How does volcanic ash exfoliation work?
Fine volcanic-ash particles help Facial Resurfacer polish away dull surface buildup as you massage and rinse, leaving skin smoother and fresher-looking.
In current US Facial Resurfacer, finely textured, mineral-rich Vanuatu volcanic ash works beside walnut shell powder to exfoliate and polish dry, dull surface cells. SeneGence selects Vanuatu volcanic ash from a downwind deposit approximately 1.5 kilometers from Mount Yasur's active vent. During that airborne journey, larger fragments settle sooner, helping concentrate a finer particle range farther from the vent; the material chosen for SeneGence is selected for a near-spherical particle profile. That is why SeneGence chooses this Vanuatu material; the selection profile is not a particle specification or finished-product test. Read the complete selection record.
A little goes a long way. Gently massage Facial Resurfacer onto clean, moist skin using light circular motions. Avoid eyes, rinse well, and use it twice per week or on an as-needed basis. Use the finished Facial Resurfacer—not loose volcanic ash—so the ash, walnut shell powder, and rinse-off formula work together.
Smoothing Body Scrub is a separate Mexico-market body formula that pairs volcanic ash with pumice. Shop the current US Facial Resurfacer.
