The Scrub Guide 5 Ways to Care for Your Skin Without Harming the Environment

We tell you how your choice of skincare products can affect the future of the earth. 

CHOOSING TO GO WITH NATURE

You don't have to harm the environment to keep your skin looking and feeling good. Did you know that 200 tons of plastic floats in the ocean? Or that this plastic takes decades to decompose in nature? 

The updated Love Nature series is our way of showing respect for the planet's water resources. To reduce our impact on the environment, we decided to make all flushable products in the series biodegradable. This means they disintegrate naturally and don't harm the aquatic environment. Instead of plastic for the exfoliating particles in the scrubs, we use silicon oxide, strawberry seeds and almond shells. These exfoliating particles are plant-based and also break down naturally without harming the environment. 

HOW TO CHOOSE A SCRUB?

FOR GLOWING SKIN

The NovAge refreshing facial scrub is the right choice when you want to quickly restore radiance, smoothness and the visual tightening of pores. It contains natural exfoliating particles based on lactic acid and shea butter. The bonus is the light fragrance and versatility of the scrub as it works equally well on dry, normal or oily skin at any age. 

FOR MEN'S SKIN

Comprehensive care for health is no longer something that is not typical for men. On the contrary, it is a trend. Being healthy, well-groomed, looking young and natural is not the exception, but rather the general rule. NovAge Men 2-in-1 cleanser and scrub is specially designed for men's skin which produces more sebum than women's because of testosterone. The scrub removes impurities and excess sebum, exfoliates keratinized cells and cleanses pores. Skin instantly "wakes up" and looks fresher. And no more dry skin!

FOR THE FEET

If you walk more than you drive a cab, this next product is sure to get you going. Here's the secret: Feet Up Advanced Exfoliating Foot Cream. The abundance of beneficial active ingredients (Minerale Blend caring complex, shea butter and natural pumice particles) provides noticeable results after the first use. This means that it is not necessary to wait forever for the skin to become soft. The technique is simple: massage the cream onto dry, clean skin on your feet, work on rough skin areas and then wash out with warm water. 

FOR EVERYTHING AT ONCE

Want something special? Start a spa at home! You'll need a Swedish SPA ginger body scrub and your favorite body cream or body milk. Thanks to the included salt and powdered natural almond shell scrub gently exfoliates rough skin. Ginger oil tones the skin and vitamin E helps protect it from dryness.
