The brush is curved the way that perfectly replicates the shape of the face. Natural silk helps revitalize and rejuvenate your skin. Silk consists of 97% proteins, 3% fats and waxes and 18 amino acids, which have a positive effect on human metabolism. Silk massage saturates the skin with silk peptides, tones and improves blood circulation and gives a healthy glow to the skin.
When used with hot water, the moisturizing ingredient "sericin" contained in raw silk dissolves and moisturizes the skin. The golden color gradually fades with daily use, and the color fades after about 1 month, the recommended period of use is about 2-3 months.
The moisturizing ingredient sericin (protein) on the surface of the silk thread actively promotes skin hydration. The structural silk protein fibroin is a rich source of glycine, which is able to penetrate tissues, intensely hydrating the skin and stimulating cell regeneration processes. Fibroin retains moisture seven times better than other moisturizing components, and also increases skin elasticity and firmness. Fibroin silk thread actively moisturizes the skin.
