Recommendations for using brown sugar scrubs

All these brown sugar scrubs are very gentle and suitable for all skin types. However, there are some precautions you should take into account to enjoy all its benefits.

Remember if:

• Always use natural ingredients. Ideally, products should be purchased from reliable places where they are known to be of good quality. This means buying fresh fruits and avoiding processed ones.
• Store your scrubs in glass jars. The glass bottles maintain the characteristics of the exfoliants. Plastic, in comparison, can change some elements because of the heat it generates in contact with some oils.
• Keep scrubs in a cool environment. Because we use infusions, fruits and oils, it is important that you keep fresh at all times.

Just look for a dry place where there is no sunlight. If you live in a very hot place, you can keep the bottle tightly capped in the refrigerator.
