pamperme Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 sugar..I love sugar scrubs..salt ones always seem rough to me..I like them in both lotion type or actualy a butter type..and also in oil..my testers prefer the oily ones..I try to use a lighter oil though.

CareBear Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Salt ones seem rougher to me too, which I don't like. But I have ants, and they attack the leaky jars if they are sugar ones.... Ewwww! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutlandishLady Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I prefer sugar just because there is nothing LESS fun than getting salt in a cut or sore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamperme Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I prefer sugar just because there is nothing LESS fun than getting salt in a cut or sore oh yeah that sucks!

Meridith Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I've made them both and prefer sugar also. With salt, you will be so aware of every little cut on your body. Y--- ouch!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugenia Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 I love them on my face and prefer sugar to salt. I tried a lot of sugars and regualr white is my preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzmarie Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Sugar for sure......Started just with salt but had a son that washes HIGH-RISE windows and his hands were RAW!!! So I made him a Shea sugar scrub with soap in it ...His hands were HEALED within 3 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacien Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 I come from four girls and we all like the sugar scrub. I tried the salt scrub when BBW carried it. I thougt I was going to cry. It points out exactly where you have any scrapes or broken skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Di Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Guess what? I like salt! I see I'm really in the minority. I do agree that it will sting a little bit when used on freshly shaved legs. But I feel it is cleaner than sugar. When sugar gets wet, it makes syrup. Personally, I don't want a sticky shower and drain. Also, I've read that salt is very good and healing for your skin. This is just my opinion and preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aswan01 Posted July 2, 2006 Author Share Posted July 2, 2006 That's what I was looking for - opinions and preferences and the reasons for them. I'm trying to decide which way to go with this scrub stuff. All the posts have been very helpful in explaining why you personally prefer one scrub over the other. Keep 'em coming.

xsami3000x Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 I like sugar even though I scrub before I shave. Also they tend to put the plain white sugar on sale more often than salt, and I know sugar won't stick around too long unused like a 5 lb bag of salt would if other things get too busy.Sami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1 Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 sugar for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokymountainraine Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 I like to really scrub my skin. To feel like I've done something. Like I'm really clean and polished. I can't get that with sugar. I can't get that with regular table salt. I get the coarse sea salt. Stings once in a while but so worth it. For me sugar is like using a rough washcloth. I do think there are some customers who like the softer scrubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magsglass Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 I prefer sugar for scrubbing, with the exception of a foot scrub which I like better with salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
