Every woman wants to have radiant and soft skin to feel healthy and beautiful. Although there are many skin care products that smoothen the skin, it may be preferable to use natural ingredients to feel beautiful and not harm the skin. There are many natural recipes that can be prepared using sugar, according to HealthShots website.
Sugar helps retain skin moisture, exfoliates the skin and prevents any dryness, as it hydrates your skin by drawing moisture from the natural environment to your skin cells.
Natural sugar recipes that can be prepared at home:
Sugar and lemon scrub:
Sugar and lemon work to reduce tan and dark spots. Mix two spoons of fine sugar with the juice of four lemons. Massage your skin with the mixture using your fingertips in a circular motion on your face, and then rinse with water.
Green tea and sugar scrub:
Green tea is an antioxidant that has many anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties, while giving the skin freshness and helping reduce acne. Mix a teaspoon of green tea leaves with a teaspoon of sugar. Add a few drops of olive oil to achieve a thick consistency. Apply the paste across your face and leave it for a while, and then gently scrub the skin using your fingertips to remove any dirt or dead skin from your face when rinsing it.
Oats and sugar scrub:
Oat is a great ingredient for oily skin and acne, because it absorbs excess oils from the skin. Mix a tablespoon of oats and a teaspoon of sugar, and add a few drops of olive oil or honey as desired. Apply the mixture across the skin and leave it for 10 minutes, then gently rinse it with water.
