Why does use olive and soy oils for scrubs?
Olive oil attracts external moisture to the skin and still allows normal functions of the skin to take place (sweating, shedding of dead skin and releasing sebum). Soybean oil is a great source of Vitamin E, which is the most effective anti-oxidant. It protects cellular structures against damage from free radicals and moisturizes the skin from within, reducing UV-induced skin damage.
