BODY CARE
Tuitui Scrub and Nourish
This scrub embodies the essence of Tongan beauty – a natural product used for many generations to deeply clean and moisturise, giving your skin that “island glow”.
This product challenges you to look deeper – despite it’s somewhat muddy appearance, it’s secrets can only be understood when you have experienced it. Tuitui scrub is traditionally used in Tonga from cradle to grave - in a baby’s first bath to the final loving farewell for the deceased. It is used throughout life to mark every special event such as a 21st birthday or wedding. Families perfected their recipes over generations, using seasonal plants for fragrance, but always with the tuitui nut as the main ingredient. Preserving techniques have modernised this ancient skincare marvel. The Tuitui Scrub and Nourish exfoliates gently but deeply, leaving skin hydrated, smooth and clean. After the scrub, your skin will be left with deeply cleansed pores, a beautiful non-oily sheen, and a lingering subtle fragrance. Use the spoon to stir the contents and scoop a generous amount to massage onto dry or damp skin. Add a little extra warm water if needed, and gently massage all over your body and/or face in circular motions (avoiding eye area). Rinse off with warm water under the shower, or remove with a warm damp cloth. Use twice a week as a facial scrub, or more frequently as a body scrub shower product. |
