Last post, we showed you how body scrubs can act as exfoliators to give you a new, healthy layer of vibrant-looking skin. In a similar way, bath gloves can do the same.Bath gloves are mitts that can be worn in the bath or shower in place of using a loofah or hand towel to scrub down your body.
Some of the benefits of bath gloves include: In addition to scrubbing you clean, bath gloves also gently exfoliate your skin, leaving you with a smooth, healthy new look. Get a more rich and even lather when you use bath gloves. Very few of us like hopping out of a warm bed in the morning and into a cold shower. Instead of turning your water heat way up, you can count on your bath gloves to keep you a bit more warm. That way you save energy and money, too! Textured bath gloves give your body a gently stimulating massage without the need for your significant other or someone else's hands. Using bath gloves is as simple as putting them on and dabbing a bit of soap on them. Then rub over your skin in circular motions and enjoy a soft exfoliation and full-body cleaning. Bath Body Junky's (www.bathbodyjunky.com) bath gloves can give your skin a smooth tone you'll love. Give them a try and see for yourself. by: The Bath Body Terminal

Body scrubs are a well-kept secret (not anymore!) to easily maintaining beautifully supple, young-looking skin. There are some things that body scrubs can do for your skin that other bath and body items, like body washes and lotions, won't.
For example, body scrubs are commonly used to exfoliate the skin. This helps to get rid of dry and flaky skin, leaving you with a new, healthy layer of skin. They don't call them "scrubs" for nothing. When choosing a body scrub, be sure and consider whether the exfoliating element will be rough on your skin. Bath Body Junky(www.bathbodyjunky.com) offers a few exfoliating body scrubs that are gentle on the skin, including Asquith & Somerset's Shea Butter Scrub and Cocoa Butter Scrub. Another benefit of body scrubs is that, in addition to guarding against dry skin, they can also be great moisturizers. This all depends on what type of body scrub you use. The aforementioned body scrubs by Asquith & Somerset, for example, are excellent moisturizers because of their natural butter bases. Furthermore, as you would expect from any Bath Body Junky(www.bathbodyjunky.com) bath item, the body scrubs we carry are nutritious to your skin. That's because the scrubs we offer are loaded with skin-healthy, all-natural ingredients like avocado, coconut cream, and as mentioned before, shea butter and cocoa butter. When you're shopping around for a good body scrub, consider browsing the Bath Body Junky(www.bathbodyjunky.com) shop for all your skin care needs. by: The Bath Body Terminal
Stretch marks are fine lines on the skin that develop at certain stages of life, for example during puberty, pregnancy, and periods of weight gain. Stretch marks can also arise as we mature throughout our lives.
We women need to recognize, however, that stretch marks are not necessarily something to be frowned upon as a vanity issue. What's more important is to realize that stretch marks can sometimes be symptoms of problematic skin (though not always). In any case, the best solution involves taking good care of your skin so that stretch marks are less likely to occur. For dealing with stretch marks and other forms of problematic skin, it's essential to keep your body well-hydrated. Because dehydration can cause dry and itchy skin, which aggravates stretch marks, be sure and drink around eight glasses of water per day. Maintaining moisture in your skin is another must-do if you'd like to avoid or minimize the appearance of stretch marks. Nutrient-rich natural body creams, like Asquith & Somerset's Saucy Girl Shimmering Body Creams, can help improve body circulation, which may result in less noticeable stretch marks. Natural body moisturizers also carry with them the added benefit of reducing the discomfort that is occasionally associated with stretch marks. And believe us, Saucy Girl Shimmering Body Creams will do more than just keep your skin healthy. These exquisite body creams are delightfully sweet-smelling items that our customers love. Order a bottle today and see for yourself. For more tips on keeping your skin healthy and beautiful, read more of the Bath Body Junky (www.bathbodyjunky.com) blog. by: The Bath Body Terminal

