What it is: A scrub with luscious sugar micro-crystals that gently exfoliates the skin and polishes its surface.

What it does: Dior Prestige has created a new-at-Dior skin-prepping ceremony, The Cleansing Ritual. Prestige Rose Sugar Scrub is the third and last essential step in this ritual. Enriched in rose, the skin's texture is spectacularly smooth and refined. Instantly, the skin glows with radiance and reveals the softness of a rose petal. As the massage takes effect, its delightful texture transforms into a nourishing mask, infusing the skin with the power of the Rose de Granville. The story of this rose begins on the cliffs of Granville, not far from the childhood home of Christian Dior in Normandy. Here, Dior researchers discovered a wild rose capable of withstanding the harsh marine climate while maintaining its exquisite beauty. Through seven generations of hybrids, a brilliant horticulturist tamed its wild nature and enhanced its regenerative potential. This gave rise to the Rose de Granville, the first rose (at Dior) specifically created for skin care. The culmination of 15 years of research, Dior Science has isolated for the first time ever the secret of its unprecedented life force: a unique combination of eight molecules. This power is at the heart of Dior Prestige skin care.

Research results:

In a self-evaluation by questionnaire by 32 women after four weeks of use:

- 100% said the scrub gently exfoliates

- 100% said the skin is smooth

- 100% said the skin is beautiful

- 100% said the skin looks and feels like baby skin

How to use: Use 2–3 times a week. Apply evenly to your cleansed and moist face and lips. Leave on for one minute, then exfoliate the skin using circular motions. Pay special attention to the T-zone. once the sugar has dissolved, rinse the face with warm water and gently pat dry with a soft cloth.
