Sugar Scrubs F.A.Q. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
I've never used a
sugar scrub before. What exactly am
I missing? |
|
| |
A sugar scrub is a
great way to exfoliate (in other
words remove dead skin cells) and
moisturize your skin. It's the
closest thing we've found to having
a real spa experience, in just a
couple of minute’s right in your own
bathroom. It's simple, really. The
first thing you do when you open the
jar is to give your scrub a good
stir, because the oils come to the
top. Then just scoop out a little
into your hand and add just a little
water so it's easy to smooth on.
Then, grab your handy dandy bath
pouf (or a wash cloth will do as
well) and start scrubbin'. Now,
close your eyes and enjoy the
delicious scent that envelops you.
Once you've covered your body in
sugar go ahead and rinse. (This is
the part where you want to be
careful because the tub floor can
get slippery.) Once you exit the
bathtub or shower just pat yourself
dry with a towel. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
How often should I
use a scrub? |
|
| |
Well, really it's up
to you and your skin. Some of us are
scrub addicts and feel like it's not
really a shower if we don't scrub.
Others prefer to treat themselves
two or three times a week. Each
scrub is gentle enough to use
everyday - but everyone's skin is
different, so listen to your skin.
Warning: the smoothness is
definitely habit forming! Note:
Facial exfoliation should be done
2-3 times per week. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Can I keep my scrub
in the shower? |
|
| |
Well, you want to
keep it handy that's for sure. But
ideally, you should try to prevent
getting too much water into your
scrub. Use the spoon to stir it up
and scoop it out into your hand and
then add some water to apply to your
skin. Then be sure you close it up
tightly. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Do I need a
moisturizer after I scrub? |
|
| |
No! You'll be super
soft and smooth without adding
anything else! |
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Our scrubs have a
shelf life of about a year. The oils
we use are all stable for at least a
year and the antioxidants and
essential oils, add to that. But
really, using it when it's fresh is
the ultimate. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Yes, each scrub is
formulated to be all- natural and
safe for even the most sensitive
skin. The peppermint foot scrub is
powerful, so we don't recommend
using that on small children or
babies, but the others are fine.
Also, there is nothing in any
product that would be harmful to a
child if it was swallowed. We do
recommend that you keep all products
out of the reach of little ones (if
for no other reason, than to avoid a
mess!) just to be on the safe side. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
What's the difference
between the body scrub, the facial
scrub and the foot scrub? |
|
| |
The facial scrubs are
the gentlest exfoliators because
they contain a lower concentration
of sugar. They also contain more
Vitamin E, jojoba oil and grape seed
oil (all excellent ingredients for
your skin!) than the body scrubs.
Also, the three varieties of facial
scrub are all made from ingredients
that are especially loaded with
good-for-skin ingredients (see
individual product listings for
details). The body scrubs are more
aggressive exfoliators and come in a
wider variety of scents. The foot
scrub is the most heavy duty
exfoliator and also contains the
most serious moisturizer. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Why do the facial
scrubs cost more? |
|
| |
Because they contain
more expensive ingredients. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Can I use a facial
scrub on my body? |
|
| |
Sure, you can use a
facial scrub (gentlest) on your
body, but we don't recommend using a
body scrub (and definitely not the
foot scrub) on your face, especially
if you have sensitive skin. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
What exactly is in a Simple Sugars
scrub? |
|
| |
Well let's start by
telling you what's NOT in any of our
products. There are no artificial
preservatives, colors or scents in
any of our products. We start with
pure cane sugar, and then we add a
custom blend of all-natural oils
that we source from trusted and
certified suppliers. The blend,
depending on what type of scrub it
is, may contain one or more of the
following: soybean oil, grape seed
oil, rice bran oil, sesame oil,
safflower oil, jojoba oil, or sweet
cherry kernel oil. The scrubs
contain natural ingredients (for
example, lemonade contains fresh
lemon zest, milk chocolate contains
real milk chocolate etc.), essential
oils, and in some cases fragrance
oils. They also contain Vitamins C
and E as well as citric acid, which
balance the pH of the formulations. |

Can Simple Sugars scrubs make me
look younger, cure my acne, or keep
me from getting fine lines and
wrinkles??? |
|
| |
Let us be perfectly
clear here: Spa-Nique makes
absolutely no claims, whatsoever,
about the possible benefits using
our products may impart to your
skin. Here's what we know: we use
all-natural ingredients, that each
have a great profile - when it comes
to being healthy. We don't think you
should put anything on your skin
that you couldn't eat, if you had
to. We choose ingredients that have
loads of vitamins and antioxidants.
You will feel great knowing that
you're using an all-natural product
that doesn't contain parabens. And
if you happen to notice some skin
benefits for yourself....that's just
icing on the cake as far as we're
concerned. Of course, you should
always check with your doctor or
dermatologist if you have specific
questions about your skin. And if
for some reason you develop an
irritation from one of our scrubs
you should discontinue use
immediately. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
If
your scrubs don't contain
preservatives how do they stay free
of bacteria? |
|
| |
Our scrubs contain no
ARTIFICIAL preservatives. But quite
a few of our ingredients act as
preservatives. Vitamin E for
example. Also citric acid,
grapefruit seed oil extract, and the
essential oils themselves have
preservative (and often antiseptic)
qualities. Also, since our scrubs
are oil-based and not water-based,
they aren't good environments for
bacteria to grow. (Another reason
why we only make scrubs and not
lotions, creams, etc. ---those are
water based and need to be
preserved) |
|

|
| |
Does Strawberry really have
strawberries in it? |
|
| |
It sure does. And
vanilla has pure vanilla bean paste
and almond has real ground almonds
and coconut has real, organic
coconut, and well you get the idea. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
What if I'm allergic to nuts? |
|
| |
All of our products
are "nut-free" with the obvious
exception of the almond body scrub
(and, yes the almond is made with
separate tools in a different area
than the others to avoid possible
contamination). |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Why don't you make salt scrubs? |
|
| |
Well, it's just that
we like sugar better. Sugar is a
little more gentle than salt, and it
doesn't burn after you shave or if
you have a cut, and if you happen to
get some in your mouth while you're
scrubbing' away - it's tasty! (And
for the record: no! - We do not
recommend EATING the scrub!! ) |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Why doesn't your scrub come in a
bigger size than 8 oz.? |
|
| |
For one thing, the
fresher the scrub the better. For
another thing, we've found that most
of our customers like to have a
little variety when it comes to
their scrubs. For example, you might
need a lemonade or coffee jumpstart
in the morning, but prefer a
soothing, relaxing lavender scrub
for an evening bath. 8 oz should
last you about a month depending on
frequency of use. |
