diy coco choco body scrub

About two or three days ago I felt my skin absolutely dehydrated and even though I am always trying to keep my skin moisturised, I realized that it was time for a real exfoliation. Either way, after the summer season, deep skin care is an urgent need. For my scrub I picked cocoa powder and coconut sugar that I already had in my kitchen.

“Eléa Skin Care Products” was created by us a few years ago in Innsbruck of Austria, in order to “transport” our friends there to the marvellous Greek Civilization. Because Greece is not only famous for the Parthenon Temple or the beautiful greek islands. Greece is also famous for its tradition in aromatherapy and cosmetology since antiquity (read about Cold Cream and Galen of Pergamon, here), for the rare herbs, the sea, the sun and the mineral wealth.

One of the projects I presented back then, was a body scrub that it really "smells" like Greece, using mostly greek ingredients.

The HoneyBee Project never ends, true story. This time I prepared an amazing gentle body scrub suitable for all skin types. It has a creamy texture but I can assure you; I didn't  add any cream, neither ounce! This time I decided to use foaming bath butter, an amazing base which we use to make shaving soap, frosting for bath bombs or cup cake soaps or a really easy scrub!
