OH Sugar!

So by now I am sure you have heard all the benefits of what a sugar scrub can do for you... wait you haven't? Well let me fill you in!


Sugar scrubs are a great way to pamper yourself.  It has a soothing feeling and the sugar is good for even sensitive skin.  Now considering that you have sensitive skin then you will need to consider what other ingredients are in your scrub.   But rest assured that every product that goes into my store will always be tested before its posted!


Now back to the sugar scrub.  With the sugar, Turbinado Sugar, it is a great small grain exfoliator. It is small, will gently dissolve and will not cause problems with drains, septic systems or campers' systems.  It is natural and has its own great properties.  Turbinado Sugar retains the mineral and vitamins present in sugarcane juice, and also includes phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, potassium and iron.Turbinado sugar is also known as cane sugar or raw sugar. How is Turbinado sugar made?  It comes from the first pressing of the sugar cane.  



 As with any scrub there must be an oil.  Many water soluble oils are suitable for scrubs.  Most use an oil that will disperse into the skin and feel soft and smooth.  The best oils are those that absorb into the skin, such as oils like Apricot Kernel oil or Grapeseed Oil. The only set back is that can cause your shower to become slippery. Take care when stepping out of the shower or tub after use of a scrub.

There are many other additives you can use in your sugar scrub.  With the sugar it acts as a polish.  It will leave the skin smooth and soft.  But if you add coffee, for example, it has been known that coffee firms up the cellulite in the skin.  So all this time I have been drinking it, when I  should have been showering with it! who knew??

Also there is the cucumber scrub. As cucumber and the skin share the same level of hydrogen, it becomes easier for cucumber to mask all the problem areas. It helps in soothing and softening your skin which can get you relaxed in no time. It has become part of daily beauty product into face packs, facials, juice and many other things which can affect your skin.

It also has a nice cooling effect on the skin.  You can find a great Cucumber and Green Tea sugar scrub here.

As with other fragrances, Lemon is uplifting and refreshing, mint helps with circulation, and fruit .... well fruit just smells delicious!  So just be sure you are not hungry when choosing the scrub for you!  I also offer an amazing sugar scrub for your lips.  Gentle exfoliation of the lips with an amazing moisturizer mixed in.  Just apply like a lip balm and lick off the sugar.  Who wouldn't want that?
