We all know the benefits of “me time” for wellness. How about if I told you that you could improve your skin whilst de-stressing? A body scrub removes dead skin cells, increases blood circulation and cleanses skin through exfoliation. It consists of a liquid base with exfoliating granules which slough off dead skin when you massage it over your body. This action boosts blood circulation and drains your lymph nodes by increasing the blood flow to your skin’s surface. The result? GLOW!As body scrubs remove dead skin and impurities, they leave your skin feeling soft and revitalized. This is especially important in rough areas like elbows and knees. The exfoliating action of the scrub helps prevent ingrown hair and makes hair removal easier.  Exfoliating dead skin cells removes dullness from skin and increases blood circulation. Thus, getting a body scrub regularly will help make your skin look more vibrant and youthful.Exfoliation opens up your pores which allows easy absorption of moisturiser into it Scrubbing has a relaxing feeling which helps relieve stress.  Instantly transform your skin and reveal a supple, smooth complexion with the latest launch from Blumáin Organic Skincare – Mandarin & Himalayan Salt Scrub (RRP €39). 

A feature in many skincare wardrobes, Body Scrubs have been adored for years, but often treated as more of an occasional indulgence than a shower staple. Regular usage offers a myriad of benefits – from the removal of dead skin cells, unclogging pores, preventing ingrown hairs and even ridding you of stubborn fading tan. The fuss-free process will leave you feeling silky smooth and better able to absorb moisturisers, making it an essential step to add to your shower routine.

The vegan & cruelty-free Mandarin & Himalayan Salt Scrub offering from Blumáin Organic Skincare transports you to a tropical paradise, whilst buffing and caring for the complexion thanks to a unique, skin-loving blend of ingredients.

The key compound, Himalayan Salt, has long been revered as a skincare multitasker. Foraged from the foothills of the Himalayan mountains, the uniquely pink-toned grains may seem small but are mighty. Described as a ‘Super Slougher’ the salt grains remove dead skin cells while promoting circulation and turnover, while the sea salt is known to clean the skin at a deeper level, absorbing dirt and toxins, all the while offering natural antibacterial properties, leaving you with a refined and purified feel.

The addition of Coconut Oil and Sweet Almond Oil leaves you instantly moisturised while soothing dry skin, improving complexion and tone. The duo also packs a punch when it comes to added benefits. With antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, the coconut oil acts as a protective layer that sits on top of the skin, locking in moisture while preventing transepidermal water loss, while the Sweet Almond Oil is full of natural Vitamin A, which is a well-known treatment for acne, and Vitamin E, which can aid in healing sun damage, reduce signs of ageing and fade scars.

The infusion of Mandarin & Grapefruit essential oils offer a gorgeous, uplifting scent, instantaneously transporting you to a tropical, faraway island paradise.
