Winter is here in South Africa and your skin more than ever needs all the TLC and self-pampering! Common winter skin problems are dry, dull and cracked skin. Depending on where you are geographically located, the winter climate affects your skin. Here is an interesting and academic read about the climate in SA. Jillian, is this article even relevant?🥱 You might ask. What does climate have to do with skin, sister?
Climate and skin care are related because the climate you reside in affects how your skin behaves. You need to know and understand how the climate is treating your skin. How you care for your skin in winter is different to how you do it in summer. During the rainy season, the air has more moisture in it meaning your skin, happily bask in it and needs lighter moisturization. Whilst during the dry cold winter season like here in Johannesburg, Darling, you need all the help that you can get to keep your skin moisturized because the climate is dry. Moisture is your best friend!
Now that we all understand how the skin needs extra TLC in winter and the importance of water. There are many ways to keep the skin healthy in winter such as ensuring that you drink LOTS of water (even though you don’t feel like it because its so cold!) but the aim is to keep hydrated. Therefore, soups, teas, pure juices, etc. can also do the trick of keeping the skin hydrated. My focus here today, is exfoliation, to ensure healthy skin in winter.
Our spanking brand-new CBD Oil Body Scrub removes dead skin cells from the surface of the skin and other impurities from pollution and/or stress. So, when the dead skin cells are removed, new skin cells are generated and more oxygen flows into them. The result is baby soft, smooth and glowing new skin!
We chose brown sugar as the main ingredient because it is very gentle on the skin. CBD oil is anti-inflammatory so it ensures that the skin is protected from getting irritated by scrubbing. Coconut oil is a penetrative oil, it is quickly and easily absorbed by the skin. Olive oil even when used individually is a great moisturizer. As part of the scrub, it means that the skin is still moisturized whilst it is undergoing renewal! Those are the natural ingredients of Jillie’s Natural CBD Oil Body Scrub. No chemicals! No harmful add-ons! 100% NATURAL SKINCARE.
To prepare your skin for exfoliation, first ensure that your body is wet. Don’t apply the scrub directly onto dry skin. Gently apply the scrub on the body in relaxed circular motion all over the body. Like Daniel Son from the original Karate Kid Movie, wax on and wax off 🙂 Do not apply too much pressure on the body, the scrub will do its job. The gentle massage increases the blood circulation around the skin. Wash off the scrub with warm bath or shower water.
After drying your body, ensure that you apply our Body Soufflé or the CBD Body Oil. This is essential so that your new born skin is moisturized. Do not think that because the scrub has oil, it will moisturize the body – no. You must apply a moisturizer after exfoliation, I beg o! Remember to exfoliate regularly so that you maintain your healthy-looking skin.
