In the self-care and beauty industry, the
latest craze is including sugar in skin care
products. If you search the internet you will
find everything from sugar body scrubs to sugar
hair removers. The prices can range from $8.00
to $35.00 for each product. How's that for a
product in which the main ingredient can cost
you no more that $3.00 for a 5 pound bag!
To enjoy all of the benefits of a sugar based
product without shelling out the big bucks,
try these recipes:
Orange Cream Sugar Body Scrub
This recipe is great to remove dead skin
and give your skin a healthy glow. The sugar
contains glycolic acid and the cream is a source
for lactic acid. Avoid irritated or broken skin
areas.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cream or whole milk
5 drops orange oil
1 cup olive, jojoba, or almond oil
Mix sugar, oil and cream together. Add orange
oil after main ingredients are completely mixed.
Apply to your body by starting at the feet
and working your way up. Massage in a circular
motion and leave it on for 10-15 minutes, then
shower it off. This recipe is enough to make
one full body treatment.
Lemon Head Sugar Body Scrub
This recipe is both cleansing and detoxifying.
Lemon is very detoxifying to the body and will
also help brighten the skin.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar
10 drops lemon oil
or 1/2 a lemon freshly squeezed
1 cup olive, jojoba, or almond oil
Mix all ingredients together. Apply to your
body by starting at the feet and working your
way up. Massage in a circular motion, then shower
it off. This recipe is enough to make one full
body treatment.
Facial Cleanser
Ingredients:
White or brown sugar
Your favorite facial cleanser
Witch hazel
Water
Using your favorite daily facial soap, an
easy, inexpensive facial scrub can be made by
adding sugar. Simply add a teaspoon of either
white sugar or brown sugar and massage it gently
on your facial skin. Rinse with cool water and
spritz your face with a 1/2 witch hazel and
1/2 water mixture.
Sugar is a natural and inexpensive way to
include alpha-hydroxy acids in your skincare
program. It produces glycolic acid, an alpha
hydroxy acid, which is included in many skincare
product lines. Today's pricey beauty products
that include sugar or alpha hydroxy acid, can
be created inexpensively right at your kitchen
table. You will experience all of the benefits
without the inflated price.
