Tips & Warnings

• If you have moderate or severe acne, a sugar facial might not be for you.
• Avoid raw sugar. It is usually much harder and not as processed as traditional table sugar. The rough texture can irritate your skin.
• Limit the number of times you do a sugar facial to about three times per week. If you do a sugar facial too often, you'll risk irritating your skin.
