What I Say:
I absolutely love it when I come across new brands that I’ve
never heard of or tried before. That was the case with the Karpati Bio-Intelligent
brand, which has been created by beauty therapist Eva Karpati, based on her
experience of what she has learnt about skin care in her 20 years of experience
of dealing with the stars. Her passion is to bring an end to harmful chemicals
in cosmetics, hair and nail care.
"It is my mission to inspire our generation to become better
educated and to stop allowing harmful chemicals into our body on a daily basis.
The peace of mind that comes with using safe and effective cosmetics is
paramount in supporting our wellbeing" Eva Karparti
And as you all may be aware, I have, since being pregnant,
been increasingly interested in more natural products, so this is just music to
my ears!
The Enzymatic Deep Polishing Powder includes nothing but
natural ingredients such as rice flour, that won’t clog pores, Prozymex Enzyme
which acts as a decongestant, lemon grass for purifying, grape seed extract
that nourishes and green tea extract that acts as an antioxidant. And
absolutely no harmful or nasty chemical ingredients.

So how did the Enzymatic Deep Polishing Powder perform…
When I first saw the bottle with the fine powder, I did find
it a little odd to begin with. Tipping a bit of the powder into my hands I was
also struggling getting the powder to turn into a paste – I simply added too
much water, making it too runny, or too little water so the paste was too
difficult to massage into the face. So it did take a few goes before I realised
that simply putting the powder onto wet hands was more than sufficient water.
Massaging the Polishing Powder into the skin, feels just
like massaging a cream into the skin – it is so gentle that you, unlike other
facial exfoliators, cannot feel any scrubby bits. It makes you wonder if is
even doing anything to the skin…
But once rinsed off the face, I can instantly feel and see
the results. My skin is so soft – softer than it has ever been, yet without
being irritated, or feeling dried out. And it is as if it has been cleaned deep
down every single pore. It is by far the gentlest exfoliator that I have ever
used.
The Polishing Powder comes in a plastic bottle with a twist
lid at the top, and once you twist it, a few small holes open (in fact a very
similar design to a bottle with baby powder!), allowing you to shake out a
little powder into your hands, without getting any moisture into the bottle.
The Polishing Powder doesn’t contain any fragrance, but once
made into the paste, it still has a nice and gentle natural scent, no doubt from
the included ingredients such as green tea and lemon grass. But once rinsed off
the face, this scent quickly disappears.
After having used the Polishing Powder for over a month approx.
every second day, I am so impressed with the results. My skin feels softer and
more refined than it ever has. And because it is so gentle that I’ve been able
to use it so frequently, it also seems to have normalised the oil production in
my skin, so it no longer feels so greasy in the t-zone area, and consequently I
seem to be getting less breakouts, and the blackheads that I use to have, especially
on my nose, seems to be a thing of the past. It also means that my makeup
glides on so much easier, and no to mention, looks so much nicer and stays put
for longer.
At $86 for a bottle it is a little pricey, but you seriously
only use to little (when you’ve got the hang of it!), that the bottle will last
you a very long time. And in spite of having used it so frequently for a month,
I still have well over half left.
Because the exfoliator is so gentle, and it contains no
harsh particles, it is suitable for all skin types, including very sensitive.
All in all this truly is a wonder product. With absolutely no chemical nasties, it is so natural and so
gentle, yet the results speak for themselves. Why didn’t I come across this Polishing
Powder any sooner.
