5 Ways to Use One DIY Brown Sugar Scrub

Summer is here and you want the most touchable, smooth skin ever! Did you know that by using the same brown sugar found in your kitchen is one of the most effective, natural yet budget conscious ways to achieve this? It really is. You may think I’m joking but I am not. That being said here are five different ways to use brown sugar as an all over body scrub to prep you for hot summer days and nights! 

Starting from head to toe, first up is a lip scrub.

1. Lip Scrub

Lips can be the softest and most attractive feature on your face but if they are dry, cracked and peeling then it is definitely an eye sore in need of treatment. The best time to do scrub is anytime. More specifically when you plan to wear a matte lipstick or any “look at me” lip product. Have you ever seen cracked lips with lipstick on top? Not very attractive.

2. Bumpy Skin

You know that rough, bumpy skin on the back off your thighs that irritate you so much that you think if you scratch it somehow you will unclogged the inflammation and smooth it out? WRONG. By continuing to scratch you are doing more harm than good. So rather it be clogged pores, goosebumps or whiteheads, using raw brown sugars as an exfoliating treatment can help smooth the skin.

3. Facial Scrub

There are so many scrubs on the market that contain plastic “micro-beads” that can penetrate through your skin causing unnecessary clogged pores and breakouts. Now with raw brown sugar granules, it gently removes dirt, impurities and makeup while dissolving and softening the skin.

4. Pedicure Perfecter

It’s pedicure season and with DIY pedicures seeming to be the go to for both the budget conscious and the “no more nail salons for me” every pedicure has to look like a pro did it. And the best way to make it perfect is to sure use a brown sugar as exfoliating treatment to smooth out calluses on the soles of your feet as well as the thick skin build up around your heels.

5. Uneven Skin Tone Corrector

As a brown skin individual I know the self conscious feeling of having dark areas around my elbows and under my arms. Judging by the fact that you’re a brown skin individual as well I am sure you definitely can relate. To gradually fade the discoloration add a teaspoon of lemon juice to brown sugar before exfoliating the area. The brown sugar will smooth the area was acidity of the lemon juice will gradually lighten the skin.

When you use brown sugar as an entire body scrub you will see why this should always be in your skincare treatment stash. But remember though, only rub it on the desired area for about 30 seconds with minimal amount of pressure. Rinse then apply your skin or lip products.
