Sugar Scrubs
The whole world has gone wild over a new fad on the beauty market, sugar scrubs. If you haven’t heard of, or tried a sugar scrub yet, you are in for a real treat!
The reason sugar scrubs work so well is because of their dual action. When the scrub is rubbed into your skin, the fine sugar granules gently slough off dead skin cells on the top of the skin while the oils and butters provide deep moisturizing. The result is extremely soft, silky smooth skin that is both renewed and revitalized.
Sugar scrubs are comprised of several ingredients, the main being…you guessed it… sugar! The other ingredients in a sugar scrub may vary from company to company, but generally include deep moisturizing oils or butters such as Sweet Almond Oil, Grapeseed Oil, or Shea Butter. We are approaching warmer and warmer weather and with that said, overexposure to the elements, swimming, or just plain neglect can cause your skin to become scaly, dry, flaky or itchy. Your skin is made of multiple layers, each with its own purpose. The outermost layer can become covered with dead, dry cells that are essentially debris and are ready for removal. Bathing cleans away excess oil and dirt, but leaves the dead skin. An abrasive is needed to remove this layer. Exfoliants, including body scrubs, remove the dead skin allowing the supple, younger looking skin underneath to be seen and felt. Our Body Scrubs are designed to remove the surface layer while providing nourishment and moisturizers for the layers underneath. The scrub scents soothe the mind and each treatment includes a rich application of hydrating lotion and a cascading waterfall of our Vichy Shower.
Sugar and salt scrubs have become a part of my daily ritual. Once I experienced the benefits of exfoliating my skin with a nourishing sugar scrub…….I can’t live without them! I just love me a good body scrub. Winter or summer, I need my skin to be soft and smooth. Hey, I work with my hand all day and I need them to look healthy and feel smooth.
