Rinfrescante Sugar Body Polish

Sugar crystals dissolve with water and body heat, making them gentler on skin than the coarser, more angular texture of salt crystals.

Rinfrescante is formulated for the body. Its sugar crystals are sized for thicker body skin, and a dedicated facial exfoliant like our Intensive Age Defying Exfoliator is recommended for the more delicate skin of the face.

Rough, dry areas benefit most, including elbows, knees, heels, and shins, though the polish can be used across the full body.

GLA is a fatty acid found in borage seed oil that is associated with supporting the skin's barrier function. In Rinfrescante Sugar Body Polish, it is included as part of the nourishing complex that works to reinforce the skin's resilience after the resurfacing step.

Tapioca starch helps the polish spread evenly across damp skin, while silica adds a secondary, finer polishing action that works alongside the sugar crystals. Together, they help formulas glide with reduced drag.

Exfoliation removes more than dead skin; it can also disturb the surface lipids that keep skin comfortable. Rinfrescante Sugar Body Polish’s blend of oils and butter, including shea butter and sweet almond oil, is formulated to replace those lipids in the same step, so skin is not left waiting for a separate moisturizing product to feel comfortable again.

Exfoliating before self-tanner is a common step, since it removes the uneven buildup of dead skin that can cause patchy or uneven color. Rinfrescante Sugar Body Polish’s sugar-and-oil formula smooths texture in the same way, though skin should be rinsed clean of any residual oil before applying self-tanner.
