Sugar scrubs gently exfoliate the skin
almost anywhere on the body. A basic sugar scrub requires sugar, of
course, a liquid or lotion, and a moisturizer. For a simple sugar scrub, mix sugar with your favorite body lotion to form a paste that you can rub into you skin. What are the benefits of a sugar scrub? It is a great way to exfoliate your skin, which means removing the dead skin cells, excess oils, and any residues of dirt and pollution. Exfoliation softens the skin and prepares it for the moisturizer or other product you wish to use. By stimulating the lymph system, a sugar scrub helps eliminate toxins from the body. Gently massaging a sugar scrub into your skin also improves the circulation of the blood beneath your skin, giving you a healthy glow. Start your sugar scrub massage by cleaning your skin with warm water and a mild soap or cleanser. Then dip your fingers into the sugar scrub paste and massage it into your skin in a circular motion. The sugar grains will gently exfoliate your skin. Rinse the sugar paste off your skin with plenty of cool water, and then use more cleanser to remove any sugary residue. Pat your skin dry gently with a soft, clean cloth and follow up with your favorite moisturizer. You should exfoliate your skin with a sugar scrub once or twice a week, as needed, to maintain soft skin and a healthy glow. Are you ready to try a sugar scrub? Here are a few great recipes you can quickly put together. An Invigorating Lemon Sugar Scrub Combine these ingredients to form a paste: 1 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 3 to 5 drops of essential oil of peppermint. A Calming Sugar Scrub Use the same recipe as above but replace the peppermint oil with essential oil of lavender or rosemary. Almond Grapefruit Sugar Scrub Combine these ingredients: 1 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of almond oil, and 5 to 10 drops of essential oil of grapefruit. In each case, mix the sugar and oil first. Next, add any juice. Last, add the essential oil slowly, drop by drop, until you have the desired amount of fragrance. This simple beauty treatment gives amazing results. Give it a try! Sugar scrubbing will not only make your skin soft and glowing, but also uplift your spirits with the essential oil fragrance. Before you know it, you’ll be experimenting with your own blends of sugar scrubs every week, discovering what essential oils and lotions work best for you.
