Exfoliation is an ideal way to fuel skin renewal in the shower. Skin care brand Basq—best known for its pregnancy products but manages to keep mama on board afterwards—excelled in formulating its Lavender Sugar Skin Perfecting Scrub ($20). Why? The smell and feel are both amazing!
The natural acids in a key component—sugar—sweep away dull, itchy surface skin prompting cellular renewal in the lower layers. Trigger repair deep down where damage, loss of tone and stretch marks occur. As you polish, thirsty skin pulls in nutrients. Whipped shea butter and nourishing essential oils (mostly relaxing lavender) work quickly for intense skin fortification.
Sugar is the secret weapon here for damage repair. According to sources at Basq, unlike salts which can be drying and seeds which can cause micro tears to the skin, sugar is the perfect polisher for the body. The rich natural glycolic acids in sugar help release dry, dull skin which triggers cell turnover.
Overall, this is a very luxe product which has value to the user by way of lasting in the shower for a long time (a little goes a long way) and the scent is simply amazing!
