What Is A Sugar Scrub

A sugar scrub is usually a homemade blend that consists of sugar as the main ingredient in its granulated form. This scrub is applied to areas where you wish to remove the dead skin cells and gently massage it in a circular motion. However, while using sugar scrub beware that this can turn out to be too rough for your facial skin so we suggest you keep it off your face. If at all you want to apply it on your face, limit it to your nose, forehead, lips and chin.
