For best results, apply a small amount of Sea Quartz plastic free cleanser to slightly damp face and neck. Massage in a circular motion until desired exfoliation is achieved. Activate the milkiness by adding a splash of water. Rinse with warm water. Avoid contact with water in the jar.

I’ve read so many rave reviews about this cleanser so I was excited to try it out. And I have to say wow, wow, wow!!! I’m completely blown away.

The formula is so unique and I have to say it’s one of the best exfoliating cleansers I’ve tried.

First of all the vibrant green colour is captivating, plus the aroma of sweet orange, blue chamomile and coconut milk is amazing.

I love how it transforms into a milky lather when you add a little bit of water. It gives my skin a deep cleanse and gently buffs away dead skin cells without stripping the skin. My skin feels thoroughly cleansed, soft, smooth and radiant.

I’ve noticed my skin is less congested and any blemishes heal faster. I’m really pleased I decided to try this out and I will definitely repurchase this when I run out.
