Details
I purchased this product a few months ago at my local health food store when I was looking for a more effective facial scrub as the one I was using was too oily and too rough on my sensitive skin. I just turned 30 and I have normal skin with an oily T-zone in the summer and a dry T-zone in the winter. I like to exfoliate several times a week to keep my skin healthy. My skin is in great condition yet it is really sensitive to products. I also prefer using all natural products as I break out with synthetics and I can't stand the way they usually smell. I thought I would give this product a try called "Sweet & Luscious Organic Sugar Facial Scrub & Body Glaze" which comes in a 4 oz. container. It costs $10.95 which had me hesitant but the organic and natural ingrediants used and the fact that I hadn't used sugar as a facial scrub pretty much suckered me in. The first week I used the product once every other day (3x) as I would with a facial scrub. First I'd like to say that when this stuff gets on your lips it is hard not to eat it as it is pretty yummy due to the sugar,citrus,ginger content. The sugar granules are small and suprisingly gentle, not like I am used to so scrubbing was pleasant and didn't leave my skin irritated. I thought it might be too oily after I rinsed off which I don't like so I waited before putting on moisterizer and after about 15-20 minutes it seemed like my skin just absorbed every bit. I didn't even use my usual moisterizer because my skin felt so soft and plump. With daily use of this product I have noticed that my skin is definately softer, clearer, and I don't have such an irritated T-zone. It works really well on dry and flaky skin which I worry about in the fall and winter. I don't have to over moisterize which was something I found myself doing with other products. I now use a witch hazel toner after the scub with a light dab of my sunscreen moisterizer and I am set. I wish the company would offer it in a larger quantity with a reasonable price for the body as I would definately use it but it may make it too expensive as this 4oz. container is just enough for my face. Sometimes the natural oils may sit on the bottom so each time I take off the lid I just stir it with my finger till it is all smooth again. The one funny draw back I have with this is that it really is yummy if some gets on your lips as it has edible ingrediants. There could be worse things! The ingrediants (for those interested): Organic cane sugar, palm kernel oil, Awapuhi juice(Hawaiian Ginger), vegetable glycerine, citric acid, Aloe Vera, grapeseed oil, carrot powder, green tea extract, essential oils of sweet basil, sweet orange, and ginger.

Conclusions
Definately worth trying for those with sensitive, dry skin. All natural ingriedants.
