No spot is too sacred from collecting culture, not even the bathroom. On social media, we're seeing Tree Hut Shea Sugar Scrubs filling showers all over the world one jar at a time, going viral thanks to their stackable nature and many different scents. If you've come across a handful of creators showing their robust collections and you can't help but wonder what the hype is all about, we're here to help.
Vegan and cruelty-free Tree Hut Shea Sugar Scrubs are formulated to physically exfoliate the skin with real sugar, which gives them their characteristic grainy consistency. With the inclusion of shea butter, they also promise to leave the skin feeling moisturized after removing dry skin. Users online also say that the scrubs help them smell better longer because they are highly fragranced, which is why they are often layered with perfumes.
However, per Allure, some dermatologists advise against the use of physical exfoliants because they can cause tears in the skin, especially if used with too much pressure or too often. It's strongly recommended that you don't use them on the face. So, you should use some due diligence when using these. Be gentle and keep them off sensitive parts of the skin. Don't use them every day —one or twice a week should be sufficient. Also consider using a balm after, which can also help your fragrance last longer. TLDR: Tree Hut Shea Sugar Scrubs should be used on the body gently and occasionally for fun. Don't go overboard.
