It is a standard procedure that before applying the tanning lotion; skin must be exfoliated, removal of dead skin cells from the skin.
There are many exfoliators, and each has its benefits and works differently on your skin. Lets us focus on Thermalabs’ Body Scrub Vanilla Patchouli.
What is a Patchouli?
A Patchouli is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae, commonly called the mint or deadnettle family. This plant is native to Southeast Asia; Sri Lanka, Indonesia, the Malay Peninsula, New Guinea, and the Philippines.
This plant is prized for its fragrant essential oil. Studies also show that this plant is an effective insect repellant. Patchouli leaves are made as herbal tea. The leaves are eaten as a vegetable or used as a seasoning.
For its effect on the skin, it is used to treat skin conditions such as dermatitis, acne, or dry, cracked skin. In a 2014 study; mice treated with patchouli oil shows fewer wrinkles with an increase in collagen content. Another study shows that patchouli oil disrupts biofilms and some virulence factors of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
