I just did a body wrap on one of my regular clients, the
"Total Body Bliss". I was reminded of the importance of exfoliating
the body. This is an amazing treatment that includes warm compresses with
essential oils, an herbal nutrient rich mud that nourishes and detoxifies the
skin, and an application of rich, softening coconut oil. All these
amazing organic products are made to penetrate and nourish, as well as draw
impurities from the skin. However, what allows them to really be effective
and do their job is proper exfoliation. Removing the dry surface skin cells
allows nutrients to penetrate and oils and toxins to work their way out to be
cleansed. Without exfoliation oils and dry skin remain in the pores causing
congestion and blocking the nutrients from entering our skin.
There are different types of exfoliants: granular, enzyme, and
natural fruit acids. Jurlique and Eminence have great organic body exfoliants. Jurlique
Exfoliating Body Gel contains ground walnut and lactic acid as well as
nourishing essential oils. Eminence "Naseberry Body Lotion" is
an exfofoliant and moisturizer in one, which contains a gentle natural fruit
acid from the naseberry. The dry body brush is a traditional European technique
of lighty brushing the body with a dry brush to help lymphatic drainage,
increase circulation, and remove dry skin.
