My Thoughts on Green Tea & Enzyme Powder Wash by Wishtrend & Ginger's Linkup #8

Okay ladies, let's talk about facial washes! How difficult is it to find one you love; one that is for all skin types? I know! It's SO difficult! I typically find that facial washes either leave my skin too dry or make it oily, which is super strange, because my skin is very dry. Worse yet, some cause dreaded pimples to appear! That is NOT okay! I typically just end up falling back to basic soap or gentle facial wipes. I know, I know...soap is terrible for your face.

Wishtrend is launching a new facial cleansing product called Green Tea & Enzyme Powder Wash, and I was fortunate  enough to give it a try prior to Friday's launch.  Let me just say, I was skeptical about a powder facial wash. I mean, how easy could it be to use? Would it be messy? BUT... this powder proved me wrong. It was so simple to use, and lathered right up into a great wash! Let's just say, I'm not easily impressed, but I love this stuff! I mean, who doesn't love to exfoliate while cleansing?

This great powder wash is a low-acid moisturizing cleanser and refreshing scrub combined to form this fabulous green tea powder wash. It works great for all skin types and is especially good for oily and acne-prone skin.

Let me tell you how wonderful this powder smells! It really has a light tea scent (and I LOVE tea), and it's so refreshing. To use, take a small amount of the Green Tea & Enzyme Powder Wash in the palm of your hand, mix with water and rub to create a foam. 

 

You then rub the powder on your face in circular motions. You will feel small bits of grit, but don't worry, that polishes and gently exfoliates your skin. When rinsing the cleanser off your face, you will immediately notice how soft and smooth your face feels, and that's because it not only exfoliates your skin, but it also moisturizes it.  The exfoliation is very gentle, and my skin felt so nice after using this wash. This great product is definitely part of my beauty routine. I mean, we all know that a huge part of anti-aging is regular exfoliation. 

So, let me give you the specific facts about this wonderful powder wash and what it does, aside from the fact that it's on sale right now for only $17.60 !
