Rei-Freshed Sugar Scrub

The Benefits of Natural Sugar Exfoliation

Exfoliating is a timeless way of ensuring a healthy feeling and appearance of your skin. The simplest way to explain exfoliating is the process of removing excess dirt, oil and dead cells from the skin. Otherwise old cells build up on the surface of the body which can clog pores leading to irritation or acne.

Did you know there are multiple types of exfoliations? Each can have a different outcome on your body, with Rei Skincare it’s all about the sugar.

Why sugar you ask? Sugar particles are smaller than slat and thus less abrasive, avoiding the microscopic tearing that salt can cause which is great for sensitive skin. Sugar is also a natural “humectant” aka it draws moisture from the environment into your skin. Not to get too deep but glycolic acid in sugar breaks down the molecules that hold skin cells close together clear old and allowing younger cells to form easier.

The remaining ingredients in our formula; Madagascar vanilla bean infused jojoba oil, fractionated coconut oil, ashwagandha, tea tree, copaiba, tangerine, rosemary, reishi mushroom extract are all found in nature and free of chemicals. Each ingredient plays a role in keeping skin youthful and healthy feeling. Reishi mushrooms for example are known as the mushrooms of immortality because of their antioxidant capacity, they prevent free radicals from binding with healthy cells, protecting and supporting a youthful look.
