Facial Scrub
This gentle exfoliant is formulated with papaya and volcanic rock enzymes that effectively removes dead skin and impurities for a more radiant, oxygenated skin thanks to its chemical and mechanical exfoliation. The combined action of papain (a fruit enzyme) and pumice (a fine volcanic rock powder) provides a comprehensive action and promotes the renewal of the stratum corneum while leaving you with soft and radiant skin. All this allows better absorption of products, moisturizes the skin, and helps prevent and treat acne.
How to Use: Use once a week, apply a layer of the Facial Exfoliant to the face and neck and leave on for 1 to 2 minutes. Then gently massage in circular motions, avoiding the eye area. Rinse with lukewarm water.
This facial scrub has a lovely creamy consistency and a scentless scent. I found a little goes a long way (like a little more than a pea-size) covers and exfoliates the entire face and neck. The exfoliation is very gentle on the skin and left my skin feeling very relaxed and soft.
Glowing Gel Mask
This Glowing Gel Mask is suitable for all skin types and is full of plant-based and natural active ingredients and provides an immediate invigorating effect on the skin. The combination of fruit acids, plant-based collagen, provitamin B5, calendula extract, and aloe vera brightens the complexion, stimulates collagen production, and leaves skin looking smoother. The white clay it contains removes impurities, moisturizes, and softens without damaging the skin. Regular use of the gel mask provides better daily hydration and is an essential tool for combating skin aging by accelerating cell renewal.
How to Use: Use 1 to 2 times per week, depending on your skin’s needs for brightness and even tone, apply a layer of the Gel Mask to clean skin, avoiding the eye contour. Leave on for 10 to 15 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water.
This gel mask has a thin gel consistency and a scentless less. It’s easy to apply – it goes on effortlessly and gentle on the skin, leaving a nice gel coating. After about 15 minutes, it was also easy to rinse off and my skin did not feel tight afterwards, in fact it felt hydrating and moisturized.
Aura – Hydra+ Mist
This hydrating facial mist combines damask rose hydrosol, aloe, and natural humectants, amino acids, for radiant, revitalized, and hydrated skin. These high-quality natural ingredients have been supplemented with low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid for its valuable properties, including improving the appearance of wrinkles and improving skin elasticity. This mist helps moisturizer absorb better, provides a healthy dose of hydration and is good for all skin types.
How to Use: Spray gently onto clean skin, holding the bottle about 20–30 cm away. Allow the skin to absorb naturally or lightly tap with fingertips. Can be used morning and evening, or as often as desired throughout the day to hydrate, soothe, or refresh the skin.
This facial mist has no scent detected and provides a very lightweight, all-around mist. It absorbs into the skin almost immediately and leaves skin feel hydrated and refreshed. I love using this mist right after cleansing, before applying serums and moisturizers and it’s super handy to have in my bag to spritz on my face throughout the day as a little refreshing pick-me-up.
Eye Contour Cream
The eye contour cream is a lightweight treatment that hydrates, nourishes, firms, and brightens the delicate skin around the eyes. It is packed with several high-quality active ingredients that work together to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, dark circles, and puffiness. The main active ingredient is a combination of high-quality marine algae (pharmaceutical grade), which naturally protects and maintains the integrity of microcapillaries. This eye contour cream daily helps reduce and prevent the signs of skin aging. The moisturizing ingredients in the formula helps eliminate signs of fatigue for healthy-looking skin.
How to Use: Use morning and evening after cleansing and before serum or face cream, apply a very small amount using your fingertip, gently apply to the eye contour, tapping from the inner corner outward. Use the remaining cream on your fingers to spread it around your lips and between your eyebrows.
This eye cream has a lightweight, thin cream texture. A fair warning, when dispencing the product, be gentle with the pump, you truly only need less than half a pump. I found no scent was detected and it applied smoothly, absorbing almost immediately and left my under eyes hydrated and moisturized.
Aura – Vitality Serum
This serum based on damask rose hydrosol is a blend of highly effective active ingredients that will enhance the appearance of your face in a flash! Its instant hydrating and tightening effect comes from ice wine extract combined with carob gum. To this Pravi have added an alpine rose extract that acts deep on the skin cells to reduce redness, improve skin elasticity and eliminate cells that accelerate aging. Amino acids and jojoba ester complete the formula for a long-lasting smoothing and hydrating effect.
How to Use: Use morning and evening for a daily boost of radiance and revitalization. On clean, slightly damp skin (enhance absorption of active ingredients), apply a thin, even layer of the Vitality Serum to the face and neck.
This Aura Vitality Serum has a thin, runny consistency and a very light flower water scent – nothing too strong or lingering. It sets into the skin almost immediately and leaves the skin hydrated and radiant.
