Sugar contains glycolic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid that is crucial for maintaining healthy skin. The natural glycolic acid in sugar not only helps condition and moisturize skin, but protect it from toxins.
• acts as a natural exfoliator.
• restores balance to skin’s oils.
• One Cup Brown Sugar (when not available I even uses White Sugar, its works great as well).
• Olive Oil (enough to wet the sugar).
Mix all of them and scrub generously all over body. Bath after a few minutes and your skin is guaranteed to glow and get moisturized.
I use the same scrub to even massage the back of my hand. In that, I don’t use olive oil although.
When you regularly exfoliate your skin with this sugar scrub, it becomes nourished and healthier in appearance and glows with each passing day. Sugar scrubs are also gentle and less dehydrating than salt scrubs and can be used by all skin types.
The more milder version of the above scrub can be created for use on face.
• 1 tablespoon powdered brown sugar.
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil.
• A few drops of eucalyptus essential oil.
All of this can be mixed and kept in refrigerator.
Use this three to four times a week at night and you will wake up with the great glowing face each morning. Brown sugar deeply cleanses, tightens pores, and improves skin texture. Sesame oil allows the scrub to glides on smoothly and adds hydration. Eucalyptus oil is a natural antiseptic.
Add one cup of brown sugar, one mashed avocado (I prefer grounded coffee powder instead), a dash of olive oil or almond oil, and a tablespoon of honey.
Optionally, you can mix in essential oils of your choice as well. Combine in a blender until the consistency is even. Apply four times a week and feel the difference.
This mix can be stored in the refrigerator for about 4 Weeks.
• For men, can even use it after shaving, thanks to its mildness.
• They can replace rough pumice stones.
• Put sugar in cut and almost squeezed lemon and exfoliate your knees, ankles and elbows.
• Sugar Scrubs can soften even rough, chapped, calloused man-hands after only a few uses.
• Sugar Scrubs can be used as a one-minute-manicure or pedicure.
• Sugar is humectant, so Sugar scrubs help draw moisture to the skin.
• Brown Sugar Scrub for exfoliating face and body and is great for Eczema and psoriasis.
• Mix Sugar and almond oil and scrub on Lips.
• Sugar scrubs can quickly help heal blemishes, absorb the dirt and oil from pores, and balance the natural oils in the skin.
• With Sugar Scrub there is no need for a separate cleanser and a separate moisturizing product.
• Sugar Scrubs stimulate both cells and senses.
One more better option is to use the Readymade Sugar Scrub by ALOETTE and there one more interesting product as well. It is Ishizawa Lip Peeling With Sugar Scrub and this can be used in two ways; as massaging balm and as lip pack. View details here.
