Body Polish - my go to product

When it comes to beauty products one of the most amazing products I've ever used is body polish.  It's a busy girls best friend.  A major multi-tasker and you get quite the bang for your buck.  Everything a Beauty loves.

 A body polish is basically something that will exfoliate your skin and moisturize at the same time.  It removes dead skin cells to reveal the bright healthy skin layer below.  It usually contains some type of oil to hydrate the skin as you rub it in.  By sheer virtue of how you have to scrub it in, it increases circulation,helping to aid in detoxing of the skin.  (Detoxing can = less cellulite btw.)  Wow!  What more can you ask out of one product!  Add some well chosen essential oils and you've just boosted the power of your polish!

No matter how many times I use my body polish I'm always amazed at how wonderfully soft and glowing my skin is after.  It's the quickest, easiest way I know to raise the health of my skin with almost no effort at all.  It's great to moisturize our face everyday but nothing makes you feel more like a Goddess than having baby soft skin... everywhere.
This holiday season mains de mariposa will be releasing the first in the line of all natural body scrubs.  The main ingredient in our body polish is organic cane sugar.  Sugar contains natural alphahydroxy acids.  These help to chemically remove dead skin cells while the scrubbing action will physically remove them.  Again, what a multi-tasker!   Cane sugar was also chosen over salt.  This way you can feel free to shave and then finish off with your body polish without the worry of getting salt scrubbed into any tiny cuts or nicks the razor may leave.  

The mdm body polish also contains sunflower oil which is high in vitamin E.  It is easily absorbed by the skin but doesn't leave you feeling like a french fry.  Just a touchable, dewy glow.  Specially chosen essential oils elevate the entire experience making every shower like a trip to the spa.

For those of you who are DIY Beauties, here's a great recipe to try at home!

Simple Scrub Recipe

What you need:
1 container (even an old yogurt or sour cream container will do)
2 parts sugar (or salt)
1 part oil (any oil will do but keep the 'french fry' factor in mind)
a few drops essential oil (optional)

What you do:
Mix everything together.
When you're done your shower, turn off the water.
Using small amounts rub the mixture over your body, starting at the feet and moving towards the heart.
Turn the shower back on and rinse off.
Gently pat dry.
Glow like a Goddess!

Use this scrub every 2 to 3 days, a little less if you have sensitive skin.

Don't forget to scrub your hands with it while you're in the shower. You'd be amazed at how far this will go to keeping your hands looking great!
