"DIY" A Sugar Facial

A number of skin problems are associated with the lack of proper care. Exfoliation is one of the best treatments recommended for healthy and beautiful skin. Apart from removing the dead cells from the surface of the skin, the process cleans the pores, thereby making the face glow naturally. You will be surprised to know that a soft, smooth and glowing skin is as close to you as your sugar jar! Yes, sugar facials are widely popular and regarded as one of the best ways of exfoliation. Learn how to do a sugar facial, with the steps given below.

How To Do Sugar Facial

Things Required

*White Granulated Sugar
*Mild Cleanser/ Face Wash
*Facial Toner
*Cotton Ball
*Clean Towel
*Moisturizer
*Water

Procedure
*Apply a mild cleanser on your face. Wait for one minute and wipe the cleanser with a clean cotton ball. Another option is to clean your face with a soap-free face wash. This will help remove makeup, if any, on your face.
*Dry your face, using a clean towel.
*It is the time to apply a facial toner. Dampen a cotton with toner and apply it on your face, in circular motion. This will clear the leftover traces of the cleanser.
*Now, add one teaspoon of white/brown sugar to one teaspoon of facial cleanser. Mix it well.
*Apply the cleanser-sugar mixture on your face. Massage your face well, with a circular motion of the hand, for about five minutes, or until the sugar is partly dissolved.
*Leave the face pack on for ten minutes.
*Rinse your face thoroughly with lukewarm water.
*Wash your face again, this time with cold water, so that the pores get tightened.
*Dry your face with a clean towel.
*Apply a little amount of moisturizer on your face. Skip this step if you have oily skin.

Tips
*Use the sugar facial mask twice a week, for best results.
*Do not rub your face too hard while scrubbing, as it will leave red marks.
