Don’t have the time or money to invest in both an organic face mask and a scrub? Get both in one in Josh Rosebrook’s Active Enzyme Exfoliator, a new skincare product made with all organic and wild-crafted ingredients!
 
In this yummy skin concoction, an honey mask meets a gentle walnut scrub. Concocted by Josh Rosebrook, senior stylist at West Hollywood hair salon The Parlour on 3rd, this exfoliator’s full of organic herbal extracts — from bilberry to white willow bark to ginkgo leaf — combined with very finely ground walnut shells and organic essential oils in an organic honey base. Open the jar and you’ll get an intense herbal scent — by which I mean real, organic, botanical herbs, not the weird synthetic stuff that gives Herbal Essences its not-so-natural odor.
 
For green beauty seekers used to exfoliating with a scrub, washing off, then reapplying a face mask, Josh Rosebrook’s exfoliator will simplify your routine. Just apply a small amount of the product in a circular motion to exfoliate, then leave the stuff on to work its magic as an herb-and-enzyme honey mask — for as little as 10 minutes to as long as an hour — before rinsing off.
 
I was a little nervous before using Josh Rosebrook’s exfoliator because I was concerned the walnut shells would be too abrasive for my skin — but I found that the shells were ground into very fine granules that did their work gently and that the honey and enzyme mask left my skin feeling healthy and pampered. That, plus the fact that this exfoliator’s really about as organic and natural as a product can get, makes me think the product will be replacing my usual Arcona Cranberry Gommage as my favorite exfoliator.
 
There is a downside to this coveted skin care elixir full of high-end organic ingredients, however. At $60 for a 2-ounce jar, Josh Rosebrook’s exfoliator doesn’t come cheap. A small amount of the product goes a long way, though, and if you were spending more than $60 to buy separate scrubs and masks, this exfoliator could actually save you money.
 
Find Josh Rosebrook’s Active Enzyme Exfoliator at The Parlour on 3rd, both in store or by calling 323.651.4200.

Great information. I would say honey and oats are the best for acne :)

What you put on your skin can either help it or harm it - and your entire body - depending on what's in the product. Therefore, it's important to consider the ingredients in ALL the products you use - like those on your hair and body as well as your face. 

The best treatments for any age or type skin are not the most expensive ones, but rather gentle ones that are effective. Chemicals are not gentle or effective. In fact, research is showing that a buildup of chemicals on the skin can cause

acne, dryness (which leads to prematurely aging skin) and skin cancer.

 The best products are those with the highest-quality ingredients, not the highest price.

 With so many manufacturers using chemicals in their products, almost any product - cleansers, moisturizers, shampoos, shaving creams, conditioners, hair gels, sunscreens and makeup - can be causing breakouts on your face and body. 



Here's a page that shows what to look for in organic products as well as ingredients to avoid in skin and hair care products. http://www.best-mens-skin-care.com/organic-skin-care.html
/> 


To find chemical-free products, read labels and research ingredients - or start with certified organic ingredients which don't contain harmful chemicals.
