What is sugar body scrub used for?

This sugar body scrub is the perfect hydrator for your skin. All-natural ingredients, no moisture will be drained from your skin.

Instead you will be replacing lost moisture, nutrients and nourishment for your skin.

Glycolic acid is produced as it occurs naturally in sugar. It helps speed up cell renewal and enhances fresher skin.

You remove dead skin cells and rejuvenate a freshly polished layer of skin, refreshed and cleansed of environment effects, pollutants and chemicals.

This scrub is also a motivator to used to stimulate circulation, use in circulated motions. 

The result is glowing, luxuriously soft and silky smooth skin.

How to use your sugar body scrub?

You can use a body scrub on your feet, hands, back, buttocks, stomach - anywhere you choose.
Your face too - but please use soft and gentle motion.

Apply always is circular motions to stimulate blood flow through your skin. Whilst simultaneously removing dead skin cells.
