In today’s beauty industry, you have likely heard of or used sugar scrubs. A sugar scrub is a gentle and all-natural physical exfoliator that removes dead skin cells from your body. As these old skin cells are removed, this promotes the growth of new skin cells for healthy and radiant skin. Let’s take a look at the top benefits of using sugar scrubs.
Naturally Exfoliates Your Skin
When you exfoliate your skin, you buff away and remove the outer layer of dead skin cells. Sugar scrubs are a safe and gentle exfoliator that encourages new skin cell turnover. In turn, this will help promote healthier skin. This is different from chemical exfoliators, which penetrate into the skin and can irritate those with skin sensitivities.
Moisturizes Your Skin
Aside from exfoliation, sugar scrubs often contain natural ingredients that nourish and moisturize your skin. This will help reduce skin dryness and irritation, as well as hydrate your skin during those dry months. By using sugar scrubs, your skin will feel smoother and be refreshed without any harsh ingredients found in mainstream body scrubs.
Removes Ingrown Hairs
Before you shave or wax, it’s helpful to exfoliate your skin. This helps remove old skin cells and prepares the skin for the hair removal process. Indeed, sugar scrubs help unclog pores and remove textured skin that may cause ingrown hairs. No one wants those pesky ingrown hairs!
Brightens and Evens Out Skin Texture
Whether your skin is dull or uneven, using sugar scrubs can help naturally brighten and even out your skin texture. The tiny sugar granules gently exfoliate, smooth, and brighten the skin. In turn, you can enjoy more balanced, refreshed, and renewed skin that you cannot achieve with other types of exfoliators.
Removes Toxins
No matter where you live or what you do, it’s impossible to avoid being exposed to various toxins, such as pesticides, indoor and outdoor pollution, and UV rays. Exposure to these toxins may lead to premature aging, along with other health concerns. You can use a sugar body scrub to remove the toxins from your skin. Indeed, this will help you feel and look healthy and youthful.
How Do You Use Sugar Scrubs?
If you are new to using sugar scrubs, it’s best to start out with exfoliating just once a week. Once you determine that your skin can handle the scrub, you can slowly increase to twice a week as needed. You can apply sugar scrub both in the shower and bath, so it just depends on your preference. To apply, use gentle circular motions to massage the scrub onto your skin. This can also help melt away your stress after a long day. Once you have finished massaging your skin, just rinse off the sugar scrub and towel-dry your skin. You will be amazed at how soft, hydrated, and healthy your skin looks.
