Spa Scrubs and Body Scrubs   Spas around the world believe exfoliating is a very important part of skin care and have been using Nourish Spa Scrubs and Body Scrubs for years. Now, you can have the same spa experience at home and use the same products found in famous Spas worldwide.   Spa scrubs are formulated for two very important purposes. One, they gently exfoliate the skin and provide healing and soothing effects for the skin depending on the formulation Two, they provide invigorating – or relaxing - aromatherapy. What is exfoliation and why is it important?    Exfoliation removes and “scrubs” the outer layer of skin – removing dead skin cells - that accumulate naturally.  Approximately every three weeks, the skin that you shed is flattened dead and tightly bound together to form a layer that promotes and harbours dirt, oil, and bacteria.  When you remove the dead layer of skin, you not only reveal youthful, vibrant and younger looking skin, but you cleanse and invigorate new, healthy skin cell development.   It’s important to exfoliate periodically to maintain healthy, softer skin and to help increase circulation – which stimulates healthy skin. Exfoliation should be performed at least once per week. Let’s take a closer look at one of the most popular Nourish Spa and Body Scrubs.   Coffee Bean and Cream Scrub is one of Nourish’s most stimulating scrubs.  The Coffee Bean Scrub contains finely ground coffee beans which is known as a strong antioxidant that helps maintain moisture and heal damaged skin while fighting skin-aging free-radicals.   It contains ingredients that are beneficial, such as Shea butter which is an extravagant moisturizer and emollient. Emollients soften and smooth the skin. Shea butter is known for its healing properties and for leaving the skin shining and smooth.  Shea butter penetrates the skin giving it a moisturizing shine.   Apricot oil is a light-weight oil known for its abilities to penetrate the skin. It is high in Vitamin A and E, soothes the skin and helps to maintain healthy moisture balance.   Vitamin E is a great healing source and has a variety of skin healing benefits.  A rich mixture of glycerides and fatty acids is what locks the moisture in and protects the skin from drying out. It is important to protect your skin. Vitamin E has been used for treatment of psoriasis, scars and even the prevention of skin cancer. It also helps to maintain the oil balance in your skin.   Body Scrubs replenish and make the skin feel good as new.  It is said that if rubbed over the area of interest, the scrub can actually smooth out cellulite to give you a firmer tight look. After using the Coffee Bean Body Scrub and towel drying, it is important for you to use a moisturizing lotion or body butter to lock in the moisture.     Now you can pamper yourself at home in your own bathroom with a spa treatment leaving your skin with that vibrant younger, youthful looking skin.   Helps maintain moisture Heals damaged skin Softens and smoothes skin Soothing dry damaged skin Learn more about body and spa scrubs.