As we age and our skin tires out, the elements can wear us down. But there's hope! We already talked about how to take steps to remaining wrinkle-free. Today we have several suggestions for dealing with another skin problem most of us will face: saggy skin. Here they are:
1. Drink plenty of water. Dehydration is a big culprit of saggy skin. Most health professionals recommend drinking 8 glasses of water per day. One great way to accomplish this is by carrying around a sports bottle and refilling it with fresh water throughout the day. As a plus, you'll also enjoy all of the other health benefits that water has to offer when you incorporate Nature's drink into your daily routine. 2. Did you know excessive sun exposure is another leading cause of saggy skin? Remember to wear plenty of sun screen on bright summer days. If you do get sunburned though -- hey, it happens -- know what you can do to treat the skin damage. Lavender is one essential oil known for its ability to soothe sunburns on the skin. That's why Bath Body Junky(www.bathbodyjunky.com) recommends Lavender Bath Salts and Lavender Body Lotion for those times when the sun just does you in. 3. Most importantly, keep your skin clean. A daily natural cleansing regimen will reduce stress on your skin and ensure that you remain sag-free for as long as can be. We recommend Fruitify Juice Soap Bars for an all-natural, fruity solution to skin care. Follow these steps and you're that much more likely to maintain beautiful, smooth skin that shines and doesn't sag. Remember, treat your skin with respect and it will reward you.

For a long time, olive oil has been used to care for a number of skin ailments. Olive oil is rich in vital minerals, vitamins and antioxidants that rejuvenate and enrich the skin. Give your skin a pampering and treat it to some olive oil once a week for smooth, healthy skin you'll absolutely love.
We'll go over how exactly to use this natural oil on your skin at the end of this post, but more importantly, why should you use it? Here are a few reasons: Olive oil maintains skin's youthful complexion and helps to heal skin abrasions. Since olive oil is an excellent moisturizer, it protects your skin from dry, harsh weather and other harmful elements that do damage to your skin. Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, which have the ability to balance your skin's pH level, for optimum skin health. Take the following steps to apply olive oil on your skin once every week or so: Wet your face thoroughly. Massage olive oil onto your skin. If you'd like an exfoliating effect, take a teaspoon of sugar in the tips of your fingers and rub around your face. If olive oil drips down the sides of your arms, don't worry! Wipe it up and rub it into your elbows, which might otherwise sometimes get dry. This is a great routine to add to your bath and body regimen.

As we age, we start to notice wrinkles develop in our skin. This is for the most part a normal, natural part of the aging process. That doesn't mean, however, that we should neglect to take care of our skin to maintain its youthful appearance despite the passing of time.
There are plenty of things we can do to minimize the appearance of wrinkles in the skin without applying harsh chemicals or makeups. There are a handful of foods from the hands of Mother Nature herself that can help to keep your skin looking youthful and vibrant for life, but today we'll focus on one of them: coconut oil. Coconut oil is a high quality wrinkle-fighting food because of its ability to prevent the formation of free radicals in the skin. Coconut oil is also a wonderful moisturizer, hydrating and protecting your skin from the harmful elements that may induce wrinkles in the skin. At Bath Body Junky (www.bathbodyjunky.com), we offer a variety of natural bath items rich in coconut oil for healthy, beautiful and wrinkle-free skin. Asquith & Somerset of England's Coconut Cream All Over Moisturizer will pamper and rejuvenate your skin. Asquith & Somerset also makes an irresistible Coconut Cream Bath & Shower Gel, and a Coconut Cream Scrub for exfoliating peeling skin. Don't wait around for wrinkles to appear on your skin. There are steps you can take to minimize their appearance. Come visit the Bath Body Junky(www.bathbodyjunky.com) shop today for more wrinkle-reducing bath and body items! by: The Bath Body Terminal

