Its summer dress season !!!
There's nothing more luxurious than scooping out a handful of a deliciously scented body scrub, but did you know that many mainstream body scrubs can be full of nasty ingredients which do more harm than good? Mainstream scrubs can be too harsh on the skin, containing irritating ingredients which can leave the skin dry, stripped of its natural oils, and rubbed raw, not to mention the extremely environmentally dangerous plastic microbeads which end up in our waterways and are consumed by marine life.1 If you use lotions, sunscreen and body oils, the pores on your skin can become clogged with oil build up especially with mainstream product containing harsh chemicals. Regularly exfoliating your skin once or twice a week helps to speed up the skin's regeneration process, removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores to refresh, smooth and polish skin.
Why should we exfoliate?
Hormonal and dietary influences can affect your skin, causing dryness, bumps and spots on the skin's surface and a build up of sebum. Environmental conditions can also worsen the condition of your skin, with overexposure to wind and sun often causing further damage and flakiness to your face, body and lips , especially in the winter/ summer months. A natural abrasive, sugar granules can help to remove dry, flaky skin cells and brighten tired, dull looking skin to promote smooth, healthy and flawless skin. A build up of your skin's natural oils can often exacerbate conditions such as Keratosis Pilaris or Body Acne, so it's important to give your skin a helping hand to keep it unclogged and clarified by regularly exfoliating.
What are the benefits of Sugar scrubs?
Sugar makes an amazing abrasive ingredient in scrubs. It's a natural humectant, so it retains moisture and ensures skin is kept hydrated, making it ideal for delicate and sensitive skin, especially because it melts away upon contact with water. Sugar is also known to be a pure, natural source of Glycolic Acid, also known as an AHA, which helps to break down dead skin cells and encourage fresh cell turnover. It's extremely effective at treating mature skin while still being gentle and non-irritating on sensitive skin. Combined with our nourishing infused oils, sugar scrubs can be used before or during bathing for a thorough exfoliating treatment that leaves skin smooth, soft and supple. You might even find that your skin care products work more effectively on exfoliated skin, as pores are unclogged and able to retain more moisture. Getting rid of dry, dead skin cells helps to reveal smoother skin which can also prolong the life of your spray tans Or Just give your skin that desired glow!
