INDIGO SCRUB NILA

Indigo scrub is a type of exfoliating skincare product that typically incorporates indigo powder or indigo extract as one of its key ingredients. Indigo, derived from the indigo plant (Indigofera tinctoria), has been used for centuries in various cultures, primarily for its vibrant blue dye. However, it has also gained popularity in skincare due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and calming properties.

An Indigo scrub is typically formulated to:

1. Exfoliate: The scrub helps to remove dead skin cells, promoting smoother, brighter skin by using gentle exfoliants like indigo powder, sugar, or salt.
2. Sooth Irritated Skin: Indigo extract has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects, making it suitable for sensitive, inflamed, or acne-prone skin. It can help calm redness, irritation, and reduce the appearance of blemishes.
3. Detoxify: Indigo is thought to have detoxifying properties that help remove impurities and environmental toxins from the skin, leaving it clearer and more radiant.
4. Brighten: The natural blue hue of indigo can help give the skin a healthy, fresh glow, making it look more radiant and even-toned.

Typically, the scrub will also contain ingredients like essential oils, vitamins, and minerals to enhance skin nourishment and further promote hydration and healing.

Indigo scrubs can be applied in a circular motion to damp skin, then rinsed off to reveal smoother, more refreshed skin. They are often used on the face and body to target areas that need exfoliation and revitalization. However, it’s important to patch-test first, especially if you have sensitive skin, as some scrubs may contain gritty particles that could irritate the skin if not used gently.
