Try a 'strawberry smoothie' to soothe summer skin

Summer activities, such as swimming and sun bathing, can leave skin feeling dry and parched.  In addition, high heat and humidity increase perspiration that in turn, can increase breakouts, rashes, and other skin issues.

Counteract summer skin problems and indulge your senses with the new Softsoap® brand Body Butter Strawberry Smoother™.  Not the traditional "smoothie" you drink, this "smoother" is a body buff wash that contains juicy strawberry & jojoba butter extracts to help skin retain moisture, along with gentle exfoliators for smooth, sexy skin.  In addition, the delicious strawberry scent awakens senses and leaves skin softly scented and completely irresistible.

The key ingredients in Softsoap® brand Body Butter Strawberry Smoother™ are strawberries and jojoba butter. 

Jojoba Butter is very similar to our own sebum, which is secreted by our sebaceous glands and helps to lubricate and protect skin and hair.  It also contains protein, minerals, and fatty acids, helping to reduce water loss and soften skin.  Jojoba Butter is also hypoallergenic and good for all skin types.

Strawberries contain salicylic acid that rids the skin of dead cells, minimizes the appearance of skin pores, and brightens skin.  When used as a cleanser or scrub, strawberries gently refresh and exfoliate the skin, remove impurities, and reduce redness and swelling.  In addition, the antioxidants in the fruit help to repair skin damage and counteract aging effects. The average person’s skin produces millions of new cells every day, and regenerates itself completely every 30 to 40 days. But after the age of 30, this natural rejuvenating process slows considerably.

To help speed up the rejuvenation process and keep skin smooth and hydrated, try Softsoap® Body Butter Strawberry Smoother™ with a unique invigorating fragrance and skin-enhancing ingredients inspired by high-end beauty products. 

An added bonus:  This body wash delivers advanced beauty care at an affordable price, around $3.50 - $4.50 for 15 oz

Where to find it:

Tampa Bay residents can find Softsoap® brand Body Butter Strawberry Smoother™ at mass retail and grocery stores.
