The many benefits of sea salt and why Nordic uses Sea salt in all of their scrubs:  For centuries, people have bathed in the mineral-rich seas of the world to help promote good health and beautiful skin. Ancient records show that people traveled many miles to bathe in salt waters such as the Dead Sea, the Black Sea, the Red Sea, the Blue Lagoon, Scandinavian  Fjords and the famous mineral springs around the world. The mineral-rich, salty waters have been know to help alleviate even the most severe cases of dry skin disorders. Salt water bathing stimulates circulation, hydrates the skin, increases moisture retention, promotes cellular regeneration, detoxifies the skin, and helps heal dry, scaling, irritated skin. It also reduces inflammation of the muscles and joints, relaxes muscles and relieves pain and soreness. Important minerals such as magnesium, potassium, bromide, and calcium are readily absorbed into the skin when we bath in a lukewarm sea salt bath. 2 - 4 cups of sea salt per bath are recommended for detoxifying and for alleviating itchy, dry skin. When essential oils are added to a salt bath, they are also readily absorbed increasing their therapeutic effectiveness

It's Essential that you exfoliate your skin to remove dead skin cells, this allows all the nutrients that nature has to offer to be better absorbed and gives your skin a healthy, vibrant glow.    Your skin, the largest organ in our bodies, flushes out toxins and absorbs nutrients and vitamins from the sun. Healthy skin works to cleanse the blood and free the system of poisons by expelling at least one pound of waste products daily.

Skin Exfoliation stimulates the circulation, and the lymphatic system, and has a powerful rejuvenating effect on the nervous system. The major lymph nodes are dumping stations for waste fluids, and you can stimulate the expulsion of mucoid lymphatic material or impacted lymph (cellulite) by skin brushing. Also, skin exfoliation removes dead skin layers and other impurities, thus keeping the pores open and unclogged.

Many of you already know the healthy glow and soft, supple skin that results from the regular use of salt and sugar scrubs. For those of you that don't, you've been missing out!

A "scrub" is a blend of pure sea salt, or fine brown sugar, combined with protective and moisturizing oils, which is then applied to wet skin and massaged around in a circular motion. Upon rinsing, you'll be amazed at the difference in your skin. Even rough, chapped, calloused man-hands are left baby soft and smooth after only a few uses - many after the first use!

What is Glycolic Acid?

Glycolic Acid is the most versatile and easily absorbed of the Alphahydroxy Acids. Derived from sugar cane, it was developed through scientific research and found to be extremely effective in the treatment of Dermatological conditions including, Acne, fine wrinkles, and changes in skin pigmentation.

How Glycolic Acid Works?

Glycolic acids decrease the "glue" that holds dead cells on the surface of the skin. This allows dead cells to drop away, leaving behind a layer of smoother, softer skin. Glycolic acid also stimulates the skin to make new collagen fibers that help to improve wrinkling and the effects of sun damage. In addition, glycolic acids help dissolve the material that clogs pores allowing the pore to drain better thus decreasing spots and acne formation.

What are the indications for Glycolic Acid Exfoliation?

You are interested in preventing signs of aging and wrinkles

You want to reduce existing fine lines and wrinkles.

You have discolorations, age spots, dull or unhealthy looking skin.

You have acne, skin lesions, or other skin conditions.

You have weathered or sun damaged skin.

How do you perform Exfoliation?

Exfoliation takes approximately 5 minutes.  First, the skin is moistened lightly, The Exfoliator is then applied gently. After 3 to 5 minutes buff your skin lightly then your skin is rinsed with cool water. It's that simple!

Most people initially notice a softer and smoother skin immediately. However, it can take several months of continued daily use of glycolic acid to achieve the best results.

Why Glycolic Acid Works?

The thick layer of dead cells on the skin surface may give the complexion a rough, dull appearance. When these cells are removed, they expose a layer of fresh new cells with a smoother texture, and a more uniform color. Furthermore, continued use of glycolic acid appears to stimulate new cell growth. Recent studies show that over time, this stimulation of cell growth can cause new collagen fibers to grow in the upper layers of the dermis, the layer most sensitive to the aging effects of the sun. 

Where else can I use Glycolic Acid?

All body areas appear to respond well to treatment with glycolic acid; however, the arms, hands, neck and chest all improve at a slower rate than the face. Many patients choose to treat these areas more aggressively by using stronger products containing higher concentrations of glycolic acid. While no procedure is free of the risks of side effects, most patients are delighted with the outcome, and the risks are fewer than with most other chemical or surgical procedures.

Does it make my skin sensitive to the sun?

The use of glycolic acid products usually does not cause sun sensitivity. In addition, recent studies suggest that using glycolic acid may make your skin less sensitive to other chemicals. Because ultraviolet light is the leading cause of skin ageing and wrinkling, you should always use sun protection as part of your skin care program (irrespective of the use of glycolic acid).

Unlike many other stronger and deeper Exfoliators,  those done with glycolic acid usually do not permanently lighten the skin. Therefore, they can normally be safely performed on patients with darker skin types.
