What is a sugar body scrub?
Sugar body scrubs are used to exfoliate, cleanse and nourish the skin.
They increase circulation while softening and smoothing the skin,
imparting a healthy radiant glow. Exfoliation removes the dead skin
cells and surface dirt, allowing your skin to function more efficiently
and absorb more moisture. This encourages new cell growth and improves
the appearance of the skin. However, too much vigorous rubbing can
irritate the skin so don't overdo it: start gently. Ideally you should
exfoliate about once a week.
How to use a sugar body scrub:
It is best start with a nice, clean body. Have a shower or bath first.
There is no need to towel off, as the sugar scrub goes nicely onto damp
skin. The oil in the scrub will seal in the moisture to your skin.
Give the jar of sugar scrub a good stir and spoon some into a small
bowl or cup. You can scoop it right out of the jar but you will need
to stir it again. Stand in your bathtub, shower or lay a towel somewhere
comfortable. Gently rub the sugar scrub over your body, being carefully
not to get any in your eyes. Pay extra attention to less sensitive
areas--especially where the skin is rough, such as your feet and elbows.
Feel your skin come alive. When you are finished, have a quick rinse
off in the shower to remove the sugar bits. There is no need to use
any soap. Don't rub too hard, as you want to leave as much of the oils as possible
in place to work their magic.
If you are lucky enough to do this with a friend, take turns pampering
each other. Each jar contains enough for approximately 5 to 10 whole
body scrubs, depending on your body size.
If you like your scrub a little more oily just add more of our infused
organic, cold pressed, extra virgin oils (Lavender and Calendula).
If you prefer a drier scrub, add more organic sugar.
