Friday Easter indulgence: body scrub and mud wrap

28 Mar 2010 17:41 PM | Posted by Editor

Right beauties, our Easter long weekend indulgence program starts now, and it's time to get your body in tip-top shape!

Don't worry, i'm not about to send you on a 5km run!

This type of body shape-up is more of the beautifying kind, so get ready to relax, unwind and achieve your softest skin yet...

Day one: body scrub and mud wrap

Preparation: Choose your bed, or a comfy chair in your house and drape an old towel/sheet over it – this will be the place that you relax as your mud wrap sets, so be sure it’s well-covered to avoid any mess.

Program: Lather up in the shower with an exfoliating scrub such as Eminence Organic Skin Care Cranberry Pomegranate Sugar Scrub, to rid your body of any dead skin cells.

Rinse well, switch off the shower, and pat yourself dry, before smoothing on a rich body mud like, AHAVA Dead Sea Mineral Mud.

Head to your pre-chosen relaxation space and chill out for 15 minutes while the mud sets. Head back to the shower and rinse thoroughly – your body is guaranteed to be as smooth as silk!

How often do you use a body scrub?

I try to use a body scrub twice-weekly, but it ends up being more 'whenever I can', which is more like once a fortnight!

I try to do it once a week but if I feel my skin is getting too dry, like in winter, then I try to do it twice a week but sometimes I go through lazy periods where I just...forget..hehe

Not often enough - I'm so lazy about that sort of thing. I do tend to pick up body care more in Winter though, because my skin dries out - so out with the scrubs and the creams.

I use one 2 sometimes 3 times a week: I use a Lux one with exfoliating beads (Tahitian Escape) and it leaves my skin smooth and smelling yummy. One of my greatest luxuries, and it doesn't take long!

I love using body scrubs, they leave my skin glowing, and they make fake tanning so much easier lol

I use a light exfoliator on a loofah each time I shower, it keeps my skin blemish free and glowing. I definitely can tell the difference when we travel and I can't take my loofah along.

I exfoliate my face and body every week and do a moisture mask after. I don't think I have missed a week, I love having smooth skin. I don't exfoliate more than once a week as my skin is sensitive (I have experimented). I'd definitely give these products a try.

Twice a week but sometimes more if I'm applying a fake tan, just want to have smooth skin for a special occasion or just want to feel pampered because I have the time!

My current wash has exfoliating grains in it, but I like to do a really good scrub about once a week.

At least twice a week, sometimes more, I love how soft my skin feels after it. I'm using one from Mancine, with coconut and vanilla in it. YUM

Normally a couple of times a week, every time I shave I use one, and I regularly use an AHA one on my feet, it works exceptionally to remove any dead skin on my heels :)
