While the main goal of skin care is to make sure our skin is in its healthiest state it’s also important to a lot of us to keep our skin looking youthful. Sagging and lines tend to make our skin a bit dull or tired-looking; we want our faces to look fresh, firm, and bright! Today we are teaching you our philosophy on anti-aging. For our anti-aging methods, we avoid injectables like botox/fillers and focus more on maintaining the health of the lymphatic system, skin tissues, collagen, & elastin. We also have some product tips on what we’ve found best to preserve your youthful-looking skin.

I want to focus on a specific area of the face that so many of us seem to have some complications, the cheeks. For a lot of us, the cheek area of our face can get red, sensitive, small bumps, or break out without warning. Fluctuations or problems with the skin on our cheeks are often an indicator that our body is trying to tell us something about our lifestyle, diet or digestive system.

There’s a reason we named our company “scrub me”; we absolutely love a good full body exfoliation! Scrubbing the skin on our body isn’t just for buffing away and softening dry skin, it also helps keep skin firm and youthful. Full body exfoliation brings circulation and oxygen flow to the skin’s surface, helping keep your proteins happy and healthy. Using some type of body scrub, loofah, exfoliating soap, or dry brush on your body a few times a week will keep your skin firmer for longer. Think of exfoliating like a mini fountain of youth!

Did you know when scrub me™ started as a company in 2013 we only had two types of products? A sea salt body scrub with added botanical ingredients and our ever popular whipped shea butter. These products were created because we felt we needed to put more of an emphasis on taking care of the skin on our bodies, not just our faces. We want to pamper all parts of our skin to keep it healthy, clear, and youthful. Cleansing, exfoliating, massaging, and moisturizing your body with great products at home is important. But, there are a few in spa treatments that can help get your skin in optimal condition!

Yes, treatments like these do greatly improve your complexion, skin's health, and help you achieve your ultimate skin goals. But, without a proper skin care routine at home, your skin cannot maintain all results in between treatments.
