Zia Natural Skincare report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel
Citrus Night Time Reversal ($25.95 for 1.5oz)
Because my skin can be sensitive and reactive to exfoliating
products that are too strong or abrasive, I was attracted to
this cream from Zia thanks to its short, simple list of
ingredients: Raw Hawaiian Sugar Cane, Whole Citrus Concentrate,
Sunflower Oil, Buttermilk Solids, Red Wine, Aloe Vera Juice,
Ceteareth 20, and Vitamin E. A friend recommended I try it, and
I'm glad I took her advice. I use this every night after
cleansing, massaging a small amount into my skin until it
disappears (it starts off rather white). I often gravitate
toward products that seem more "natural", which actually isn't
always the best for your skin, but in this case I'm having
better luck with the natural, gentle forms of alpha hydroxy
acids (from the sugarcane, buttermilk and wine) than I have
with more "chemical" versions. This is a nice option for
sensitive skin because the exfoliation is very gentle and
subtle.
