Exfoliation should be a part of every skincare regimen. If you’ve never done it
(with the right exfoliate, one that actually does something – not the usual
cream with a few seeds or synthetic molecules thrown in to the mix but a real
scrub), you will be amazed at how effective this product is for unclogging
pores, promoting healthy, speedy turnover of skin cells, balancing our oil
production, purifying the pores of toxins and dirt and smoothing skin tone,
creating a radiant, fresh overall look and feel. -
Salt Scrubs Salt scrubs are generally more abrasive because of their sharper
edges and, therefore, do a better job at smoothing the rough skin of the body.
What really separates salt scrubs from sugar scrubs is that they offer
therapeutic, mineralization benefits. Most salt scrubs use sea salts, which are
natural purifiers that remove the toxins that block the pores of the skin. It
helps the skin breath easier, promotes better circulation, tightens the skin and
improves skin texture. There are many sea salts used in scrubs including
Himalayan, Mediterranean, Hawaiian and Dead Sea Salts from Israel. These various
salts have different trace minerals, which include calcium, magnesium,
potassium, copper and iron. The minerals help to promote circulation, reduce the
inflammatory response, and act as a detoxifying agent and general muscle
relaxant -
Sugar Scrubs
Sugar scrubs are gentler than salt scrubs because the granule is round and
therefore doesn’t have any ability to “cut” the skin. It’s a far better choice
for sensitive skin types and the only choice for the face. Sugar granules
dissolve more easily in hot water, and they are less abrasive than salt scrubs.
cWhile sugar scrubs don’t have the mineral benefits of salt scrubs, they are less
drying, and many natural scrubs now use natural sugars which contain the
nutritive properties of sugar cane. Because of the smaller, finer granules,
sugar scrubs make a gentle exfoliant that is suitable for next to all skin types
and conditions. The glycolic acid content of sugar is another plus, helping to
protect skin against harmful toxins. Vital for the maintenance of healthy skin,
this acid works to both condition and moisturize. Even for seriously rough and
dry skin, sugar scrubs are great because sugar sizes come in fine, medium and
course. But choose your scrubs wisely. Do not use a body scrub on your face –
it’s too rough. Sugar also has the benefit of melting as you use it, from the
heat of your skin, so you can customize the product based on your personal skin
type and need. For all these reasons, sugar is my personal favorite as scrub
hero!
Whether one chooses a salt or sugar scrub, used regularly, the skin will
become much healthier in function and appearance—better circulation and with a
more even skin tone. Once dead skin cells are removed, the largest organ of the
body works more effectively to remove toxins and absorb nourishment. Best of
all, because both are pure products, there are few, if any side effects, so the
natural glow is exactly that… natural! -
Come on in and get healthy skin.... ahhhhh
