Introducing The Powder from the independent, award-winning skin and scalp care line, Monday Muse.
RRP £45
Three years in development, The Powder is a non-abrasive powder exfoliator formulated with acne-prone, reactive and sensitive skin in mind. Suitable for all skin types, it offers a gentle exfoliation alternative for those looking to improve congestion, texture and dullness, revealing smooth, hydrated and brighter skin.
The Powder’s unique formula has been created using ultra-finely milled, anti-inflammatory colloidal oatmeal and tapioca starch, using a patented process to create the ingredients’ small particle size and enhance the bioavailability of the ingredient phytochemicals. Together, colloidal oatmeal and tapioca starch lightly polish whilst nourishing and calming the skin.
These gentle base ingredients are blended with enzymes (lipase and protease which are the enzymatic compounds) to improve skin texture and help fade discolouration, with zinc PCA to absorb excess oil whilst reinforcing the skin’s barrier, organic turmeric is added to deliver a brighter complexion, for skin renewed.
“I wanted to create a product that is mild and gentle on the skin but still gives that exfoliation when I need it. I personally find it difficult to know which AHAs and BHAs are suitable for my reactive skin in terms of strength, I never know how my skin will react, which is something I know many people with sensitive skin worry about too. With an enzyme powder I feel more in control of the exfoliation process and with the gentle ingredients we have use, my skin feels soft, polished and calm.”
Lune Martens, Monday Muse Founder
How to use
Mix a grape-sized amount of The Powder with a few drops of water in the palm of your hand to activate, then massage the paste into the skin for 30-60 seconds, rinsing with tepid water.
The Powder can also be mixed with water and applied to the skin and left on to dry as a flash mask, allowing the ingredients to penetrate the skin.
Clinical Trial Results
An independent clinical test of THE POWDER by Callegari 1930 Company shows that using the product three times each week visually reduced the look of pigmentation after just four weeks of use.