On stressful days, nothing relaxes the body like a long warm bath filled with the clean smell of fresh lavender.
However, lavender bath and body products vary depending on the company who makes it. The very best lavender available on the market today is Asquith and Somerset of England’s lavender body wash and body lotion. I am a fan of this product because Asquith and Somerset’s quality is second to none. I love the relaxing soothing smell of fresh lavender. You just can’t go wrong with Asquith and Somerset’s lavender body wash and body lotion. Bath Body Junky(www.bathbodyjunky.com) only carries imported bath and body products that we truly love. by: The Bath Body Terminal
I first stumbled across Fruitify of Australia’s bath and body products about two years ago at a local department store in Maryland. The department store had just received a fresh shipment of imported strawberry, wild berry & raspberry body wash.
I was intrigued by the packaging and delighted by the clean, fresh fruity fragrance of the strawberry, wild berry & raspberry body wash. After showering with this lovely body wash, I was completely hooked and a fan of Fruitify bath and body products. So, naturally when we launched Bath Body Junky(www.bathbodyjunky.com), Fruitify was the first bath and body product that we imported to the USA. In addition to being a great body wash, Fruitify’s strawberry, wild berry & raspberry hand cream and body butter are to die for. by: The Bath Body Terminal

Experts agree that a good night's sleep is essential to your skin's health. Why? Because night-time is when your body restores your skin from the damaging effects of daily stress.
And if you use skin-nourishing bath items, the anti-aging ingredients in them stay active longer when they're not exposed to sun. So what better time to bathe with skin-pampering, natural ingredients than right before bed? Unfortunately, in today's hectic world, we know that it can be difficult to get a good night's sleep. Whether it's the racket of the television or just your mind replaying all the events of the day, sleeplessness can get frustrating. Luckily, there are things you can do to get a better night's sleep and thus, healthier skin (and more). Set a sleep routine. If you accustom yourself to going to sleep and waking at specific times in the morning and night, you'll find that it's easier to get some needed shuteye. Bathe with lavender. Lavender has long been used for its ability to calm the nervous system and relax the mind. An evening bath filled with Lavender Bath Salts from Bath Body Junky(www.bathbodyjunky.com) is just what you need to prepare your mind for a night's rest. Apply a moisturizer before going to bed. Natural moisturizers are even more effective in hydrating you when you're in a cool dark place, away from the sun. When you're well-hydrated you sleep more soundly and, guess what, enjoy better skin health. We recommend Fruitify body butters for their moisturizing avocado oil base. Follow these tips and enjoy better sleep each night.

We believe a woman's beauty is enhanced by her pretty feet. This summer, take good care of your feet and give yourself toes that look irresistibly sexy in sandals.
Follow our five tips for a home spa pedicure that will prep your feet for your favorite open-toed shoes without putting a dent in your pocketbook. Either have your significant other pamper your feet for you, or grab a chair and do it on your own. After removing old polish on your toenails with a nail polish remover, give your feet a 5-minute soaking in a dishpan of warm, soapy water. This will soften up your nails and cuticles and make them easier to work with. Next use a cuticle remover to take off excess cuticle at the base of each toenail. Keep in mind that while you work on one foot, the other should be submerged in the warm water. Use a nail clipper to shorten any toenails that are too long. Next use Bath Body Junky's (www.bathbodyjunky.com) Pedicure Foot File to smooth rough edges on the surfaces of your nails. If you want, you can follow the foot filing with a pumice stone for removing dry, flaky skin. Now apply lotion to your feet to soften and relax them. In the Hand & Foot Care section of our web shop, we offer four Asquith & Somerset foot lotions rich in skin-nourishing ingredients that lend a natural boost to your skin health. Asquith & Somerset foot lotions are available in peppermint (for refreshing and revitalizing), avocado (for its anti-aging benefits), lemon (for restoring skin vibrance and vitality), and arnica (for restoring dry and damaged skin). Because nail polish is uncompatible with oil-based lotions, you should apply nail polish remover to your feet again to make sure all lotion is removed from your toenails. Afterwards, put in some cotton balls or toe separators and apply a base paint coat followed by one or two additional coats and a top coat. When finished, look down and admire a job well done. Your pedicure should last about two weeks. Enjoy! by: The Bath Body Terminal
