How Sweet It Is: Sugar Scrubs
By Debbie Steele
I love the idea of exfoliating to remove rough, dead skin. I
have tried a wide variety of exfoliating substances, including
ground walnut shells, salt, loofah bits, cornmeal and ground
pumice.
I've discovered that some of these ingredients can be
a little harsh. I was intrigued, then, to hear a claim that
sugar is a non-drying exfoliant. In addition, sugar scrubs
typically contain an abundance of oil, so they promise to be
very moisturizing. Still, I had reservations.
Would these
products make my skin feel velvety soft, or just be a gooey
mess? Well, after trying several sugar scrubs, I'm happy to
report that overall, these products are both enjoyable and
effective.

I'll conclude with this thought: If the idea of a sugar scrub
appeals to you at all, then by all means try one, either one
of those mentioned here or another offering. They are truly a
unique and functional addition to your home spa arsenal.
