What is a Sugar Scrub? 

First off, let’s talk about face scrubs. These are the products that mechanically exfoliate dead skin cells that build up on the surface of the skin. A sugar scrub is a type of face scrub with sugar granules used to physically exfoliate the dead skin cell build-up. It provides gentle exfoliation than other face scrubs.

Benefits of Sugar Scrubs

Now let’s explore the many benefits of sugar scrubs.

It provides gentle exfoliation.

As previously mentioned, sugar scrubs offer gentle exfoliation to the skin. This is something that makes sugar scrubs better than other face scrubs that may be harsh on your skin. The scrub’s exfoliation process begins with the sugar granules melting onto the skin. Next, it removes the dead skin cell build-up at the top layer of the skin. Then it removes impurities, dirt, as well as excess oil.

It brightens the skin and leaves a radiant complexion.

With the removal of the dead skin cells, the application of sugar scrubs will leave your skin with a brighter and more radiant complexion. Moreover, it can be effective in preventing problems related to tanned skin. And, like all exfoliating products, it also promotes circulation to make your skin plump with a natural blush.

It moisturizes the skin.

Sugar, especially brown sugar, is identified as a natural humectant. This means that it draws moisture from its environment then transfers it to the skin. As a result, it becomes a natural moisturizer that will keep your skin hydrated and soft at the same time. 

It prevents acne and removes scars.

Acne is caused by the build-up of dirt, oil, dead skin cells, and other impurities on the skin. Exfoliating will help remove these impurities and prevent acne. Also, sugar such as brown sugar has antibacterial properties to fight off acne bacteria.
