double-edged sword.
Grandmothers had lovely skin because they knew how to employ natural
elements like sugar to their advantage. Sugar has numerous benefits for the
skin and hair; it helps you repair cells, eradicate flaccidity, and nourish your
hair to its full potential, but, like everything else in life, it also has a negative
side.
Brown sugar is a natural humectant, which means that when it comes into
contact with water, it locks in moisture in the skin. It's ideal for exfoliating
the skin, eliminating dead skin cells, and unclogging pores. Two tablespoons
brown sugar and one tablespoon honey can be used to make a DIY mask.
Because sugar's pimples are mild on the skin, several commercial scrubs use
it in their compositions. To remove all impurities from the skin, combine a
spoonful of sugar with half a tablespoon of cinnamon and a few drops of
warm water. Remember that the granules in brown sugar are thicker than
those in refined sugar, so you'll need less water to exfoliate your face.
Sugar may be used on the hair to rejuvenate hair cells and the scalp in the
same way it can be used on the skin. Brown sugar is best since the granules
disintegrate quickly. Allow 10 minutes for a quarter cup of coconut oil and
two tablespoons of sugar to work on the hair. When you rinse it, you'll notice
the difference!
It's worth repeating that just because sugar is excellent for your skin doesn't
imply you should eat it. A high-sugar diet will have the opposite effect on
your appearance, causing cells to enlarge and lose flexibility. To put it
another way, if you don't want wrinkles, don't do it.
