Soft, Radiant Skin — Spa-Quality Sugar Scrub
April, with its pleasant spring warmth.
Even the soft, gentle sunlight of spring is said to carry UV levels nearly on par with summer.
Left unaddressed, UV-exposed skin can develop a thicker, harder outer layer, disrupting turnover and leading to skin trouble.
Before summer fully arrives, care for your skin with our Sugar Scrub and work toward soft, radiant skin.
■ A Spa-Quality Sugar Scrub
The sugar used as the exfoliating agent gently dissolves once placed on warmed skin, gently sweeping away dead skin cells in the process.
KOTOSHINA's spa-quality Sugar Scrub is generously formulated with sugar, prized for its excellent moisturizing properties, along with organic plant ingredients like tea seed oil, rich in easily absorbed oleic acid, and orange peel extract, which helps refine skin texture and enhance radiance.
After using the scrub, skin is left with a smooth texture, as if wrapped in a veil of moisture.
■ A Spa Experience at Home
The key is to warm your body thoroughly first.
Before use, stir the Sugar Scrub from the bottom of the jar to mix it well.
This helps the plant oils inside blend evenly with the sugar, so it slowly melts once applied to warmed skin.
Next, apply the oil-blended scrub to your legs and spread it gently in circular motions with your palms.
The satisfying, grainy texture of the sugar gently sweeps away hardened dead skin cells.
As you continue, the sugar gradually dissolves, transforming into a smooth texture rich in moisturizing ingredients.
Your fingers will start to glide more easily, which is the perfect time to move into a leg massage.
Cup your leg with both hands and gently stroke upward, applying pressure as you move from the ankle to the calf to just below the knee.
Use a pressure level that feels genuinely pleasant to you.
Next, use all four fingers (excluding the thumb) to press into the back of the knee, working into any areas of tension.
From there, you might also try massaging each toe and easing tension in the soles of the feet.
Thoroughly caring for feet, which tend to tire easily, helps improve circulation and offers a relaxing effect for both body and mind.
■ Toward Soft, Radiant Skin
Beyond the legs, massage the décolletage, arms, and any other areas of concern, then rinse away the scrub.
Skin left behind feels soft and hydrated, as though wrapped in a veil of moisture, wrapped in a clean orange scent — leaving you with the same satisfied feeling as a trip to the spa.
The Sugar Scrub also contains natural shimmer particles, adding a subtle, elegant glow to newly soft, hydrated skin.
Get ready for the season ahead with
KOTOSHINA's Sugar Scrub, and enjoy soft, radiant skin.
