Suga chat

Let’s talk about raw organic sugar body scrubs and why you should use them. 

Exfoliating your skin helps to unclog pores and shed dead skin to speed up cell regeneration. Essentially you are helping your skin recover quicker from daily stressors (dirt, oil, sweat, sun and wind exposure, diet, products, health issues, etc.). 

Who likes glowing skin? Me! Me! When you exfoliate once or twice a week your skin will feel silky smooth. Not only cleansing your skin, but also feeding it vitamins and minerals that are available in raw organic ingredients.

What’s the difference between raw & organic and most body scrubs that are in the mainstream markets? Most body scrubs contain synthetic ingredients, preservatives, unnatural colorings and scents. You are actually doing the opposite of what you are trying to accomplish by further clogging your skin and creating irritations. Additionally, synthetic ingredients can strip our natural oils that help to protect our skin. 

The number 1 ingredient in Suga baby is raw organic sugar. This light brown raw sugar is a natural source of glycolic acid which is an alpha hydroxy acid and encourages cell regeneration that produces healthier glowing skin. It also stimulates collagen and reduces wrinkles! Sugar is also a natural humectant and antioxidant and absorbs moisture keeping your skin plump, hydrated and protected.

Raw sugar or turbinado is single process crystallized so it retains some of its vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. The crystals are larger and fantastic for a body exfoliator but a bit too coarse for your face so I would not recommend that. Whereas, purified white sugar is the most refined and stripped of minerals considered ‘impurities’ and washed, decolorized and filtered. All natural goodness is essentially removed.

So that’s the scoop on sugar and why I make and use Suga baby body scrub. 

I currently have 3 varieties of sugar scrub here. Lemongrass and peppermint, these 2 organic essential oils are an invigorating mix in your bath or shower. Lavender & honey is calming and soothing for your skin. Orange is packed with vitamin C and boosts circulation.
