1. Reduces Rough Spots
Many people suffer from rough spots on their feet, elbows, and knees. A lemongrass sugar scrub will exfoliate the skin and remove dead, dry skin cells.
Not only that, but it will also moisturize the problematic area and will nourish your skin to help you get rid of these rough spots forever.
2. Fights Dry Lips
Another common issue that you may suffer from as the season changes is dry lips. Our lemongrass sugar scrub hydrates and exfoliates your lips.
The lemongrass extracts hydrate the soft skin of the lips. On the other hand, sugar helps you get rid of dead skin and leaves your lips feeling extra smooth and silky.
3. Softens Cuticles
Looking for a way to take care of your cuticles? If yes, then you can trust lemongrass sugar scrub for the same.
You only need to rub some of the scrubs on the cuticles and let it sit for a few minutes. Rinse them with warm water. This scrub hydrates your cuticles from deep within and gets them looking and feeling much better.
4. Helps Acne-Prone Skin
If you suffer from acne, not just on your face but on any part of your body, you can use lemongrass sugar scrub to get rid of it.
The lemongrass extracts help clear up your acne because of their anti-bacterial properties, and sugar exfoliates your skin to remove any dirt or impurities from the skin.
5. Fights Skin Inflammation

The lemongrass essential oil is rich in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory qualities that help fight free radical damage caused on the skin and promote supple, soft, smooth skin.
