The story of how The Sugary Skin started goes like this. One fine day, this Singaporean girl was surfing the internet and looking up for information that could help with her sensitive skin condition. She happened to chance upon body scrubs and realizes that sugar scrubs actually has much more beneficial benefits for the skin and are gentler for people with sensitive skin. So with lots of love, care and passion, she started making her own sugar scrubs for her own use and found out that it's so good that she has to share it with others, all over the world on the World Wide Web. That's how the online store for The Sugary Skin begins.
I happened to meet this young and friendly girl and I received two big bottles of sugar scrubs - Coffee flavour for the leg and the Green Tea flavour for the body, as well as two sets of limited Christmas Edition Sugar Scrubs (which I will be doing a giveaway with! Yay!) Receiving a handmade gifts is a heartwarming feeling because you would think of how much time and effort it was put in to make them.
So a typical sugar scrub is made up of body oil (eg. olive oil, grape seed oil, coconut oil), raw exfoliant (the base), flavour (eg. essence oil). Glad to know that no artificial preservatives is added.
Salt is most commonly use as the raw exfoliant, or the base in the scrubs that we see selling outside. The use of salt is good for removing dead skin on feet and elbows as salt are more abrasive. Sea salt also offer therapeutic effect. However, scrubs using salt are not recommended for daily usage and might be too harsh for those with sensitive skin.
The Sugary Skin uses SUGAR as their raw exfoliant. Sugar are gentler and less harsh thus it's suitable for people with sensitive skin. It can be used for the face too and is less drying to the skin. Glycolic acid is a naturally occurring substance in sugar which helps to protect the skin against harmful toxic and helps the skin glow.
The Sugary Skin uses mainly 3 types of sugar.
1. Fine Sugar, most commonly known as white granulated sugar. The size is good for general usage and not too abrasive thus it's found in their body scrub.
2. Super Fine Sugar, most commonly known as caster sugar. The smallest crystal size makes it super gentle with a powdery feeling. Thus, it is recommended and suitable for the face and lips and is found in their face scrubs.
3. Coarse Sugar are bigger in size and thus will be more abrasive which is good for removing dead skin on the feet. Found in their leg scrubs.

Time to give my body a good scrub! Body scrub helps to remove dead skin cells, oil and dirt from our skin. This is also known as the regenerating process as skin cells shed to allow new skin to grow. The cleansing allows the body to be easily moisturize and hydrates afterwards while the rubbing action helps to boost blood circulation which aids with lymph nodes drainage and detoxifies the body internally. It is recommended to scrub your body twice a week in an upward direction. The only problem I face with the sugar scrubs is that my bath time now extended slightly longer then the usual time. Hehe.
