Lavender Vanilla Facial Scrub

I would like to take a moment to talk about one of my best selling products in my etsy shop! My Lavender Vanilla Facial Scrub! Why do I love this scrub! Because the quality ingredients leave my skin feeling so fresh, clean, and moisturized while making my skin look radiant! How does it do this? The scrub gently gets rid of rough dry, dead skin that is just sitting on your face (yucky) with cleansing brown sugar and soothing lavender buds and moisturizes at the same time with the quality ingredients of vitamin e, sweet almond oil and honey.
Lets take a deeper look into the qualities of these key ingredients;

Honey was used by the great Cleopatra in ancient times. It is wonderful for anti-aging, it attracts moisture to your skin and is also antibacterial and it has been said that honey helps in removing skin blemishes. ( I like to do a honey mask once a week along with this scrub!)

Sweet Almond Oil is so gentle it is good for virtually any skin type. Its great for helping improve circulation and has been said that it make skin glow. It is a wonderful moisturizer, it soothes irritation and inflammation and leaves your skin feeling smooth and soft.

Brown Sugar is full of glycolic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid that is crucial for maintaining healthy skin and is usually a key ingredient in pricey products. The natural glycolic acid in sugar not only helps condition and moisturize skin, but protect it from toxins. Brown sugar is gentler than salt and other sugars , making it ideal for super-sensitive skin.

And we all know how great Vitamin e oil is for our skin! Vitamin e is great for anti aging, scar reduction, helps prevent and minimize the appearance of age spots and strengthens the skin!
