Is it better to use sea salt or sugar for body scrub?

To keep my light, glowing skin color, I make a mixture of cucumber %26amp; lemon (blended), sandalwood essential oil, avocado oil, apricot oil, ground coffee beans, and fine sea salt. I finish off with a really good moisturizer and scrub myself about twice a week. I was wondering, should I continue to use sea salt, or should i use sugar (raw) instead? I know both can be used as exfoliants, but which one is better and why? Could I still use same other ingredients if I switched? Thank you!

It depends on your skin type. If you have a more oily skin type use salt because salt helps decrease oilyness in skin. It is also considered more of an energizer. However I don't like sea salt because it burns any small but and it can be irritating. Raw sugar is better for dryer skin. Its not a moisterizer but it doesn't dry it out either. I find it as more soothing. So its really just what you prefer. Try the sugar and see what you think

Reply:Continue to use Sea Salt. Regular salt is too fine to scrub and sugar has glucose, that will clog with pours with a sticky solution.



I have a scrubbing cream from the DEAD SEA of ISRAEL that is great..You can find it on ULTA Stores or google it.

It is sea salt from the dead sea.
Reply:I prefer sugar simply because the salt scrubs tend to sting and irritate my skin. Especially areas that I usually shave in. I only use sugar scrubs now.

Sea Salts are better for soaking in a tub.
