Prepare your skin for winter the natural way and save money!
Avoid spending money on an exfoliating product and use our Earth’s natural resources. Most products contain added chemicals and alcohol to your skin...this having the opposite effect to smoothing, brightening and achieving a radiant complexion, causing dehydration, sensitivity, excess oil production and accentuating the signs of ageing.
All Natural Exfoliants…
Sugar
Sugar is full of a product known as glycolic acid that people spend a fortune on, purchasing products and treatments containing this due to its benefits of decreasing fine lines and wrinkles by resurfacing dead skin cells. When added to a natural oil such as grapeseed or olive oil it makes a fantastic exfoliant with the added nourishment for dry skin from the oil.
Oatmeal
A gentle exfoliant for sensitive skin. Oatmeal works best when whole oats are ground and water is added to a paste. An additional benefit of oatmeal is it absorbs oil therefore can be used as a multi purpose cleanser and exfoliator.
Sea salt
The granules are large and coarse and so when mixed with oil are perfect for a deep exfoliation and for larger areas of the body, even preparing your body before a fake tan.
Fresh ground Coffee
Caffeine is known to decrease puffiness around the eyes and can be used to remove dead skin cells at the same time. You can use fresh or those that you have already brewed.
Ground Almonds
Almond powder is chemical free and nutrient rich method of exfoliating. When added to a small amount of water, almond powder will leave the skin feeling soft without leaving residue behind.
Exfoliating your skin 2-3 times a week by massaging your product firmly in small circular movements is one of the best ways to give your skin a natural healthy glow. Your new skin cells will regenerate quicker leaving your skin looking younger.
