Can washing your face with sugar treat acne?

In daily life, most people have some pimples or pits on their faces, and the most common type of pimple is blackheads. Blackheads are also called acne, which is a very difficult type of pimple to deal with. Its cycle is not long, but it always comes back one after another. People feel helpless about acne. There are many folk remedies for treating acne. Let's see if washing your face with sugar water can treat acne?

1. Washing your face with sugar cannot remove acne

The growth of acne is generally closely related to the excessive oil secretion on our face, and of course it is also closely related to our daily diet and endocrine system. However, washing your face with white sugar cannot break down and remove oil, so it is nonsense to say that it can remove acne.

On the contrary, using white sugar to wash your face may cause your pores to become clogged if you are not careful. Moreover, since white sugar has a high sugar content, it can easily cause skin problems. It is worth noting that during the period of acne, remember to use white sugar to wash your face. This is to avoid white sugar irritating the skin and causing allergies.

2. Benefits of washing your face with sugar:

1. Remove acne marks

Although washing your face with white sugar cannot help us get rid of acne, it is very effective in removing acne scars, because the vitamins and polysaccharides contained in white sugar are essential substances for repairing wounds. So when washing your face, you might as well add a small amount of white sugar to the facial cleanser, stir it into foam, and then use it to wash your face. Then go back and scrub the acne-marked areas, but if you are in the acne-prone period, don’t wash your face like this.

2. Exfoliate

I don’t know if you have noticed that many exfoliating products are in a scrub-like form, and white sugar happens to be in grains. Using a small amount of white sugar to scrub your face can help you remove the degraded stratum corneum. However, do not press too hard while washing your face to avoid scratching your face.

3. Whitening

White sugar is rich in vitamins. If you wash your face with white sugar frequently, your skin will be whitened. And if you persist for a long time, you will find that your face will become smoother and more delicate.

4. Anti-aging

White sugar contains "honey", which is a strong antioxidant, so using white sugar to wash your face can also help us delay the aging of the skin. If you want to stay young, then wash your face with it frequently.

5. Anti-inflammatory

White sugar has certain anti-inflammatory effects and can also be antibacterial. But no matter how you look at it, white sugar is a food. If it is not washed clean, it will breed bacteria on our face.

In fact, if you want to get rid of acne, you still have to make changes in your lifestyle and diet. In addition to cleaning your face, you also need to condition your body. Eat more light and vitamin-rich foods, which are the fundamentals of preventing acne.
