7. How do I keep my products?

Keep in a cool, dry area. Avoid introducing water to the products and always use clean hands (or spoon, preferably).

Introducing water to the products will provide a suitable environment for bacteria to grow and thrive.  And we certainly don't want that!

8. How do I use your body scrubs?

Our body scrubs require a little bit of water.

In the shower, place a spoonful of body scrub in your palms and add a splash of water. Mix in your hands until it is creamy in texture and luxurious to scrub. Scrub and leave on for 2 to 5 minutes for best results. Shower as per normal and towel dry.

Our body scrubs leave you beautifully moisturised after, so you don't need to apply any lotions or cream!
