Is sugar scrub good for your skin?
Sugar is one of the best natural beauty ingredients to exfoliate your skin. Sugar scrubs are mild and help remove dead skin. They also help rejuvenate the skin by cleaning all the dirt from the skin pores. With all the dead skin and dirt removed, the new skin is more radiant and you will have a healthier glow.
How many times a week should you use sugar scrub?
As with most exfoliants, sugar scrubs should be used one or two times per week to avoid over-exfoliation and a disrupted natural skin barrier. People with oily skin types can use a sugar scrub up to three times a week.
How long do you leave sugar scrub on?
To use a scrub, first take a 5 to 10 minute shower, which will soften your skin and make it easier to exfoliate. After shower, massage the scrub into your skin in gentle, circular motions. For extra smooth skin, let the scrub sit on your body for a couple of minutes. Then, rinse it off with warm water.
