Out with the old, in with the new
No manicure or pedicure service should be without an exfoliating phase as this is vital for the removal of dead cells so as to stimulate and refresh both skin and nails. Here we look at just some of the leading scrubs in the market

Also from Milk Solutions is the Charcoal Sugar Scrub – asmoothing exfoliator to purify and remove dead skin. After the scrub is applied to the body, gently exfoliate and then remove with warm water.
MatsiMela
As MatsiMela has always believed that exfoliation is one of the key pillars to healthy skin, it has created an array of scrubs for both hands and feet, including the Cooling Kalahari Salt Scrub that will exfoliate & refresh tired feet. This contains pure Kalahari Salt from an area in the Kalahari which was never inhabited or used for industrial purposes. MatsiMela’s salt remains pure, natural and totally untreated. It still contains the minerals that are so essential for our bodies’ health and well-being. Menthol, with its pain-relieving properties, has been added to the formulation.
Other exfoliation products from this brand include Exfoliating Foot Mask Spray with glycolic acid, Kalahari Sugar Scrub and Exfoliating Mud Scrub with Bentonite clay, which consists of aged volcanic ash also known as ‘Montmorillonite’.
Spalicious
From Spalicious, the Rosemary & Pink Peppercorns Scrub is a coarse exfoliating salt scrub that removes dead and dry skin cells, whilst providing moisture to the skin, leaving it feeling soft and conditioned.
Aroma psychology at its best is applied to this product, with a fragrant aroma of rosemary and pink peppercorns.
