DIY Sugar Scrub Ingredients

Basically, there are three types of sugar.  You should choose the one that best suits your skin type.

  1. Turbinado unrefined raw sugar: a light-colored cane sugar that is minimally processed. Therefore, of the three it is the one with the most health benefits.  The size of its crystals is larger than both brown sugar and white refined or unrefined sugar. I would recommend using only 1 to 2 times per week.
  2. Pure Cane unrefined white sugar: not as course as Turbinado still contains some of the essential nutrients and works well with all skin types. Suggested use 2 to 3 times per week.
  3. Brown Sugar: a great choice for those with sensitive skin because of the three it is the least abrasive. Therefore, this choice maybe used 3-4 times per week.
