"We have been using the Solaris and it is indeed heavenly. Quite a fantastic sensation to put on a scrub that exfoliates and moisturizes! I have had day spa treatments that try to achieve this - the closest was probably a brown sugar scrub but yours is outstanding! Thank you so much for this lovely gift. It feels great and smells bliss.."    Kylie and Mark

 

"My particular favourite is the Solaris range. I started with the body scrub but now I'll go for anything with that scent! It's just divine." Carmen

To keep your pure, natural product in best condition always use the spatula provided to avoid getting any water in or on the blend.

Store out of direct sunlight and away from heat.

For optimum shelf life keep it below 20C.

Always re-cap firmly after use, including using the inner caska seal with tubs or jars. This helps to keep air and moisture out of your blend.

If you require a new label please let me know in the Comments section at Checkout so I can include it with your Refill pouch.

When refilling from a pouch, make sure there is no residual product from the original batch in the bottle. They are easy to clean with warm soapy water and rinsed with hot water. Allow them to dry out thoroughly, before spooning in the refill batch (yes, you'll need a kitchen funnel so you don't have spillage). 

Always allow the air out of your refill pouch before ziplocking it shut tight. Store it in a cool place away from heat and light.

Why do I need to exfoliate?

Aging slows down the rate of cell renewal so it’s important that as we mature, we are also taking active steps towards promoting cell renewal. Skincare products, which may include the use of make-up, balms or sunblock, need to be removed regularly to promote a clear and bright complexion. And then there is general environmental pollution and dirt which also requires a thorough cleanse. Avoid a sluggish or lack-lustre appearance by gently exfoliating a couple of times a week as part of your normal skincare routine to keep your complexion fresh and smooth.

 

Doesn’t soap cleanse my skin enough?

Soap or soap-like products strip oils from your skin and they do not discriminate. Good oils and bad oils all go down the drain when you use a soap and they leave skin dry, unprotected and vulnerable to a shock reaction that can bring on the overproduction of oil. A good exfoliator will be made using oils that nourish and cleanse at the same time, along with the particles that do the more intensive exfoliation and a binding agent like clay or botanical powder that draws out impurities gently but effectively.

 

If I want it to work should I exfoliate everyday?

No. It’s more helpful to allow your skin to rest for a couple of days between treatments.

If you have a skin condition that leaves you with open sores or small wounds don’t exfoliate those areas until they are healed. Take a look at ‘Soothe’ Powdered Facial Cleanser, 'AngelWings' MPO or ‘Panacea’ Aromatherapy Blend that you can use on face or body.

 

My skin is red after exfoliating! Did I do something wrong?

No you didn’t do anything wrong. Everyone is different and will react to exfoliation differently because each person will massage the product in differently. I encourage everyone to begin exfoliation with a very gentle touch. Let the product work for you instead of you working the product, and gauge your sensitivity to this method. If you are red for more than 30mins after a treatment you are probably pushing too hard or have very sensitive skin, or, you have discovered a sensitivity to a certain ingredient.

Rinse the area affected with cool water regularly until the irritation subsides. You may also find using a basic oil like Fractionated Coconut Oil, Jojoba or Macadamia on the skin helps to relieve any irritation.

 

NB: If you want to test out the sensitivity to a product it's a great idea to dab a little on the inside of your wrist and leave it for a few moments. You can rinse your wrist much more easily and quicker than your face ;)
