Q&A for How to Remove Dead Skin Using Sugar

The skin on your face is very delicate, and using a sugar scrub on your can cause micro-tears. These micro-tears can lead to acne, fine lines and wrinkles, and dullness.

Usually twice a week is about right, though you may need to adjust for different factors. People with oily skin or who live in warm climates may need to exfoliate more than this while those with sensitive skin should only do it once a week.

You should use this scrub about once a week. Using it more often than that will remove the protective layer of your skin.

You may see results after one use if using the sugar mix correctly, but if you have lots of dead skin then it may take a few tries.

Yes, you can! I find that when I used sugar and an oil, the oil traps the dead skin, so I prefer using lemon or honey, and moisturize after.

Yes. It can be used to exfoliate all of your skin.

Let the mix sit for about 10 to 15 minuets on your face. Apply the mix twice a week. If you put the sugar mix on more often than that, it will remove the protective layer of skin on your face, and start to leave rashes.

Use a gentle exfoliator and a facial brush to remove the dead skin. Follow with a moisturizer. Look for a serum to use on your dark spots.

If the dark spots on your body are caused by dead skin cells, then yes, the sugar mixture may help.

If you use it too often, it will destroy the protective layers on your skin. I would not recommend doing it no more than once or twice a week. That said, it really depends on you and how sensitive your skin is.

Try using lotion to smooth out your legs a little more. It should help to give your legs a more smooth look.

It might, but that's not the intent. If you want to remove small pimples, apply toothpaste on the affected area and leave overnight.

To prevent damage to your skin, only use a scrub once or twice a week.

Yes, just make sure you use the instructions here as a guide. However, if your skin gets really raw after using the sugar scrub you should consider waiting before going out in the sun.

Yes, you can, but since you have pimples, make sure the brown sugar and oil/honey ratio is 1:2 or, to be on the safer side, 1:3. Don't scrub too hard or you will irritate your skin!

Apply with your hand and rub it against your skin in a circular motion.

Yes you can, it works well for this purpose. Just be careful as lips are more sensitive than skin––don't scrub too hard!

No, you should not use it on your scalp as it might be too harsh for the delicate skin there.
