VALENTINE’S DAY BODY SCRUB
If you are looking for the perfect body scrub for Valentine’s Day, with completely natural ingredients, you have come to the right place! This richly red colored, natural body scrub works beautifully and has a nice, fresh fruity scent. The deep red color of this body scrub is created naturally by using beet root powder*. Additionally, beets are highly beneficial for your skin.
BEETS IN SKINCARE
Beets can stimulate cell reproduction and repair. They are also high in antioxidants, which help to protect the skin from damage from our environment. Topically, beets are most commonly known to keep the skin hydrated and glowing. This combination of hydration and repair is perfect for a sweet smelling body scrub!
ALOE VERA
Aloe Vera has been used in skin care for centuries as a moisturizing emollient. This natural moisturizer can also be used as a topical remedy for bites, burns, infections, inflammation and swelling.
OVERALL BENEFITS
Using a body scrub will help slough off dead skin cells and make your skin feel soft and smooth. Having nourishing, natural ingredients in a scrub will help replenish the skin and give it a glowing complexion. Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to try out a sweet smelling body scrub.
