💟  Benefits: Brown sugar is the powerhouse of natural exfoliants. It’s small, round particles make a less abrasive exfoliant than other sugars. It exfoliates dead cells from the outer skin, while hydrates below the surface of the skin. Leaves skin smooth with a beautiful, shiny glow.  

💜 A 2011 study found that herbal exfoliants alleviates age–related changes and neutralizes environmental attacks by removing dead skin cells from the epidermis, exposing newly formed skin cells on the surface and stimulating cell growth in the sub-epidermal layer. This shedding of the outer dead cell layer also helps to unclog skin pores and keeps skin clean.

⚠️ Caution: Can be too abrasive to use daily. Start with weekly exfoliations.
