Sugar is not only a great exfoliator, but it also prevents your skin from aging. A scrub that combines sugar and a natural oil such as olive oil can help keep your skin soft and supple. The sugar removes dirt and unclogs pores. The olive oil contains vitamin e and omega-3 fatty acids that naturally moisturize the skin.
