This Orange & Grapefruit Facial Scrub uses a delicate blend of unrefined sea salt (Soil Association certified) and organic sunflower seed oil. The fine grain salt gently exfoliates the skin and sloughs away dirt and dead skin cells whilst the sunflower seed oil feeds and moisturises the freshly, smooth skin, leaving your skin feeling polished, soft and heavenly. We use fine grain sea salt for a gentle exfoliant compared to course sea salt which tends to be abrasive. The combination of orange and grapefruit essential oils make this facial scrub ideal for those with oily, spot prone and inflamed skin.
Our sunflower seed oil is cold pressed and organic for the ultimate in skincare. Sunflower seed oil is non-comedogenic and therefore does not clog the pores (which can create break-outs). Anti-oxidant rich sunflower seed oil helps neutralise free radicals which can damage our skin cells. Helping promote cell regeneration, this wonder oil is anti-inflammatory and is therefore ideal for many a skin condition where the skin becomes inflamed. The vitamin E that is naturally abundant in sunflower seed oil helps protect the collagen and elastin in the skin and is therefore considered anti-aging. This light and golden oil is also high in vitamin A which is a natural anti-oxidant and like vitamin E helps regenerate the skin cells.
For the uplifting, astringent boost we’ve added organic orange and grapefruit essential oils.
Orange essential oil boosts the mood and is an anti-depressant and even an aphrodisiac. It is excellent for the skin with its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties making it ideal for acne, dermatitis and uncomfortable skin conditions. It even aids the reduction of dark spots, thanks to the vitamin C content. Orange essential oil promotes circulation whilst simultaneously reducing enlarged pores and firming the skin.
Grapefruit Essential oil is mentally uplifting & stimulating citrus oil that is anti-oxidant, antiseptic and anti-microbial which makes it perfect for cleansing the skin. With its anti-viral properties, it boosts the lymphatic system so can help with freeing the body of toxins. Oily skin can benefit from grapefruit as it helps reduce the overproduction of sebum. Excess sebum is oily skin. By aiding the skin to regenerate, grapefruit can help maintain youthful and glowing skin.
