Are you ready for your first taste of food-inspired beauty? Our September ‘Delicious Beauty’ edit is filled with not 5 but 6 skincare, haircare and cosmetic products that smell good enough to eat. Your first sneak peek? A black tea body scrub!
About The Original Black Tea Body Scrub
Your September edit includes an incredible black tea body scrub. Brought to you by up-and-coming skincare brand Delhicious Body, it is filled with caffeine and antioxidants that buff away dry skin, fade marks and cleanse toxins. Better yet, it is 100% natural, vegan and cruelty-free.
What’s The Secret Recipe?
This black tea body scrub is hands down one of the best body scrubs I’ve ever used. A cleanser, exfoliator, hydrator and protector all in one, it does wonders for your skin – but what’s the secret recipe?
- Himalayan Pink Salt Cleanses Your Skin: Rich in minerals, Himalayan pink salt acts as a powerful detoxifier. It cleanses the toxins from your skin, making it look refreshed and nourished.
- Brown Sugar Acts As An Exfoliator: Instead of relying on microbeads, this body scrub uses brown sugar as its exfoliator. Natural and effective, it buffs away dry and flaky cells, revealing the fresh and healthy skin beneath.
- Black Assam Tea Reinvigorates Your Skin: This tea leaf has the highest concentration of caffeine when it comes to teas. Filled with antioxidants, it reinvigorates your skin and helps to reduce the appearance of cellulite.
- Sweet Almond Oil Hydrates Deeply: Founders Zak and Zara like to think of sweet almond oil as the equivalent of a cold and refreshing drink on a hot Indian summer’s day. It not only deeply hydrates and quenches thirsty skin, but it also helps your skin to retain moisture.
- Essential Oils Protect Your Skin: The last ingredient? A blend of invigorating essential oils that protect your skin from free radical damage. As an added bonus, these oils also make your skin smell divine!
Making The Most Of Your Scrub
Use gentle circular motions to massage a handful of scrub into your wet skin. Focus on areas that are particularly dry or need a little extra TLC. You can then rinse off and admire your soft, smooth skin.
Feel free to use this scrub two to three times a week, though I’d recommend only doing it once a week if you have very sensitive skin.
The Story Behind The Brand
Husband and wife Zak and Zara founded Delhicious Body two years ago when they were pregnant with their first child. Zara suffered from several pregnancy-related skin issues, including stretch marks, uneven skin colour and very dry skin. After searching high and low for a product that would soothe her skin, the couple decided to go back to their roots and use a natural Ayurvedic healing system. That’s how they developed this caffeine-based scrub.
After seeing the incredible effect it had on Zara's skin, the couple decided to share their knowledge with the rest of the UK. Their range of caffeine-based body scrubs is designed to fade marks, reduce acne and leave you with glowing skin from head to toe.
Other Products In The Range
While you’ve just received the Original Black Tea scrub, they offer two other formulations:
1. The Coconut Black Tea Body Scrub
This is particular effective for dry skin. Formulated with desiccated coconut, it is even more hydrating than the Original scrub.
2. Mint Black Tea Body Scrub
The gym goers among you will also be pleased to hear about their Mint Black Tea Body Scrub. Blended with peppermint oil, it soothes aching muscles and helps to refresh sweaty skin.
Supporting A Chari-tea
This is a heart-warming fact Glossies. Delhicious Body donate 10% of all profits to Stop the Traffik, a charity that is committed to ending human trafficking.
Did you know that over 10 million people in India are dependent on the tea industry to make their livelihood? Tragically though, their low wages and poor working conditions make them targets for human traffickers. Delhicious Body want to put an end to this.
Every time you buy a Delhicious Body product, you help:
- Improve the working conditions on tea plantations.
- Develop new tools and resources to identify how and where trafficking is happening.
- Give people the training they need to be able to spot the signs and respond to human trafficking within their communities.
Delhicious Body really is a wonderful brand that is out to make a difference! We can’t wait for you to try this incredible scrub.
