    WHAT IS SUGAR BODY SCRUB USED FOR?

    Sugar body scrubs are great for exfoliating your skin, as they aid in keeping it healthy by removing dead skin cells, lifting away dirt and excess oil, as well as stimulating circulation.
    Glycolic acid occurs naturally in sugar, and is helpful for cleansing the skin and dissolving dead skin cells. It’s also a humectant and will not strip your skin of its precious natural oils.

    TYPES OF SUGAR TO USE FOR SUGAR BODY SCRUBS

    There are three main types of sugar you can choose from when making homemade sugar scrubs. Personally, I tend to stick with pure cane sugar, with brown sugar coming in second. Pure cane sugar is just right for my skin type, but I encourage you to try the different types to see what works best for your skin type.
  • Brown sugar is the least abrasive making it a good choice for those with sensitive skin, and a good choice when making a face scrub. Since it is the gentlest, it can be used up to 4 times a week.
  • Pure cane sugar (unrefined white) is good for all skin types and contains some essential nutrients to feed the skin. Can be used 2 – 3 times per week.
  • Turbinado sugar (raw) is naturally the coarsest due to its large granules and makes for a great body scrub. It is the least processed of the three and holds the most essential minerals. Body scrubs made with raw sugar can be used up to 2 times a week.

    TYPES OF OILS TO USE FOR SUGAR SCRUBS

    When I first started making my own exfoliating body scrubs, I used extra virgin olive oil but have since changed to jojoba and sweet almond oil. I recommend trying different oils, or mix and match, to see what works best for you. This section contains affiliate links.
  • Apricot Oil absorbs well, is non-greasy and works as an enriching emollient perfect for soothing skin and preventing dryness. Best suited for sensitive, dry and mature skin types.
  • Avocado Oil is heavy in texture, yet soothing and leaves no greasy residue. Avocado oil supports skin elasticity, it’s nutrient rich, hydrating, and great for mature skin.
  • Coconut Oil is moisturizing, conditioning and won’t clog your pores. It also has antiviral and antibacterial properties. Look for unrefined coconut oil. Or try Fractioned Coconut Oil as it is non-greasy.
  • Hazelnut Oil is a pale amber oil with a pleasant smell. It’s similar to almond oil for which it’s often substituted. This oil is beneficial for oily skin because of its astringent qualities. It will absorb quickly and is useful as a base for oily or acne-prone skins.
  • Hemp Seed Oil is conditioning and regenerative. It is especially good for moisturizing dry, damaged skin and works well for eczema and psoriasis. It reduces skin aging and is anti-inflammatory. Hemp seed oil penetrates the skin quickly, some describe it as a dry oil. An opened container should be used within 2 to 4 weeks.
  • Jojoba Oil (pronounced ho-ho-ba) has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. It’s odor less, non-greasy, and penetrates quickly. This is a good moisturizing conditioner and nourishes all skin types.
  • Olive Oil penetrates deeply into skin, making it good for overly dry skin. One reason olive oil is so powerful is because it’s a “humectant” which means it draws moisture into your skin. It also is good for soothing dry, itchy skin.
  • Sesame Oil is rich in vitamins and minerals. Some of its recommended uses are for psoriasis, eczema, arthritis, and as a skin softener.
  • Sweet Almond Oil is rich in vitamins E and K, which helps skin regenerate and maintain elasticity. It is also a natural UV blocker and promotes better circulation. It absorbs quickly without leaving an oily residue and is a good choice for all skin types.
  • Walnut Oil has good moisturizing, anti-aging, regenerative, emollient and toning properties.
    • Enjoy coming up with your own sugar scrub for healthy skin that’s glowing, soft and supple!

    DO I NEED TO ADD A PRESERVATIVE?

    No, since this body scrub is doesn’t contain any water you don’t need to add any kind of preservatives.

    HOW TO MAKE SUGAR SCRUB

  • Place 1 cup of sugar in a small/medium size container and add the oil 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing in between. You will use anywhere from 3 – 5 tablespoons, depending on the oil and sugar.
  • The consistency should be sandy, not soupy. If the mix is too soupy the sugars will dissolve in a day or two and not slough the skin as well, but you will still get added moisture from the oil. If it’s too soupy, add more sugar.
    • For this sugar body scrub recipe, I used organic brown cane sugar, jojoba oil and a little lemon juice. I like the added lemon, it’s an uplifting aroma and is good for the skin.

    HOW TO USE SUGAR SCRUB

    Shower: At the end of showering, lightly pat your skin with a towel, leaving a little moisture and apply the sugar scrub in a circular motion to your entire body. When using a sugar scrub on your face, gently apply the sugar scrub in a circular motion.
    Bath: I find to get the best results it helps to have a nice soak in the tub first, at least 20 minutes. This will help soften the outer layers of skin and make it easier to exfoliate. You’ll be left with beautiful, glowing, soft and supple skin!

    HOW TO STORE

  • I keep my jar right in the shower caddy so it’s always handy.
  • This sugar scrub is best used within 1 month.
    • Gather your ingredients and get your sugar scrub on. It’s time to glow!

    A Full Bladder Can Trigger Cystitis, You Should Avoid It
    ~1.8 mins read



    As is known to all, holding back your urine for too long can cause a full bladder, which may increase the incidence of getting some bad symptoms. Doctors point out that a full bladder can trigger cystitis.

    As a matter of fact, the bladder is more delicate than we think, and some bad living habits can make it sick. The average bladder volume of an adult is 350ml to 500ml. When it's over 500ml, you will feel pain due to excessive bladder tension.

    Commonly, women have smaller bladder volumes than men. But whether you are a man or woman, if your bladder often keeps full for too long, it will seriously increase muscle burden and lead to decreased sphincter function of the bladder, resulting in incontinence, frequent urination, weakness of urine and other painful symptoms.

    Doctors say that cystitis can easily spread, which makes the treatment of cystitis relatively hard. If left untreated for too long, patients will have to deal with more diseases related to the urogenital system.

    Clinically, cystitis can be divided into acute and chronic types. Patients with acute cystitis can take antibiotics, which is usually used for a few days before getting better. For treatment for chronic cystitis, it is relatively intractable and may need to last for a long time.

    Herbal medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill is often taken in this case. It can effectively cure inflammations of urinary system in both men and women.

    Holding backing urine is definitely a bad habit, which is one of the causes of cystitis. Therefore, in addition to medication, you should also attach importance to your living habits. Keep good habits can be useful for us to stay away from bad symptoms and improve the quality of life.

    Water circulating is important for human body, which means you need to drink more water and urinate in time. Paying attention to personal hygiene is important as well. You need to take a regular bath and wash your clothes frequently, preventing germs and bacteria from invading your body. Only when the body is cleaned properly can cystitis be improved better.

    In a word, if you are fine right now, keeping some good habits will benefit you a lot. If you feel something wrong with your body, getting checked in time is necessary. When you are in trouble of some disease, actively receiving treatment can help you pull through.
