Sugar scrub for body

Dealing with Rough, Dull Skin? You're Not Alone

Most people notice dry patches or uneven texture on their arms and legs—especially after winter or a bout of stress. That roughness comes from dead skin cells piling up on the surface, trapping oil and making skin look tired. Exfoliating is the fix, but using the wrong scrub can leave you irritated or no better off.

Why Dead Skin Builds Up

Your body sheds millions of skin cells every day. As you age, or if you're dehydrated, the natural shedding process slows down. Pollution, sweat, and sunscreen can make buildup worse. That's when you start noticing itchy spots or flakes, and your lotion just sits on top instead of sinking in.

What Actually Works for Smoother Skin

Sugar scrubs are a gentle, effective way to buff away dead skin. The crystals dissolve quickly, so you're less likely to over-exfoliate. Look for products that combine sugar with hydrating oils—think coconut, almond, or jojoba—to replenish your skin while you scrub. Bonus points if the formula skips harsh fragrances and dyes.

How to Use a Sugar Scrub for Body

• Step into a warm shower (never hot, so you don't dry out your skin).
• Scoop a small amount of scrub into your palm. Massage in gentle circles—don't grind the grains in.
• Focus on rough spots: knees, elbows, heels. Let the oils soak in for a minute before rinsing.
• Pat dry. Apply a moisturizer while skin's still damp.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Scrubbing too hard: You shouldn't feel scratchy or sore after exfoliating.
• Using a scrub more than twice a week: Any more, and you risk stripping your skin.
• Skipping moisturizer: This leaves skin vulnerable and thirsty.
• Picking a scrub with microbeads or plastic: These can harm your skin and the environment.

Sugar vs. Salt Scrubs: What's the Difference?

Sugar is gentler, dissolves faster, and works for sensitive skin types. Salt scrubs can be too rough for daily use, and they sting if you have cuts or freshly shaved skin. Stick to sugar if you're new to exfoliating or have reactive skin.
