Gingerbread body scrub
What is that scent that immediately reminds you of Christmas? For me it's the spicy fragrance of Gingerbread: cinnamon, ginger, cloves and a pinch of nutmeg make the atmosphere warm and super Christmas!
But today I don't speak of sweets, if you remember the recipe I had already posted last year (see here), but what we will talk about today is a wellness Christmas gift idea: the Gingerbread body scrub!
For lovers of spices this gift is perfect because in addition to having an exfoliating effect on the skin, it leaves a crazy fragrance for many hours!

What are the beneficial properties of this skin srub?
First of all the brown sugar, besides having an exfoliating action, is also very moisturizing and gives brightness to the skin thanks to the glycolic acid inside which allows the reduction of spots and scars. For its part, almond oil is not less, in fact it gives the skin many benefits including elasticity and prevention of stretch marks, hydration and even a good smell!

In short, this body scrub seems to be just a nice idea with a Christmas theme, but in reality it is a real source of wellness for the skin!
