Why a Vanilla Scrub ......for your body,hands and feet

Everyone loves vanilla. Even those who love chocolate must – by default – love chocolate. As cocoa + vanilla = chocolate. Chocolate wouldn’t be chocolate without vanilla. Then there’s also vanilla cake, vanilla ice cream, vanilla milkshakes – all sweet and all delicious.

But what most people don’t realise is that vanilla isn’t just tasty – it’s also incredibly unbelievably good for your skin too!

Vanilla is a powerful super-antioxidant and it helps protect your skin from the harmful effects of free radicals, pollution and toxins in your diet. It helps skin cells to repair and renew themselves – making for glowing, healthy skin. It’s also soothing – which means it’s good for sunburn, skin irritation – any kind of problem skin will respond well to being smothered in vanilla. It’s high in calcium, magnesium, zinc, potassium, manganese, copper and all sorts of other vitamins and minerals that contribute to the nourishment and well-being of your skin.

This tasty treat is also good for your stress levels. Forget comfort eating, slathering your skin in vanilla will have the same effect on your mood as eating a freshly-baked cupcake. The sweet scent of vanilla is also surprisingly good at easing a headache, leaving you feeling relaxed and calm. A mild sedative, vanilla is the perfect pick-me-up for when you’re feeling stretched thin and burned out.

Best of all? Vanilla is also an aphrodisiac of the purest, sweetest kind. It also gently stimulates oestrogen and testosterone production – which is what makes it such an effective engine-starter.
