5. Sugar
Sugar scrubs are a popular cosmetic product that many people swear by, especially when it comes to homemade beauty products. And some of them are onto something, because sugar is a great exfoliation tool and can be used on many parts of the body.
This is also the reason why you shouldn’t be using it on your face. It’s too exfoliating, which means it draws out all the moisture from your face and leaves it dehydrated. Sugar can be made up of tiny particles, but the hard surface can end up scratching or damaging the very sensitive skin of your face. All of this can lead to damaged skin, acne, and allergies.
