Made From Earth : Rooibos Tea Scrub




    I stumbled upon a little line, Made From Earth, which is made with nothing but good for you ingredients. The first product I tried was the Rooibos Tea Scrub. This is actually a little more like a detoxifying mask you use a few times per week. The scrub part may be slightly misleading for us serious exfoliators. But don't let that stop you from learning more.

    According to Made From Earth, This moisturizing face scrub is designed to release toxins and improve skin cell circulation. When combining Rooibos tea with aloe vera, our scrub creates a powerful mix of antioxidants designed to penetrate your skin and detoxify. It contains bioflavonoid, vitamins, plant oils, fruit flavonoids, and Rooibos Tea. Jojoba beads gently clear away dead skin cells while the potent antioxidant Rooibos tea releases toxins improving skin texture. These antioxidants help slow the aging process and boost the immune system.

    Coolio, right? But what is Rooibos Tea? Turns out, when used in skincare, Rooibos Tea is known for their unique asphalatin flavonoids, which can actually help to alleviate allergies. Scientists confirmed that Rooibos Tea in the form of facial scrub is able to put off viral and bacterial infections (according to the MfE website). Using this twice per week can help detoxify your skin, help it maintain balance and help repair damage done during your life.

    This scrub is great for people with dry skin, as it is very hydrating. I have dry skin and it made my skin feel balanced, leaving it clean and fresh.

    The scrub part... While this does have jojoba beads, they are so large, they are not likely to really get in there and scrub your skin. Keep in mind, I prefer scrubs that take off a minimum of two layers of skin each time you use them. If you have more sensitive skin, this type of scrub may just be perfect for you.

    Made From Earth products are not only vegan and cruelty-free, but are also USA Organic, don't contain chemical preservatives and only use the highest potency organic ingredients. If you aren't familiar with this line, check it out! I will be posting about a few other items in the upcoming days, but in the meantime, don't wait for the review, snag a Citrus Lip Balm! (It's Loxy's new favorite nighttime treat. Every time I look for this, it's magically on his nightstand!)

    This was sent for the purposes of review. In case you missed it, these products have nothing to do with animals whatsoever. :-)
