• Milk or Cream: This treatment, with its relatively thin consistency, requires a generous amount of exfoliant to be incorporated, however, it does create a very gentle body scrub that will leave skin radiant and nourished. The lactic acid in dairy acts as a mild alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), providing exfoliation, collagen stimulation, and improved elasticity, making it suitable for most skin allergies and promoting overall skin health.
• Oils: Rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants, oils offer deep hydration and create a protective barrier to seal in moisture, promoting a radiant complexion. Certain oils, like jojoba and argan, available in our carrier oil range, possess anti-inflammatory properties that soothe irritated skin and regulate sebum production, making them suitable for both oily and dry skin types and aiding in cell regeneration.
• Honey: Honey’s antibacterial and antimicrobial properties effectively combat acne-causing bacteria, reducing breakouts, while its exfoliating qualities make it a natural addition to spa treatments. Acting as a humectant, honey retains moisture, preventing dryness, and its antioxidant-rich composition shields the skin from free radicals, promoting a youthful, radiant complexion.
• Lotion: Combining our Botany Native Flora Body Lotion with an exfoliant not only saves product but also ensures a balanced blend. With a ratio of one part exfoliant to two parts lotion, this method maximises exfoliation while enhancing moisturisation, all while encapsulating granules for precise application and minimal waste. Our lotion, enriched with vitamin-rich Australian extracts, delivers a lightweight formula packed with nourishing oils, leaving skin soft and supple without residue, making it our top choice for a full-body scrub.
• Avocado: A great vegan option, avocado is rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants, deeply nourishing and hydrating the skin while repairing its natural barrier. Its high oleic acid content makes it particularly beneficial for dry and sensitive skin, with added vitamin E providing antioxidant protection against free radicals, while its natural oils soothe inflammation and irritation.
• Yoghurt: Rich in lactic acid, yogurt serves as a natural exfoliant, like milk or cream, with additional benefits. Probiotics balance the skin’s microbiome, reducing inflammation and acne breakouts, also its thicker consistency means you don’t have to use as much exfoliant, making it one of the most popular choices for spa treatments.
• Face Cleanser: Using a face cleanser, minimises the amount of exfoliant needed while providing its additional benefits. Our Botany Native Flora Face Cleanser can create a nourishing face scrub that doubles as a mask when left on for 5-10 minutes. Infused with Vitamin C-rich native Australian extracts, our face cleanser effectively eliminates impurities and excess sebum while simultaneously soothing and hydrating the skin.
