The seasons can wreak havoc on the skin. In summer or winter, skin exposed to the elements can become dry, itchy and flaky. Sugar scrubs can be a perfect solution to keep your skin smooth and radiant throughout the year.
Skin Moisturizer
Unlike a salt scrub, sugar scrubs do not dry the skin. A sugar scrub is alpha-hydroxy rich. Alpha-hydroxy is an active substance with exfoliating and emollient properties.
Will Not Clog Pores
Sugar scrubs will not clog the pores and are safe to use on children. They are healing for individuals who suffer from eczema and psoriasis.
Gentle Brown Sugar
Brown sugar scrubs are especially gentle and can even be used on the face or on individuals who have particularly sensitive skin.
Non-abrasive
Sugar scrubs are non-abrasive and can be used frequently. They help to restore and moisturize the skin. Sugar is a humectant, which means it cannot draw moisture out of the skin like a salt scrub can.
Get An Even Tan
When tanning, sugar scrubs help remove flaky skin on elbows, knees, and feet, giving a more even, all-over tan, especially when using a tanning service.
Purchase or Make Your Own
Sugar scrubs are found readily in department and health-food stores. They may also be prepared from scratch at home.
