It is so easy to give your body an At-Home Spa Day. Often times we forget that taking care of our skin is a necessity for our health and well-being. After being in the sun all day, it is important to moisturize and replenish your skin so it can remain healthy and continue to look beautiful. Wash away your woes and relax at home.

What’s on the menu?

Exfoliate
Using the sugar scrub while exfoliating is essential to feeling your very best during your long relaxing shower. Exfoliating is one of the key ingredients to helping your skin maintain its beautiful glow. Skin concerns involving breakouts, clogged pores, and dry skin can be helped with exfoliation. It is important to use Exfoliating body scrubs because they not only help get rid of the buildup of other products on the body used throughout the day, but they also give your body a chance to rid itself of dry skin cells that make our skin appear dull and lifeless. By removing dead cells, you are exposing the layer underneath and prepping it for spa time at home. Tree Hut Shea Sugar Scrub is gentle, but allows for a deep exfoliation. The Tree Hut body scrubs are gentle and effective on hands, feet, shoulders, back, anywhere on the body that is needed for a little bit of extra tender loving care. A small amount of body scrub will do the trick. Rub into skin that is feeling rough or dry and then rinse-it is that simple!

Cleanse
Cleansing is a very important step in keeping your body smelling and feeling fresh. Throughout the day our skin accumulates bacteria and oils, which takes away the ability for our skin to breathe. Cleansing removes all of this extra dirt from the top layer of our bodies, allowing the moisturizers used to be more affective. It is so easy to cleanse your skin. Simply jump into your shower and infuse your body with a Shea moisturizing shower wash. With either your hands or a shower scrub object, massage the cleanser into your skin. The rich creamy lather will cleanse, moisturize and restore your skin like a lotion in the shower. Tree Hut Shower Wash will repair and leave your skin silky and smooth moments after use.

Moisturize
After a refreshing Tree Hut shower, use Shea body butter to moisturize and hydrate your skin. Moisturizing is important for the skin because it will keep you looking and feeling young all day long. It not only creates a healthy looking complexion, but it keeps our skin from looking older and damaged. If you are outside in the sun for long periods of time, it is important to moisturize your skin so it does not become too dry-which can lead to flaking and cracking of the skin. Overexposure to the sun can also lead to skin aging, resulting in wrinkles and sun spots. Moisturizing will help protect your skin from the damages of everyday life. For those of you who enjoy a stronger, extra-rich moisturizer, Body Butter is a thicker, creamier formula you can use rather than an everyday lotion. Tree Hut’s Shea Body Butter is enriched with vitamins that are designed to moisturize and heal the skin. To moisturize effectively, place a small amount of either body butter or lotion into your hands and slowly caress your skin.

Maintain
It is extremely important to exfoliate, cleanse, and moisturize your body every day. Using a daily routine will help you to maintain your healthy glow throughout the day. Massage the skin all over for a full body maintenance regimen. Tree Hut’s full body moisturizing lotion will help repair dry and damaged skin. With this brilliant blend of ingredients, it is easy to fall in love with moisturizing. You can never cleanse or moisturize too much, so if you feel the need to wash twice, or moisturize more than once, then do so.

Tree Hut comes in four scents that will liven up your senses and provide you with a little piece of heaven right from your own home. Hawaiian Kukui will make you feel like you are on an island, watching the sunset and feeling the sand beneath your toes while the wind blows through your hair.

Cracked feet can be very painful, especially as we continue to walk on them in this condition. Dry and cracked feet is a rather common skin problem that many people suffer from. Many do not realize that if not treated, this issue can lead to other more serious problems.

Cracked feet are an extremely common foot condition and are due to extreme drying of the skin on your feet. This dryness will cause cracks and even sores on the feet, which can become painful when walking. Signs of cracked feet include discoloration, peeling of the skin and even bleeding. Causes of cracked feet include but are not limited to, pressure from standing on your feet for too long, weight issue, unsupportive and or un-protective shoes and not wearing sock in extreme temperatures. If you don’t let your feet breathe, then sweat will cause the skin under your feet to become dry, which can lead to cracking and splitting. Athletes Foot is another cause of cracked feet. Many people suffer from Athlete Foot, which not only cracks the feet, but also causes an irritating itching sensation. One way to keep your feet crack-free is to limit your feet expose to hot water in the shower. Hot water can trigger extreme dryness on the soles of your feet, which will then lead to the cracked skin.

Cracked Feet Remedies
You can limit dry and cracked feet by wearing shoes that protect your feet. Don’t walk around barefoot and limit the amount of time your feet are in sandals. You should also keep a daily moisturizing schedule for your feet. Moisturize your feet as much as possible throughout the day. An Extra-Rich Moisturizing Lotion or Body Butter is the perfect remedies for your dry and overworked feet. Along with moisturizing throughout the day, it is equally important to scrub those feet when taking a shower. After wetting the feet, with a moderate amount of pressure, scrub the feet until you slouch away the dry and dead skin cells. A Sugar Scrub will help you to exfoliate leaving you with new and rejuvenated feet. This exfoliating and moisturizing regimen will help the feet heal faster, allowing your skin to absorb the moisturizing lotion more effectively.

Your Health
It is important to keep an eye out for signs of cracked feet because it could be an indication of an even bigger heath issue. Cracked skin due to mild to severe nerve damage is fairly common in diabetes patients. Though that doesn’t mean it’s the case with your feet. Your feet may just need a little bit of extra care and attention.

Exfoliation
Exfoliation is often overlooked during a shower. Many times people wash their hair with a shampoo and cleanse their body with a shower wash, but forget that exfoliation is an important key step to healthy skin. Throughout the day, the body accumulates dirt and other toxins that can lead to dead skin cells on the body. These particles can cause dry skin or can possibly lead to other skin problems if left alone. These dead skin cells can create a dull appearance on the outer layer of the skin. Exfoliation not only gets rid of these cells, but it also rids the body of other products that have built up on your skin. You need to clean off this layer of product buildup on your body so that it can rehydrate itself and continue to glow the next day. Exfoliation is the key to helping your skin remain smooth, fresh, and free of unwanted dryness.

It is important to take care of every part of your body when exfoliating in the shower. When using products on your face, you should be gentle, but apply enough force to rid the skin of the makeup and oil buildup. Even though the face is one of the most sensitive parts of the body, we need to care for it just like we would any other part of the body.

Using a sugar scrub is a great way to rid the body of dead skin cells on hands, feet, shoulders, back, arm and knees. With a little bit of pressure, use a wash cloth or your hand to massage the sugar scrub into your skin along your entire body so that it cleanses and exfoliates the skin to perfect glow. When exfoliating body parts where the skin is tougher, such as elbows, knees, and heels, it is perfectly fine to use little bit more pressure when applying the scrub. These areas are known to be dryer and rougher than other parts of the body. After using a sugar scrub on these areas, a moisturizer will help heal the affected areas. Tree Hut Shea Moisturizing Lotion or Shea Body Butter will help bring vibrancy back into your skin. This will help the skin remain softer and help to prevent cracking.

If you do not remove the extra oils and dirt from your skin daily, it’s possible that you will begin to experience breakouts from clogged pores. Buildup of dirt can irritate and clog the skin, which causes these blemishes. Using these exfoliation tips on the body will help prevent breakouts from occurring. Continuing to remove the dead skin cells will keep the skin looking fresh and smooth. It is easy to take care of your skin so be sure to take an extra few minutes to scrub down your entire body after a long day so that your skin can stay sharp and vibrant for the next day ahead of you.
