Expert Answer

A sugar scrub can keep your legs smooth and healthy. When you use a sugar scrub, you're removing all of the dead skin that can block your pores and lead to a mild infection or folliculitis. It's especially great at helping irritation caused by shaving, when your pores are already open.

Question

What do I add to my sugar and how long can I keep the mix?

Community Answer

Add a tiny amount of milk or essential oils. You can keep it in an airtight container for up to a week in the fridge if you use milk and longer if you don't use it.

Question

Can it get rid of the rash on my knee?

Aloe vera gel works as a natural ointment for soothing skin rashes, especially the ones caused by eczema. Furthermore, it has antiseptic, antibacterial, and anti-fungal properties. So, you can apply pure aloe vera gel on the affected area and leave it on your skin overnight, or at least for half an hour.
