Botanik Mask Body Scrub, powdered body exfoliator, organic and 100% natural

After months of work at the Herbera laboratory, we can finally announce with great fanfare that our BOTANIK MASKS are seeing the light of day. Today we want to tell you about BOTANIK MASK BODY SCRUB, so you can discover why we think a good body exfoliation is essential, why this powder format, and above all, we want you to know the reason for every ingredient we have used. Let's get started!

First of all, what do we call exfoliation?

Exfoliation is the process by which a controlled destruction and subsequent removal of the most superficial dead skin cells is produced.

What are the benefits of a body scrub?

• Removes the layer of dead cells from the stratum corneum of the epidermis, which stimulates the natural process of cell regeneration.
• Removes dirt that accumulates on the skin's surface, reducing the likelihood of blackheads or ingrown hairs forming.
• Promotes blood microcirculation and the lymphatic system, eliminating toxins and helping to reduce flaccidity and combat cellulite.
• Increases skin luminosity. New cells are better nourished and oxygenated, giving the skin a natural glow.
• Properly exfoliated skin is more receptive to absorbing any active ingredient we apply afterwards.

Why use a powdered exfoliating mask?

The powder format has allowed us to offer you a multifunctional product. You have before you a 3-in-1: treatment, cleansing, and exfoliation, depending on how you use it. Furthermore, this format allows you to mix it with other products that provide extra benefits, such as creams, oils, water, gels, yogurt, etc. Experiment! And above all, tell us about it!

Most importantly: it allows us to do without preservatives and thus create a 100% natural scrub based on micronized organic plants, cereal flours, clays, and organic essential oils. And finally, it lasts longer. Just one teaspoon is enough for the whole body, and you can use the product right down to the last grain!

What does our BOTANIK MASK BODY SCRUB have that will get you hooked?

• Organic Arrowroot Flour: arrowroot is obtained from the tropical plant Maranta arundinacea and has the ability to absorb moisture and mattify the skin. It provides a hydrating, soothing, and softening effect.
• Ghassoul: this clay is formed from volcanic ash deposits buried under high pressure for thousands of years in the Atlas region of Morocco. It is the mineral-richest clay, and due to its concentration of saponins, it has the ability to clean the skin without removing its protective film, respecting the barrier function and balancing the natural pH.
• Oat flour: oats help to clean without destroying the hydrolipidic layer that naturally protects the skin. In addition, its phosphorus content reduces the hardness of the water, which results in a softening and relaxing action. It produces a hydrating effect on the skin thanks to its lipids and hygroscopic substances, as they form a protective barrier on the skin against aggression and prevent transepidermal water loss.
• Pink clay: promotes the arrival of oxygen to the capillaries that nourish the dermis, providing a revitalizing effect.
• Olive and almond pits: the ground particles perform a mechanical exfoliation on the skin, facilitating the detachment of corneocytes and thus favoring skin regeneration.
• Organic micronized orange: we pulverize the peel of organic oranges to extract their antioxidant properties and thus achieve luminous and revitalized skin.
• Organic orange essential oil: Due to its high limonene content, it has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. It is also very rich in Vitamin C. In aromatherapy, it helps calm stress and promotes relaxation of the body and mind.

How to use it?

When we hear body exfoliation, we imagine the typical sisal glove and unpleasant massages locked in the bathroom. Forget all that and enjoy the benefits of body exfoliation in the shower, any day, in the same amount of time it takes you to get ready for work. But if you want to pamper yourself as if you were in a spa, that is also possible thanks to the mask function. We explain it all to you:

• EXFOLIATION IN THE SHOWER: One tablespoon is enough; put it in the palm of your hand and mix it with a few drops of body oil. Once you have a sort of clay paste, you can apply it all over your body, using circular, upward motions. Focus on the buttocks, elbows, heels, and knees, and avoid the chest and décolletage area. Then rinse off and you are ready. You step out of the shower with exfoliated and hydrated skin (we recommend doing this once a week).

• MASK: If you have more time, you can leave it applied like a mask all over your body for about 10 or 15 minutes. Then rinse with warm water and finish with a splash of cold water. In this case, you can replace the oil with water, lie back in the tub, and enjoy the detoxifying properties of the clays as if you were in a spa.
