Try this scrub while you're running a bath for yourself. It's an effective way to restore your skin's moisture balance. The gentle almond oil mixed with sugar removes dead skin cells and cleanses clogged pores. The almond also makes your skin wonderfully soft, and the sugar has an antibacterial effect, which helps prevent pimples.

How to make the scrub?

Mix 60 ml almond oil with 60 g caster sugar and a few drops of rose extract. Take a small amount of the scrub and massage it lightly into your skin. Be a bit more thorough on areas with more calluses, such as your elbows, knees, and heels. Once you've scrubbed your entire body, the bath will likely be full, and you can sink into the warm water. The scrub will rinse off your body naturally. The almond oil will be absorbed into the bathwater, and the rose extract will leave a floral scent in your bathroom.

*Almond oil is a good source of Vitamins A, B, and E:*vitamins that are all very important for keeping your skin smooth and radiant. Almond oil helps to keep the different skin layers in good condition and is also quickly absorbed by the skin without clogging pores. A must-have in your bathroom cabinet, especially if you suffer from dry, sensitive, or irritated skin.

In this way, he safeguards natural aesthetics and the preservation of facial expressions as core values within the entire organization. In addition, as director, Bart is closely involved in medical quality, strategic choices, and the further growth of The Body Clinic. His vision on meticulousness, natural results, and realistic aesthetics continues to form the basis of how the clinic operates and grows to this day.
