The Gommage Exfoliating Gel by Sonäge is a gentle, microbead-free scrub that exfoliates and hydrates the skin, eliminating dead skin cells while hydrating and brightening the skin. The gel can also help reduce inflammation with its all-natural ingredients, such as nettle extract, an anti-inflammatory that stops bacterial growth; and lime oil, an antioxidant and antiseptic rich in vitamin C that minimizes the appearance of dark spots. In addition, the gel has citrus aromas that may be useful in curbing stress and anxiety.
To use, cleanse the skin and apply a layer of the gel on the hands and arms. Let the gel act for one to two minutes. Once it’s damp-dry, gently remove the layer using a light circular motion with your fingertips. Remove the remaining dead skin cell particles with a tissue. The gel can also be used as a facial cleanser, making it a versatile retail item.
