Check out Scrubz giveaway here!

Treasure Thursday – Scrubz Giveaway (4 winners) *CLOSED*

I know it comes late, but here it is, this week’s Treasure Thursday!

Scrubz Body Scrub, Inc., Inc.  is a company, that sells all natural skin care products. You can find Scrubz, Oliz and Butterz on their web page.

We all know, that exfoliation becomes more important when you age. The skin is constantly generating new skin cells and sending them to the surface. However, as time goes on, the process of cell turnover decreases, and the skin can start to look drier and less glowing.

And here’s the time for Scrubz to make an entrance.  Scrubz is a 4 body products in 1! It’s a body scrub/cleanser, facial scrub, pre-shave/shaving oil and a moisturizer too. It gently polishes skin, exfoliates using natural sugar, cleanses without soap, protects and moisturizes skin, prepares skin for shaving & replaces traditional shaving creams.

You know what? Scrubz contains eight different oils:

* coconut-supreme, olive and Vitamin E oils, which are known to reduce or even cure eczema and psoriasis;

*canola and jojoba oil which protect skin from environment;

* Aloe Vera, grape seed and soybean oil that de-stress, repair and tighten skin.

Oil based scrubs focus on skin treatment and rejuvenation, first with natural exfoliation and then with nourishment, using natural oils and emollients. Scrub products also help to emphasize the holistic approach of de-stressing and relaxation, along with skin conditioning.

I had a chance to try their Warm Vanilla scented Scrubz.  It’s the best smelling package I have ever received. I could smell the Vanilla scent even before I opened the package :) Have to admit that when I opened the jar, I had big wishes to eat it. It just looked so delicious! 

I used Scrubz as a body scrub and pre shave/shaving oil for my legs. It is really easy to use and it leaves my body so soft and smooth. It contains no alcohol, no artificial preservatives, no artificial color. And I really love, that the jars are packaged with a mixing scoop and ready for gift giving.
