To rid her skin of dirt and dead skin cells, the Armenian beauty adds a spoonful of sugar to her body wash "for a gentle exfoliating experience".
Kimmy is clearly on to something. Sugar is a great gentle exfoliant; it is abrasive enough to remove dead skin cells without damaging or irritating the skin. Even better, sugar is a natural ingredient that contains glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxyl acid (AHA) that helps treat acne and pigmentation and diminish fine lines.
