Body Scrubs

Natural scrubs for smooth, hydrated and firm skin

Nourished, smooth and healthy-looking skin? That's the result of regular exfoliation! The main job of a scrub is to remove dead skin cells, whose excessive build-up in the outer layer makes skin dry and rough. On top of that, it hinders the absorption of active ingredients in creams and balms - the skin becomes "resistant" to them. This is where scrubs come to the rescue :). By removing dead skin cells, scrubs stimulate microcirculation - after the "treatment" the skin is perfectly prepared to absorb nourishing natural oils, butters, extracts and vitamins. With better circulation, skin becomes smoother, more elastic and firmer, and its tone more even. Vegan and vegetarian, based on natural plant ingredients, Ministerstwo scrubs do their job 100%!

What scrubs does Ministerstwo offer?

In our little shop you'll find natural mechanical scrubs for both body and face. Body scrubs feature coarser, more exfoliating particles that remove dead skin cells during massage. Powdered coral, coffee grounds or spelt flakes (found in our exfoliating soaps) exfoliate beautifully while you wash. The unrefined cane sugar in our plum scrub, combined with natural plant oils, butters and extracts, gives a thorough massage and smoothing, while leaving skin hydrated, soft and smelling divine.

Chałwa, on the other hand, is the perfect choice for those of you looking for a face or hand scrub - areas where skin is more delicate and needs gentler cleansing. Left on the skin for a few minutes, it works as a nourishing mask that gently yet thoroughly opens and cleanses pores, leaving skin smooth without dryness or that unpleasant tight feeling. Each of our scrubs effectively exfoliates dead skin and boosts circulation - making skin smoother, more supple and softer, ready for whatever the next step of your routine brings. Adding scrubs to your bath routine will turn it into a relaxing home spa.

What to use after a body scrub?

It all depends on which scrub you choose :). After the gentle massage provided by the Chałwa paste, your décolletage, neck or hands will happily welcome a nourishing oil or butter. The marzipan aroma of plum seed oil or nut oil will beautifully enrich and enhance the pleasant, relaxing feeling Chałwa leaves on the skin. With exfoliating soaps, which not only cleanse thoroughly during your bath but also remove dead skin and stimulate microcirculation, applying a mousse, butter or oil (e.g. sweet almond) will perfectly complete your routine, nourishing, softening and restoring the skin's optimal hydration. The plum scrub, meanwhile, needs nothing more than quiet evenings and relaxation to be happy ;). This coarse sugar scrub leaves a pleasant layer of beeswax, oils and plant butters on the body that protect and nourish the skin, leaving it smooth, soft, supple and smelling truly lovely :).

How often and how to use body scrubs?

We recommend using scrubs once, at most twice a week - too frequent and intense treatments can irritate the skin. Śliwka is a nourishing, oil-based cane sugar body scrub. Apply it to clean, wet skin, gently hold it against the body (sugar likes to crumble off ;)) and massage in circular motions. After the massage, simply rinse with warm water and, after carefully stepping out of the bath/shower (the oils and butters in the scrub can make the surface slippery), gently wrap yourself in a towel.

Our exfoliating soaps are "2-in-1" products - they wash and thoroughly exfoliate at the same time. Kawa and Ogórek are really intense scrubbers, ideal for massaging areas such as heels, thighs, buttocks and, if you like a really strong scrub, arms and back. The ground spelt flakes in Orkisz exfoliate just as effectively, but thanks to their larger particles the massage itself is gentler.

If you'd like to exfoliate your face or hands - where skin is more delicate - we recommend our exfoliating and cleansing wash paste, Chałwa. Its finely ground sweet almond shells and walnut seeds gently remove dead skin, while nourishing natural oils and active ingredients support the skin's protective barrier, strengthening it and aiding its regeneration.

In every case, you control the intensity with the pressure of your hands, allowing for a gentler or stronger scrub.
