Brown sugar is an excellent skin exfoliator. It helps slough off dead skin cells on the outer layer of the skin. This allows room for new, healthy skin cells to regenerate and function properly. It will also deep cleanse your skin, removing grime and germs from within skin pores and preventing further breakouts.
Brown sugar also contains glycolic acid, a powerful alpha hydroxy acid that helps expel toxins and bacteria, as well as moisturize skin. It is also a hydrating agent, and it locks moisture into your skin cells and guards against skin dryness.
