THE KOREAN SCRUB: GET YOUR SKIN RADIANT!

Rejuvenate your skin using one of the best treatments, namely the Korean scrub. This treatment is much more effective than a salt scrub or regular body scrubs. This is the ultimate full-body exfoliating treatment that has been around for centuries.

Before this process, you must rinse off in the shower, but not use soap. A steam room may also be used. However, the client is prepared for a traditional Korean scrub by soaking in warm to hot water. Ten to fifteen minutes is a minimum. However, longer is better. The hot water allows the skin to soften and prepares it for scrubbing, otherwise known as seshin. The process involves being rubbed with a special mitt. This mitt, normally colorful, has a sandpaper-like texture that removes dead skin and embedded grime. Other benefits of this exfoliating scrub are detoxifying the skin to leave it cleaner and healthier, enhancing blood circulation, and moisturizing the skin. The scrubbing allows easier absorption of skin moisturizers into the skin. It can improve self-tanning by removing the dead skin, exposing a more natural-looking tan, and making one look more youthful.

Treatments are not limited to women: men can also enjoy the benefits of more youthful skin, upper layers of skin being exfoliated. After the treatment, a good body butter suited to one’s skin will nourish and extend the benefits of this treatment. Choose between Mangwanani’s four body butter products (the African Wild Rose, African Milk and Honey, African Orange Blossom, or Grapefruit and Fennel), all rich cream-based products that contain oils that hydrate the skin and offers it long-lasting softness.

*** This is a great technique. Sadly in South Africa, this method is not correctly done. You can also do this method at home and avoid paying the over-priced fees some spas charge. ***

What Is the Importance of Coral Reefs to Marine Life?

Coral reefs are one of the most diverse ecosystems on our planet and provide critical habitats for many species of marine life, including corals themselves.

Elements of the tropical house design

Malaysia is located in a tropical zone. Its climate is vastly different from countries like the United States and Europe, where most architectural movements and innovations originate. Should foreign architecture designs not be adapted to the Malaysian weather conditions, homes may not be comfortable throughout the year.

In addition, a tropical house may either be constructed taking a passive approach: unwanted climatic elements such as rain and heat are kept out.
