Prepare for your senses to be awakened by the scent of fall as you make this pumpkin sugar scrub made with vitamin E oil, nutmeg oil, ginger essential oil, clove oil, and cinnamon bark oil from NOW!
Earlier this summer I had the opportunity to visit the NOW headquarters near Chicago and see into their production facility where they’ve been making natural products for over 50 years!
I learned so much about their measures and standards to ensure excellence in quality for all of their products, which was truly unparalleled in excellence compared to any other brand or company that I’ve seen!
As you know, the supplement and skin care industry is very saturated these days, but not all are created with the kind of care and levels of precision for what goes into every bottle quite like the way NOW does it. NOW owns and operates one of the most advanced private laboratories in the natural products industry to help ensure every aspect of creating their products is safe for us.
As a dietitian, it is so important to me to use and recommend products that are safe, effective and provide health to myself and my clients, which is why I recommend looking to NOW when it comes to your supplement and skin care needs. I personally use their probiotics and essential oils daily!
Not only does this pumpkin sugar scrub smell amazing, but it will make your skin feel extra soft and exfoliated. The minute it starts getting cooler outside my skin starts to feel a little bit drier and craves more moisture. Adding this sugar scrub to my shower routine helps to keep my skin bright and plump from the goodness of pumpkin and these calming oils.
Why Pumpkin is Good for the Skin
- Pumpkin is a great source of vitamin C and vitamin E, two strong antioxidants that are great for the skin! Vitamin C is needed for collagen protein synthesis, may helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and helps maintain healthy skin cells. Vitamin E helps defend against UV light and protects the skin from free radical damage. This scrub offers an extra dose from the vitamin E oil too!
- This sugar scrub also contains cinnamon, making this sugar scrub great for moisturizing the skin!
