A member asked:
Is exfoliating with sugar okay?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Exfoliating skin : There are preparations sold with sugar for both exfoliation and hair removal. So the answer is yes depending on the product and if you are following package instructions. Most skin that is inflamed infected or damaged should not have exfoliation attempted at home. This question is best answered by a licensed aesthetician.
