Sugar and olive oil scrubs keeps your skin soft and supple. Olive oil has Vitamin E and Omega-3 fatty acids that naturally moisturize the skin. Brown sugar removes dirt and unclogs the pores.

  • Skin Oil Balance

Smearing sugar on your skin helps to maintain the oil balance. Sugar contains two important components, glycolic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid. These components help to maintain perfect oil balance in the skin.

They will not allow your skin to become too dry or too oily. So all you are left with is a healthy and radiant glow.
