Description

With its base of Himalayan salt, Sweet Almond oil and Vitamin E this salt scrub nourishes, hydrates and repairs skin. It gently removes dead skin cells and unclogs pores, whilst drawing out impurities, leaving a rejuvenated appearance and radiant skin. It may also help reduce scars and protect against environmental damage.

The added essential oils not only give this salt scrub a wonderfully fresh and energising aroma but offer many other benefits too.

Black pepper has a warming effect that stimulates circulation, helping to detoxify the skin and reduce muscle soreness, tension, and stiffness, making it ideal for post-workout recovery or areas of chronic pain or soreness. It can also help protect the skin from environmental stressors and promote a healthy complexion by fighting off bacteria. Sandalwood can help reduce skin irritation and calm inflammation, making it beneficial for conditions like acne or eczema. It may help even out skin tone and promote a glowing, healthy appearance. Cedarwood is good for tightening and toning the skin, which can help minimise the appearance of pores, supporting skin regeneration and contributing to healthier skin. Vanilla has soothing properties that help moisturise and calm dry, irritated skin. Its antioxidant content helps protect the skin from oxidative stress and promotes the healing of damaged skin cells.

The combination of sandalwood, cedarwood, and vanilla creates a grounding, calming, and comforting aroma that can reduce stress and anxiety. The act of massaging the scrub into the skin can also have a soothing, meditative effect on the body, promoting relaxation and emotional balance. Black pepper is known for its stimulating and invigorating properties, which can help combat fatigue and uplift mood, making the scrub not only physically rejuvenating but also emotionally energising. Sandalwood and cedarwood have been used for centuries in meditation and aromatherapy to promote mental clarity, reduce stress, and create a sense of peace. The grounding qualities of these oils can help release tension and bring emotional balance. The sweet, warm scent of vanilla is comforting and nurturing, evoking a sense of warmth and security. Using the scrub can be an act of self-care that nurtures both the body and mind, promoting feelings of self-love and relaxation.

Spiritually both sandalwood and cedarwood are often used in spiritual practices for grounding, centring, and enhancing meditation. They promote a deeper connection to the earth and can help align your energies, creating a sense of calm and stability. Sandalwood, especially, is prized for its ability to clear the mind, helping to deepen meditation, facilitate mental clarity, and promote a sense of spiritual awareness. The Himalayan salt and black pepper promote physical detoxification through exfoliation and stimulation of circulation, but they can also symbolically support the release of emotional toxins, allowing you to “shed” old patterns and start fresh.
