[Beauty] Sugar Scrubs

If you ever feel the sudden urge to feel beautiful inside-out without leaving the comforts of your own home then by all means, try these all-natural DIY Sugar Scrubs!

Why use Sugar?

Sugar is known to help smooth out dry and rough patches on the skin such as the elbows, knees, feet and hands and also works great for nail beds and cuticles. The sugar granules act as the exfoliating element in the scrub. They are popular treatments at spas because they are gentle on the skin and are completely made with natural ingredients. Sugar scrubs are also safe to use both on the face and body.

Concocting your own sugar scrub is a great way to save money, avoid harsh chemicals from store-bought ones and enjoy the same luxurious spa-style treatment at home.
