Why should I use a body scrub?

Your skin has its own cycle of shedding dead skin cells. To help the removal of dead skin cells it is recommended to exfoliate the skin at least twice a week. Our sugar and salt based body scrubs are gentle dermabrasives that will rid the skin of dead skin cells gently, yet effectively, leaving the skin fresh, moisturised and clean.

What are the benefits of exfoliating?

Exfoliating leaves the skin looking and feeling fresh and clean, helps heal minor blemishes and helps prevent their formation, leaves the surface of the skin smooth, helps your circulation, evens the tone and colour of the skin and prevents ingrown hairs!

How often should I exfoliate?

Exfoliating the body twice a week is recommended but if you have delicate or sensitive skin then once a week is probably enough for you.

How does a hand scrub help my hands?

Just like other parts of the body, the hands develop a layer of dead skin cells. Removing these cells by exfoliating weekly helps new, fresher cells appear and by removing the old layer of dead cells allows hand creams to penetrate more easily through the skin.

How do I know which products suit my skin type?

If a skin type is applicable to a product we will mention it either in the product information or at the end of the product explanation.

How do essential oils benefit my skin?

Essential oils have been used for thousands of years throughout the world and benefit the skin in a multitude of ways.

What essential oils cause photosensitization?

Mainly the citrus essential oils, such as orange, lemon, lime and mandarin. At LanaB we have used a combination of citrus essential oils in our Salt Based Body Buff but the quantity should not cause any photosensitization. Photosensitization is usually caused by using the oils in high concentration on the skin before allowing UV light to react with it.

Why use a hand balm overnight?

Applying a hand balm to the hands before going to sleep allows the cream to penetrate deeply into the layers of skin. Wearing cotton gloves warms the skin slightly so the pores open and allow the cream and the active ingredients to transfer easily throughout the skins layers. Using our Nightly Hand Balm will quickly and effectively heal and soften your hands.
