When the air turns crisp in Kentucky, your skin is often the first to feel it. Cold mornings, dry indoor heat, and long holiday days leave skin dull, rough, and thirsty. A simple two-step ritual of exfoliating, then moisturizing, brings it back to soft and smooth. At Me Care, we handcraft both steps, our bourbon body scrub and a rich body butter, in small batches here in Louisville.


Step 1: Exfoliate with the Bluegrass Bourbon Body Scrub

Dry winter skin builds up a layer of dead cells that makes it look dull and keeps moisture from soaking in. Our Bluegrass Bourbon Body Scrub gently buffs that layer away, so your skin is ready to drink in hydration.

What's inside:

  • Organic sugar cane polishes away rough, flaky skin without feeling harsh.

  • Rice bran oil hydrates and helps skin look smoother and more even.

  • Meadowfoam seed oil helps support your skin's natural moisture barrier.

  • Bourbon-inspired warmth gives it the scent and spirit of Kentucky bourbon country.

How to use it: In a warm shower, massage a small scoop over damp skin in slow circles. Focus on elbows, knees, and heels, then rinse. Use it two to three times a week for skin that feels noticeably softer.


Step 2: Moisturize with Bootleg Body Butter

Exfoliating opens the door. Moisturizing seals the deal. Right after your shower, while skin is still slightly damp, smooth on Bootleg Body Butter to lock in hydration.

Four MeCare handcrafted body care jars with black lids sit beside a sliced mango and a bowl on a rustic table.

What's inside:

  • Mango butter and shea butter melt into skin for rich, lasting softness.

  • Coconut oil adds a silky, nourishing finish.

  • Vitamins E and A help nourish and condition dry skin.


A little goes a long way. Warm a small amount between your palms and press it into your arms, legs, and anywhere that feels tight or dry.


Why scrub and body butter work better together

Body butter on unexfoliated skin tends to sit on the surface. When you scrub first, the butter can sink in where it's needed. Together, they make a simple routine that keeps skin soft through the coldest months: a truly Kentucky kind of experience in your own bathroom for the perfect autumn glow.
