Sugar Scrub

 

Sugar granules are rounder and less abrasive than salt, making them a gentler exfoliant.
A natural source of glycolic acid, sugar breaks down layers of dead skin and smooths the skin’s surface.
It also speeds up rehydration, keeping skin conditioned and moisturized.
For this reason, sugar scrubs are a fantastic pick for dry and dehydrated types.

 

 

Salt Scrub

 

Salt scrubs tend to have grittier particles and are particularly useful in smoothing rough areas like feet and elbows.
Salt also has detoxifying properties: Its trace minerals are natural purifiers that draw out pore-clogging toxins and relieve congestion.
