Sea Salt
Mineral rich and contains marine extracts that
neutralize the skin. Provides the "graininess"
needed to polish the skin and is more exfoliating
than sugar. Polishing the skin increases blood
circulation while stimulating and eliminating
toxins.

allergies should avoid this. Widely used as a body
lotion by itself or added to lotions. Been found to
be one of the best moisturizers.

Spearmint essential oil
Helps in digestion and relieves muscle spasms. Used
for colic, hiccups, fever and upper respiratory
problems. When used in a cream it can help with
itching. Spearmint has almost as many beneficial
qualities as peppermint. Used as an antiseptic,
insecticide, restorative and stimulant.

Sugars (white and brown)
A gentler exfoliant than sea salt and is ideal for
sensitive skin.
Soothes, smoothes, and moisturizes. |

Copper bowls used for
pedicures draw out positive ions
(which are bad for
us), neutralizing electrostatic energy in the body.
When soaking the feet in
copper, the positive ions that
accumulate around us
are balanced, leaving our bodies
ready to fight off
environmental pollutions better than before. |
