"Want a quick and easy way to naturally exfoliate your skin at home? Try sugar! Sugar is a natural exfoliant and it's what glycolic acid is derived from. We're going to take a little bit of our normal cleanser for our skin type, and in it we are going to mix the granules of sugar. The grittiness of the sugar is going to take away any dead skin cells, and the glycolic acid dissolves all the glue that holds the dead skin cells together. This simple, inexpensive process can be done on your skin two to three times a week, and is a fabulous way to naturally exfoliate, smooth, and hydrate your skin."
