EXFOLIATION
Most people know that face and body scrubs can be beneficial for the skin because they hydrate, moisturize and exfoliate with a mechanical-type ingredient, such as sugar (or salt) granules. But did you also know that sugar works as a great cleanser? Sugar breaks down grime and grease. In fact, even car mechanics know that adding a little sugar to their hand soap can effectively help get tough grease buildup off their hands.
ELIMINATE ODORS
And for those of you that love to cook, you may find it interesting to know that a nice sugar scrub for your hands can eliminate food odors after chopping garlic, peppers, fish or onions.
KIDS
One of my favorites benefits about using sugar scrubs for the hands is having my kids use them after playing outside in the dirt or anywhere really haha.
TRY IT AS A LIP EXFOLIATE
Sugar as an exfoliate can be great for the lips as well, sloughing off dead skin and giving soft, smooth lips as a result. This can be especially helpful in the winter season. There are so many reasons to try sugar scrubs!
