Such a joy to use 

This is a completely natural body scrub to gently exfoliate and deeply moisturise the skin, leaving it feeling soft, silky and visibly radiant. The first sensory pleasure to be experienced is the luscious, delectably sweet scent exuding from the Body Buff as it melts seductively into the skin. A warm embrace of fragrant steam issues forth, cosseting us in an elevated ritual of self-care. 

That delightfully edible smell of sugar, vanilla, orange and nourishing oils is fondly reminiscent of those childhood days baking cakes with our mum or our Nan when she let us lick the spoon. Brown Sugar Body Buff provides a much more effective cleanse than just using ordinary soap; by clearing the pores of congesting debris, there is an evident reduction in the occurrence of acne and breakouts. The restorative sugars enter deep into the pores to remove excess dirt and buff away flaky dry skin; while the nourishing oils enliven and tone the skin.

Tinderbox Refining Body Polish

Exfoliation is such an important part of skincare for several reasons; the key benefit is how it promotes cell turnover, which is essential for maintaining healthy skin. Removing the outer layer of dead skin reveals fresher, more radiant skin underneath. Regular exfoliation can help even out skin tone by fading dark spots, hyperpigmentation and sun damage. Clean, exfoliated skin allows for better absorption of moisturisers that can then penetrate deeper, making them more effective. Exfoliating frequently can help prevent ingrown hairs by keeping hair follicles clear. Brown Sugar Body Buff stimulates the circulation, bringing a natural glow to the skin while aiding lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness and promoting detoxification.

Keep sugar for the surface

Sugar may be bad for us when eaten; spiking our glucose levels and causing inflammation, however natural raw sugar is excellent in skincare for exfoliation. 

Sugar’s perfectly textured granules provide a gentle abrasive action that helps remove dead skin cells without being too harsh and dissolves with water to render the skin smoother and more even-textured. Lesser known, is how sugar is a rich source of Glycolic Acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that penetrates the skin and breaks down the bonds between dead skin cells, facilitating their removal. Sugar helps keep the skin hydrated and soft because it is a natural humectant that draws moisture from the environment into the skin, locking it in, making it particularly beneficial for dry skin. Compared to many chemical exfoliants that can irritate the skin, natural sugar is safe, gentle and suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin.

Cheerful orange and mandarin uplift

The uplifting and invigorating scent of orange and mandarin oil can certainly elevate our mood and reduce stress, which enhances the overall experience of using the body buff. Both oils possess numerous benefits for the skin, being rich in antioxidants that prevent premature aging and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Quality citrus oils are extracted from the peel of oranges using a mechanical process that doesn't involve heat, resulting in the natural flavours and nutrients being better preserved. These essential oils have anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce redness, swelling and irritation on the skin. Orange oil has natural antimicrobial properties, making it effective in fighting bacteria and other pathogens on the skin, which can help prevent and treat acne and other skin infections.

The vitamin C in orange oil helps to brighten the skin, giving it a more radiant and youthful appearance. It can help lighten dark spots and hyperpigmentation.

Orange oil can also help maintain the skin's moisture balance, preventing dryness and flakiness and is particularly beneficial for dry or sensitive skin.

The astringent witch-hazel extract in this product firms the skin and tightens pores, while the mineral-rich pumice removes bacteria and detritus from the skin’s pores, stimulating blood flow to the surface, promoting healthier, more vibrant skin. The healing and sensual synergy of all these ingredients definitely improves the overall health and vitality of the skin.

Simply rub over your body and feet while in a warm shower or bath, allowing the sugar to dissolve into the skin and release the gorgeous, yummy smell. Afterwards you'll smell and feel good enough to eat! Always moisturise after exfoliating to keep the skin supple and hydrated and to protect the newly revealed skin.
