salt, sugar, oil, honey and your body

everyone has a little all-service spa at home. You may have not discovered it yet or you may only take your time with your face and a quick shower or a bath. I’ll share a little step that will elevate even the quickest of showers with a bespoke, easy to make at home scrub.

This potion is nothing complicated yet the softness and suppleness of your skin will blow your mind once you step out of your shower.

Without further ado, here’s my quick and easy body gommage.

You’ll need:

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup salt
1/2 cup olive oil
1 Tbsp of honey
A few drops of any essential oils of your choosing (optional)

Directions:

Mix all ingredients together with spoon and put in an 8-ounce glass jar or whatever glass dish you have available.

Yield: ~ 8 ounces

Tips: use it to exfoliate your lips, cuticles on your toes and fingers, your booty and lower back, the back of your neck and under the chin. All over means all over but we do overlook some spots that need extra renewing and moisture.

Once the scrub is all over, leave it on for 5 minutes. Breathe deeply. Rinse under the shower or by dipping into a bath.

Be careful not to slip! I run hot water with a few drops of soap or shampoo to wash the oil remnants off the tub.

Enjoy the ritual,

Svetlana

Rose Soufflé Cloud Masque - Limited Edition

$ 30.00

Description

Meet the Rose Soufflé, a collagen-boosting, antioxidant-packed masque designed to heal, hydrate, and rejuvenate the skin. We first introduced this innovative formula over a decade ago, as part of a 4 step Spring treatment series. This year, we are bringing this powerhouse masque back as a limited edition treatment.

The pillow-like texture of this gorgeous treatment feels like floating on a cloud of rose petals. The spotlight of the Rose Soufflé is the harmonious sweetness of honey mixed with the Queen of Flowers, the Rose. Potent yet skin soothing ingredients like MSM and Rose harmonize the skin and the senses. Willow Bark is a natural BHA alternative that is extracted from mature willow bark and works like a gentle form of salicylic acid to help to unclog and minimize the appearance of pores. Evening Primrose protects and replenishes skin with high levels of antioxidants.
