Exfoliation Boosts Skin Health
Scrubs are great for exfoliating the top layer of skin. Exfoliating will allow moisturizers to penetrate to the deeper layers of skin. That's important during winter when out outer layers of skin are the driest. Exfoliation helps to keep your skin hydrated longer, too. This recipe uses all natural, skin nourishing ingredients that are easy to come by. This scrub will keep your skin glowing throughout the whole season- cold weather or not!
Sea Buckthorn Oil
Sea buckthorn berry oil contains omega-7. Omega-7 works wonders for skin health and cellular health. It keeps your skin well moisturized and can even help diminish acne and blemishes. Sea buckthorn oil's fatty acids are the building blocks of healthy cell membranes. This is why their oil is such a valuable resource for skincare. Coconut oil also contains fatty acids of its own.
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is well known for having many uses. That's often due to it's moisturizing and nourishing properties. Coconut oil has a high-fat content which may help it heal wounds, reduce rashes and prevent acne. These oils are special in the sense that instead of clogging your pores they help to cleanse them.
This face scrub has a powerful combination of fatty acids. With anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, the oils can keep your pores cleansed.
Brown Sugar
Sugar is a nice exfoliant and because it is a natural humectant, meaning it helps to moisturize the skin. The good thing about brown sugar is that it is less coarse than normal granulated sugar or salt. This makes for a more gentle face scrub when cleansing your face.
Exfoliating is important for your skin, but it's important to be careful while doing so. It's tempting to scrub hard to remove as much dead skin as possible. That's not necessary to keep your skin clean. It's best to be gentle and consistent with your skin. Being more aggressive may do nothing but cause damage.
The holiday season can be a stressful time for many people. Mint helps to relax your muscles and your mind. Peppermint oil has also shown to help people feel more energized and focused.
