- Pure Fiji Body Scrub & Body Butter…This is the best exfoliating and hydrating system on the market!  Raw honey, sugar kane crystals and nutrient rich exotic oils such as Vitamin E, coconut oil, macadamia nut oil and sikeci oil buffs away dry, aging skin.  The body butter is a super moisturizing cream that instantly revives dry skin using a unique blend of exotic nut extracts that locks in the moisture to keep your skin hydrated and nourished.  Milk proteins serve as a firming process to reduce the appearance of fine lines.  Soy and passionflower gently soothe and calm stressed skin.  Pure Fiji is truly indulgent!

NAIL CARE TIP – Fresh carrot juice is high in calcium and phosphorus.  It is great for strengthening your nails.  For healthy nails eat a diet of 50% fruits and raw vegetables and drink plenty of water each day.  Store your nail polish in the refrigerator to maintain its smooth consistency.  Vitamin A and calcium deficiency can cause nail dryness and brittleness.  Never expose your nails to detergent or harsh chemicals.  Wear gloves to protect your nails!
