BODY SCRUB with oily seeds, 1 kg

TREATMENT RECOMMENDATIONS

For hammam and sauna treatments: The scrub is rubbed into wet, warm skin in circular motion for 3-5 minutes until a pleasant heat is felt. Deep cleansing encourages skin cell regeneration, prevents the sebaceous glands from clogging and forming blackheads. Skin becomes smoother and thinner. Improving blood circulation allows for the other cosmetics to be better absorbed.

Sea salt and the oily seed particles in the scrub help to cleanse the skin. They remove the hardened surface layer of the skin by polishing it. It is very important to restore the skin’s natural pH and oiliness of the skin when exfoliating. The oily seed flour made up from linseed and mustard seeds in the scrub contains vegetable fats, vitamins and various organic acids that nourish the skin with plant-based biologically active compounds and restore the skin’s natural pH. Natural vegetable fatty oils lubricate and soften the skin, as well as prevent it from drying out. They do not leave any excess oil on the skin. As a result, it is not recommended to use soap or shower gel after the exfoliating treatment due to their drying and dehydrating qualities that remove the natural protective layer formed by the scrub.

 The recommended amount of the scrub mix for one person is 80-90g.

1kg yields 10-12 treatments.

Storage: keep in a dark, cool place. Essential oils and other biologically active compounds oxidise and lose their aromatherapeutic properties when kept in direct sunlight!
