a skin care regimen, as the product allows for better absorption creating a more even base for makeup.
Key Ingredients
Starflower oil is from a fully traceable source, right back to the field, on a fifth-generation farm in the UK, with a short supply chain. Pressed nine miles from where it is harvested, the seeds from starflower, otherwise known as the Borage plant, are the richest natural source of GLA, Omega-6 fatty acid, helping to soften, smooth and nourish skin.
Optimega oil is a carefully balanced blend of two natural oils pressed in the UK, wheatgerm and oat. It has been designed to give a balanced range of essential fatty acids including Omega 6 & 9. The neat oil is known to help reduce trans epidermal water loss and increase the skin’s feeling of smoothness
Elderberry oil is rich in essential fatty acids, and has a silky skin feel while being readily absorbed, supporting skin smoothness, without leaving a greasy skin feel. It is a by-product of the elderberry extract production as it is taken from the seeds of the elderberry fruit. The fruit is rich in anthocyanins, a group of flavonoids that act as natural antioxidants
Padina Pavonica is a brown, fan-shaped algae, traditionally found on the Mediterranean coast. A good source of polysaccharides to maintain skins moisturization, and support the feeling of hydration. Innovative gentle extraction process harnessing the power of water maintains the integrity of the actives
