I absolutely LOVE a good sugar body scrub, but have you ever wondered what the key benefits are to using them? Read below for the FACTS!

Key Benefits of Sugar Body Scrubs

REMOVES DEAD SKIN CELLS & COMBATS INGROWN HAIRS

Our skin is constantly shedding dead skin cells and regenerating new ones. Over time, those shed skin cells can build up on the surface. And if you wax or shave, then you may sometimes encounter pesky ingrown hairs. Using a gentle body scrub can help lift away those dead skin cells & draw out those ingrown hairs and help prevent them altogether!

Pro Tip: For those with sensitive skin, find a sugar scrub with small granules that can softly & gently exfoliate your skin without irritation!

UNCLOGS PORES & PROMOTES REJUVENATION

Clogged pores are a big culprit in breakouts! Removing dead skin cells using a body scrub helps to unclog pores, as well as stimulates the skin rejuvenation process leaving you with healthy, soft, and glowing skin!

A Bit of Science: Sugar is rich in minerals like potassium, calcium, and selenium, all which help protect the skin against toxins.

HELPS THE SKIN TO ABSORB THE GOOD STUFF

Clearing away those dead skin cells allows your skin to better absorb your body lotions, creams, oils, and serums, giving them the space to work their magic!

A Bit of Science: Sugar is a natural humectant meaning it draws moisture into the skin instead of stripping it out. Major Hydration!

EVENS OUT SKIN

Clean pores = Smooth, even skin. The best part of skin rejuvenation is new, fresh skin cells! Sugar scrubs can help you say goodbye to blemishes that can lead to unwanted discoloration!

A Bit of Science: Sugar is a natural source of glycolic acid, a brightening agent which helps to fight against hyperpigmentation and acne!

PROMOTES CIRCULATION & RELAXATION

The massaging motions of using a body scrub help promote blood circulation, increasing your skin’s overall elasticity. Massaging with a scrub can also be extremely soothing, helping you relieve stress and tension in the body.

Pro Tip: Incorporate essential oils to enhance relaxation & balance.
