I offer both products, but it never occurred to me that some people don't know the difference between a salt scrub and a sugar scrub! Both buff away dead skin cells which is always refreshing for your skin.
Salt Scrubs are abrasive, but they are suitable for oily skin! Salt scrubs detoxify your skin but can irritate delicate skin. Salt helps to pull the toxins away from the body and ease in anti-inflammation. Salt scrubs manually exfoliate! Salt scrubs are great for the areas of the body where the skin is dryer such as your feet, hands, elbows and legs. It will eliminate your dead skin while it restores and tones your skin.
Sugar Scrubs are gentle and suitable for dry and sensitive skin. They are also very hydrating. Unrefined cane sugar also contains added nutrients of calcium, iron, magnesium and potassium which help replenish your skin. However unrefined cane sugar is more abrasive than table sugar, so you have to be careful when using it on your face.
Make sure you know what you need when it comes to scrubs, no one likes to find out the hard way that they used the wrong scrub, and their skin reacts negatively to it! When it comes to choosing between salt scrubs and sugar scrubs, it's all about you and your unique needs. If you want a product that will offer a gentler manner of exfoliation, go with sugar. However, if you wish to add detoxifying benefits, always reach for the salt!
