How many times have you gone on a trip and realized that you forgot to pack a must-have beauty item? It happened to me this week. I went out of town without packing my exfoliating facial scrub that I rely on to keep my skin perfect during the cold weather months.
Luckily, I keep a beauty emergency kit in my purse. I always keep a few packets of sugar with me for incidents like this when I need an on-the-go exfoliating facial scrub.
You’ll need two packets of sugar and olive oil to make this easy on-the-go facial scrub. Remove your makeup before applying the scrub. Mix the packets of sugar and about a tablespoon of olive oil in the palm of your hand. Rub all over your face. Rinse off with warm water. Then wash your face as usual to remove the excess oil. Dry, flaky skin will wash away as well leaving you with a smooth, glowing complexion.

Which is better salt scrub or sugar scrub?
Hi Karen. They both work very well. Sugar scrubs are less abrasive than salt scrubs because granules of sugar are finer than granules of salt. I usually use salt scrubs only on my body where I need more exfoliation. I use sugar scrubs mainly on my face because it is gentler on the skin.
