• Loofah, body brush or Use the Sugar Scrub

• For Facial Polish Use Petals Facial Scrub

• Using Either Facial Polish Or Body Scrub you Will replace all Moisturizers.

How to exfoliate Skin

Before stepping into the shower, brush your dry skin with your hands running under the water. This will help remove the loose skin and prepare your skin for the exfoliating process. Begin with the soles of your feet, working your way up your body.

Get into the shower and wet your body from head to toe. With The Sugar Scrub it is OK to exfoliate your skin if you are sunburned or have any open cuts or wounds. It actually sooths your body expecially the Pepermint Body Scrub for your Feet.

If your feet are extremely rough, soak them in a basin of warm water mixed with a cup of milk for 30 minutes before getting into the shower.

Apply your exfoliating cleanser to your loofah or gloves. Begin scrubbing your body in a circular motion starting with the bottoms of your feet and working your way up. When you reach the bikini area, don’t scrub too hard because the skin is very sensitive.

Use a body brush to exfoliate your back and other hard-to-reach places.

Be gentle on your face, particularly around your eyes and mouth. Use an exfoliating product especially formulated for the face, which is gentler than products designed to be used on the body.

Don’t forget about your hands. You want them to look and feel soft and smooth too!

Rinse your body with lukewarm water, follow by the coldest water you can stand. Apply a shower gel to soften your skin, if you’d like.

After stepping out of the shower, apply a moisturizing body lotion all over. Body lotions and facial moisturizers containing alpha or beta hydroxy acids are ideal choices because these acids contine to remove dead skin cells.

Use Ojai Sugar Scrub once a day. Exfoliation is drying to the skin, so you must keep your skin hydrated with the all natural oils.

Ojai Sugar All Natural exfoliation for body and face will help you look and feel great in your own skin. Our blends contain no chemicals. We use plant based essential oils for fragrance and pure almond, coconut, and grape seed oils for moisturizing. Our all natural blends has a mixture of granulated and turbinado sugar. Our Facial Polish-Petals has a much finer grain of sugar for our delicate faces.Do yourself and skin a favor and exfoliate all the harsh pollutants from the environment and years of build up from chemicals in soaps and lotions that leave a film on the skin. As we age, our skin becomes less absorbent and congested from layers and layers of dead skin cells sitting on the surface; unable to breathe, and body lotions become less effective as a topical moisturizer. Try moisturizing your skin from the inside out. Exfoliation once a week is important to the overall health, look, and feel of your skin.
