Both the ingredients are sedately cool by their nature and enhance radiance of the skin. - Exfoliation by Olive oil
Olive oil is another great natural exfoliator. Rubbing gently, the Olive oil soaked-soft-cloth over your face as well as full body, deeply cleanses the pores. Olive oil seeps deeper inside the tissues.
