Can you make sugar scrub cubes without soap?
You cannot make this particular recipe without a soap base. The soap base is what helps hold the sugar mixture together when you’re making homemade sugar scrub bars. For these sugar scrub bars you’ll use a glycerin soap base.
How do you use Exfoliating Sugar Scrub Bars?
The best way to use an exfoliating bar is to lather the exfoliating bar while in the shower and use it on the rough patches of skin. Rub the exfoliating bar in a circular motion all over your skin, being sure to focus on the rougher patches of skin found on your knees and elbows. You can use these patriotic star sugar scrub bars a few times a week, so as long as you watch for any sensitivities on your skin. Some people can use an exfoliating bar a few times a week, while more sensitive skin types may only use the sugar scrub bar once a week.
Do you exfoliate before or after body wash?
It’s best to exfoliate before using body wash. These Exfoliating Sugar Scrub Bars will help remove dead and dry skin from your body so that you can then wash your body as per your normal shower routine. Think of these patriotic sugar scrub bars as an extra beauty step that you use to maintain healthy feeling skin.
