What is a Sugar Scrub?
A sugar scrub is a gentle, yet effective way to exfoliate and cleanse your skin. The granules in sugar help to slough off dead skin cells, while the oil in the scrub provides hydration and nourishment. When combined with essential oils, you create a powerful and customizable skincare product with numerous benefits.
Benefits of Using Essential Oils in Sugar Scrubs
