It is very important to periodically remove spent skin cells, especially as we age.

The trick is to do it without damaging or stressing the skin, without scraping, scratching, or burning. We found a simple, straight forward, and extremely effective way to exfoliate without damaging your skin using fruit enzymes.

Important Note: Please always avoid scratchy exfoliants, acid exfoliants, and machines that exfoliate. No matter what anyone tells you, these are not good for your skin. Rule of thumb: if it hurts or is uncomfortable, that's your skin telling you to stop right away.

Apply a moderate layer to freshly cleansed and toned skin.

• Leave the mask on for 5 or 10 minutes or until it begins to tighten and dry. Never let any mask dry on your skin, because as it tightens it stresses your skin laterally.
• Finally, rinse thoroughly with Delicate Cleanser and water that’s not too hot and not too cold. Comfortable water temperature is important because that's your skin’s way of telling you the temperature is just right. Skin is very smart and, if you listen carefully, it'll tell you what it needs in order to be healthy, lovely, and glowing.
• Follow with toner and moisturizer.
• Can be used to gently exfoliate once a week to every two weeks.

At Luminance Skincare, using safe, high-quality ingredients is very important. We believe every constituent of a skincare product should be either organic or wildcrafted. Ours are. We believe that ingredients considered separately should all be what skin readily considers a nutrient source and non-threatening. Ours are. Formulating an ideal skincare product is a lot more than assembling a list of good ingredients, it’s understanding the secondary and sometimes tertiary interactions and achieving the ideal ratios. We always do.

Safflower Oil 

It is a plant oil derived from the seeds of the safflower plant (Carthamus tinctorius). It's known for its versatile uses, including in skincare products. Let's analyze the components and potential benefits of safflower oil for human facial skin:

Fatty Acids:

1. Linoleic Acid: Safflower oil is particularly high in linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid that supports the skin's barrier function, helps regulate sebum production, and maintains overall skin health.
2. Oleic Acid: Safflower oil also contains oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid that provides moisturization and softening to the skin.

Benefits for Human Facial Skin:

1. Moisturization and Hydration: Safflower oil's linoleic acid content provides effective moisturization, helping to prevent dryness and maintain skin hydration.
2. Skin Barrier Support: The combination of linoleic acid and oleic acid in safflower oil supports the skin's natural barrier function, preventing moisture loss and protecting against environmental stressors.
3. Anti-Inflammatory: The presence of linoleic acid in safflower oil gives it anti-inflammatory properties, making it suitable for soothing and calming irritated or sensitive skin.
4. Non-Comedogenic: Safflower oil has a low comedogenic rating, which means it's less likely to clog pores. This makes it suitable for various skin types, including oily and acne-prone skin.
5. Softening and Smoothing: Safflower oil's emollient effects contribute to improved skin texture, leaving it softer and smoother.
6. Support for Conditions like Eczema: The anti-inflammatory properties of safflower oil can provide relief for conditions like eczema and dermatitis.
7. Gentle Makeup Removal: Safflower oil can be used as a natural and gentle makeup remover, breaking down makeup and impurities without harsh chemicals.
8. Support for Aging Skin: The combination of moisturization and anti-inflammatory effects may contribute to reducing the appearance of fine lines and promoting a more youthful complexion.
9. Support for Dry Skin: Safflower oil's moisturizing properties make it beneficial for individuals with dry or flaky skin.

Fruit Enzymes, a mixed combination 

A combination of enzymes from bilberry, sugar cane, sugar maple, lemon, and orange offer gentle exfoliation options that can lead to a brighter, smoother, and more revitalized complexion. Each enzyme provides its unique benefits for skin renewal and overall skin health. When incorporating enzyme exfoliants into your skincare routine, be mindful of your skin type and sensitivities, and follow product instructions for the best results.
