Function
-
A sugar body scrub simultaneously removes dead, rough skin and stimulates the skin to feel softer and appear more refined. Sugar is a natural exfoliant, so it is not surprising that your skin feels much smoother after using a sugar scrub. These scrubs feel luxurious and are believed to be mildly aromatherapeutic in addition to being great for your skin.
Types
-
Sugar scrubs have bases of sugar and glycerin, but can contain many different supplements that have various effects on the body. Some are scented with lavender to help calm and sooth your spirit. Others contain green tea or other antioxidants that prevent the formation of wrinkles and make the scrub an anti-aging treatment.

Effects
-
Sugar scrubs are mainly known for smoothing skin. They remove dead skin cells, which makes skin feel softer and can create more even coloring. As part of a morning shower ritual, they make you feel spoiled and pampered before you start your day.
Benefits
-
Sugar scrubs are luxurious, but they have some clinically proven benefits as well. Skin that is regularly exfoliated is less likely to develop psoriasis or eczema, and sugar scrubs can alleviate or even eliminate many dry skin conditions. When combined with glycerin and aloe, they can also have intense moisturizing effects.
History
-
The Romans had the right idea when it came to sugar. They used honey to sweeten foods and used sugar for medicinal purposes. It was also a cosmetic treatment used to draw moisture to lips and other areas of the body.
Warning
-
Be sure to rinse your body completely after you use a sugar scrub. Leaving sugar sitting on your body can lead to irritation, and it can cause yeast infections if allowed to sit in crevices of your the body. Also, do not use a homemade sugar scrub that is more than a week old, because most homemade recipes don't contain preservatives and can end up growing mold or other bacteria.
