Sugar – More than Just a Sweet Treat

Your skin undergoes many stressors: increased pollution levels, poor diets, emotional stress, and harmful sun rays, just to name a few.  It tends to lose its elasticity and youthful appearance with time. The skin becomes dry and flaky while dirt continues to accumulate into the pores of the skin. Trips to the spas and expensive skin treatments are not always possible for many of us.

Have you ever wished for some simple, natural, at home beauty routines that can give you excellent results without spending too much time, money and energy?

Sugar scrubs are an all natural beauty treatment that is simple and easy to apply at home.  Sugar has many benefits for the skin.  The healing and hydrating properties found in sugar are ideal for all skin types.

Why Use a Sugar Scrub?

Sometimes just using a soap to cleanse skin is not enough to remove all the excess oil and dead skin cells.  Using a sugar scrub can help clean skin’s surface and unclog pores which helps with cell turnover. By using a sugar scrub weekly, you will see a huge difference in the way your skin looks and feels.

Why are Sugar Scrubs Different than Other Body Scrubs?

Sugar is less harsh on the skin than salt, ground nut shells or other exfoliates.  You can use a sugar scrub whether you have dry, oily, combination, mature or sensitive skin.

Benefits of Using a Sugar Scrub

The benefits of a natural sugar scrub make it the perfect addition to any skin care cleansing routine. Sugar contains many excellent benefits that improve the condition and health of your skin.

Exfoliation

Exfoliation is the process of the removal of dead skin cells from the skin.  It is the key to glowing and healthy skin and should always be a part of your beauty routine.  This process makes skin look and feel healthier by improving skin circulation, speeding up cell renewal, gently removing toxins and deeply hydrating the skin. Exfoliation also increases the production of collagen that gives skin its tone and elasticity.

Appearance

Sugar contains glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), which helps to promote exfoliation of the outermost layer of the skin. Exfoliating the skin with a sugar scrub cleans and tightens pores giving the skin a more smoother, even and uniform appearance.  Pores look smaller and skin tone more even. It can also reduce the damage to the skin caused by acne and other skin conditions. It aids in eliminating fine lines and diminishing the signs of aging.

Moisturize

Sugar scrubs moisturize and condition the skin while protecting it from the harmful effects of toxins.  Most sugar scrubs have ingredients which include vegetable oils such as sweet almond, coconut, or jojoba oil. Using a sugar scrub improves your skin’s ability to retain its natural moisture balance.

After exfoliating, your skin is better able to receive your favorite moisturizer: lotion, cream, or body butter.  Once the dead skin cells have been removed, your moisturizer will no longer sit on top of your skin making you look dull and yellowed.  Now, your skin can absorb all of the hydrating benefits of a moisturizer.  Another great benefit is you will also use less moisturizer. Your skin will feel soft and supple.

Soothing Aromatherapy

Most sugar scrubs have essential oils as an added benefit to enhance your at home spa experience through aromatherapy: lavender = relaxation, grapefruit = invigorating, patchouli = romantic, peppermint = refreshing.

Expense

One of the wonderful benefits of using natural sugar as part of a beauty treatment is that it is very inexpensive.  You don’t have to go to an expensive spa to treat yourself to an all natural sugar scrub.

How to Use a Sugar Scrub

First you must create the spa ambiance

Turn off the lights in the bathroom and light it with scented candlesand tea lights.

Turn on some soft and soothing music

Then put a do not disturb sign on the bathroom door.

Have a soft fluffy towel, comfy slippers and sparkling or enhanced water waiting for you.

Step into the shower and let the spa experience begin.

For the best results, use a sugar scrub while taking a shower. After rinsing skin with a body wash, turn the shower away from you. Take a generous amount of the sugar scrub and apply to wet skin.  Massage it over your entire body in a circular motion, excluding your face (there are special exfliating facials available for the face).   Make sure you scrub all the rough areas such as the elbows and knees.  Rinse off with lukewarm water.  Lightly pat your skin dry with a soft towel.  Then apply moisturizer.  Your skin will be revitalized, feel refreshed and look radiant.

So, be good to your skin and yourself with a healthful, relaxing scrub.
