How to Use a Sugar Scrub in the Shower

If you're looking for a way to make your shower routine a little more luxurious, you may want to try using a sugar scrub. Sugar scrubs are easy and inexpensive bath product to make at home, and they can leave your skin feeling soft and smooth.

Step 1: Get you skin wet. Warm water will soften the skin and prepare it to be exfoliated. It is a good idea to soak in the tub or take a shower for at least 5-10 minutes before you start scrubbing.

Too hot water can dry your skin. A lukewarm temperature of 105 degrees F (41 degrees C) is the ideal temperature for your skin. If your skin turns red it is too hot.

Step 2: To avoid irritation and stinging, shave your legs before applying the sugar scrub.

To remove makeup, sweat, dirt and other impurities, wash your skin first. Scrubbing it on the skin could cause it to get deeper. Rinse with warm running water.

Step 3: Rub the scrub onto your skin. Use gentle pressure to rub the scrub into the skin. This will help reduce wrinkles and keep your skin looking young.

Start at the top and work your way down. Pay more attention upon the rougher body parts such as knees, ankles, elbows, and lower part of the feet. Dead skins cells are more likely to be gathered in these parts of the body. Avoid vigorous scrubbers as this could cause skin damage.

After your scrub, you don't need to use soap or shower gel. Allow the scrub to sit for a few minutes on your skin before you rinse thoroughly.

Step 4: Pat your body dry with a towel. Use lotion or oil to moisturize the newly exfoliated skin. Apply the moisturizer immediately after you have dried off, so your pores remain open and can absorb it faster.

Keep a jar extra virgin coconut oil around. Its high content of saturated fats can double as an effective and cheap moisturizer. It should not be used if you have a tendency to break out.

Sugar Scrub Safety Tips and Precautions

• Do a body scrub once or twice per week. Exfoliating too often can cause skin irritation so limit your use to 1-2 times per week at the most.
• Sugar scrubs should not be used on sunburned skin, injured skin, or sensitive skin. Avoid it after any type or cosmetic surgery, or after a chemical peel. In both cases your body is trying heal from what is basically a trauma. Any harsh scrubbing could hinder proper healing.
• Use caution in the shower during and after using a body scrub as the oils and sugar can make the shower or tub surface slippery.
