How long do Sugar Scrub Cubes last?
Sugar scrubs deteriorate when exposed to air for prolonged periods due to the almond oil gradually losing its freshness. However, the sugar scrubs can last for about three months when stored in an airtight container.
What are the health benefits of lilac fragrance oils?
Lilac fragrance oil is loaded with numerous skin and mental health benefits. The sweet fragrance has an aromatherapy effect that arouses a harmonious mood and eases anxiety. Further, the lilac fragrance oil has astringent characteristics that can help to reduce skin aging and wrinkling.
When should you avoid using Sugar scrubs?
The sugar crystals in sugar scrubs have a rough texture which can be detrimental to skin patches with irritation, rashes, or wounds. Additionally, people with cases of eczema, inflammatory, or sensitive skin should avoid using sugar scrubs. It is advisable to test the sugar scrub cubes on a skin patch and observe any irritation or allergic reaction.
