Frequently asked questions about sugar scrubs.
Body scrubs are often made with sugar.
Sugar offers a texture to the scrub that is especially for exfoliating, or removing dead or flaky skin from the body.
Sugar scrubs are often recommended for dry skin.
However, it is not recommended that sugar scrubs be used on open skin areas or on the face.
Since sugar scrubs exfoliate the skin, it is recommended that they are not used daily. This is because the skin needs time to recover between exfoliations .
Most people exfoliate one or two times a week. While once a week is suitable for good exfoliation, dry skin may need an extra use occasionally.
Tips for making homemade body scrubs.
This diy scrub recipe calls for sugar. Use a raw or larger sugar granules for better scrubbing abilities if you feel that you need a good scrub. Regular table sugar is effective as well.
