Scrub away the listless grub

Summer is synonymous with skin and no matter how much or how little you’re flaunting, as long as it gets scrutinized by the public eye, make sure it’s a pleasing sight. Exfoliation is your best mate for bikini season, as this beauty hack can banish rough spots and patchy uneven skin tone to get you ready to bask in a spot of natural sunlight. Pave the way for immaculate skin this summer and leave no pores un-preened with, CHAI CRYSTAL HEALING Oxygenating Facial Scrub, an exfoliator extraordinaire aimed to uncover your skin’s true inner brilliance in a New York minute. The closest home experience you can get to a professional skin polishing Microdermabrasion therapy at any upscale spa downtown, this is an insider’s secret of doctor-inspired, and scientifically formulated skincare gem favored by those in the know. A dual-phasic mask+scrub combo getting twice the work done in half the time, it exfoliates and moisturizes concurrently to improve your skin texture in a jiffy. Harnessing the cell renewal power from champagne extracts which uses active polyphenols with protective and antioxidant properties together with trace elements extracted from grapes, it magically transforms into a fine crystal scrub for effective exfoliation. Micro-ionized pearls stimulate microcirculation at the same time, with a special oxygen releasing formulation giving neglected complexions a much needed O2 boost for enhanced radiance. Wave good-bye to tired, dull-looking skin for a fresher, silky-smooth feel, or even rough patches on elbows and knees… just in time for the sun, sea or perhaps more? #justsaying
