I don't know about you, but I can't resist a great craft market. Hand made yummies, hand made homewares, hand made kiddies clothing. There's something quaint and kitsch about taking home something that will, in all certainty be unique. I mean, no matter how hard you try to reproduce the same thing exactly, unless you're in a factory, every creation will be slightly different!
But what about handmade beauty products? Do we hold them with the same regard we do other homemade items?
What people seem to love about handmade products are that they are made with care and attention. When you think handmade beauty, chances are you're thinking natural and simple - the way products used to be back in the old days right? No preservatives, no unnecessary extra ingredients, just fresh products that work.
We're putting NZ Scrub a Dub Dub to the test - in the gorgeous flavour CandyFloss. This scrub is handmade using a blend of coconut, olive, avocado, essential oils and sugars. You'll smell like strawberry and French vanilla after using this! Scrub a Dub Dub recommend the best way to use this sugar scrub is before turning the shower - scrub your body gently and then rinse. You will successfully remove excess dead skin and clean out blocked pores without leaving the skin feeling irritated. The natural soothing natures of the oil combined with the grainy, exfoliating sugars blend perfectly and leave your skin with an even color, cleared pores and a soft texture.
