Recently I received 6 product from Reviva Labs for review.  One thing that I have noticed with the products is that my 19 year old Daughter Jayme is swiping them from me on a regular basis, so we are both using and reviewing.  I also know that if she's using on consistently that she really likes them as much as I do. The first product that I want to share with you is the Reviva Labs Microdermabrasion Pomegranate Scrub with pure Magnesium Oxide and Organic Oils.  This can be used with all skin types, even sensitive skin which both Jayme and I have.  It helps retexturize skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles or rough skin by using gentle magnesium oxide crystals and pomegranate instead of abrasive aluminum oxide.  It also uses a complex of organic oils to further avoid irritation as it exfoliates and removes impurities. The directions for usage:   After regular cleansing, apply small amount on damp face and gently massage in for 2-3 minutes...
