My Experience Using the Yerba Mate Resurfacing Energy Facial

For context, I have oily skin and my problem areas are my chin and the sides and corners of my nose where I have enlarged pores and unwanted texture. Because of this, I look for exfoliating treatments that help to cleanse my skin of excess oil and buff away texture.

Starting with clean, damp skin, I scooped about a penny-sized amount of the product onto my fingers and began massaging it evenly across my face. I noticed immediately that the texture resembled a very fine, wet sand. I could feel the micro-exfoliating particles physically buffing my skin, and while it was more abrasive than many physical exfoliants I’ve tried lately, it didn’t feel painful because the particles aren’t coarse. In fact, while I love chemical exfoliating treatments because I don’t always want or need a physical scrub, it felt incredibly satisfying to feel this product in action. Because the formula is pretty thick and the physical exfoliating particles are evenly dispersed throughout, it did a thorough job at exfoliating every area of my face.

Once evenly distributed on my skin, I let it sit for around two minutes per the directions on the packaging. As it dried, I could see the particles turn lighter in color and that’s when I knew it was time to rinse it off. I rinsed it off with lukewarm water and I noticed immediately how smooth and radiant my complexion looked. My excess oil was nowhere in sight, and the rough texture around my nose and chin was significantly reduced.

I’ve since used this treatment about 10 times, and I absolutely love it for when my skin is looking dull or needs a quick resurfacing treatment. It’s also a great treatment to use before an event, because it may help your makeup to apply smoothly (just make sure that this is never the first time you try any treatment). It’s a top-shelf item for me, and I don’t see anything taking its place any time soon.
