Brown Sugar

Sensitive Skin? Rub Brown Sugar in.

Since brown sugar has smaller particles, it is gentler and safer. Brown sugar can also be used as an exfoliator on your face or for sensitive skin because it is softer than regular sugars. However, it is also strong enough to scrub away dead skin cells and make way for the healthier, glowing skin to show through.

Skin Conditions it can treat:

Raw cane sugar is being recommended by dermatologists to treat a number of skin conditions at home:

• Clogged and acne prone skin:

Brown sugar contains glycolic acid, that fights bacteria. Glycolic acid is an alpha-hydroxyl acid, which is important in keeping your skin vivacious and healthy. Brown sugar gives you younger and fresher looking skin by breaking down glue-bonded skin cells which supports cell turnover. It also helps to improve sun damage and offers support to aging skin.

• Moisten up:

Certain exfoliators can leave your skin dry and dull. Brown sugar is a natural humectant so it absorbs moisture from your environment and deposits it into your skin. Hydrating and conditioning, brown sugar helps to keep the moisture locked in. It also guards your skin from destructive toxins and keeps it healthy, nourished and glowing.

Benefits for your skin:

1. Exfoliates without drying up

Brown sugar is a humectant which means that it can draw moisture out of the environment and can impart it into the skin. This means that it can act as a natural moisturiser when used to make sugar scrub and will help keep the moisture in the skin.

2. Sensitive Skin

The grains of brown sugar are smaller than other exfoliating components (such as granulated sugar or salt) that can be used in a homemade brown sugar scrub. This means that it is perfect to be used in delicate and sensitive areas such as the face.
