Article: Although sugar is fairly gentle, it is still an abrasive exfoliant. This means it tears away the dead skin, and can irritate sensitive areas such as the face. Most people rarely have issues, but overuse or improper use can leave your face raw or painful. Abrasive scrubs are not recommended for people with acne or broken blood vessels on their face. Brown sugar is the softest type of sugar, making it the best choice for the sensitive skin of your face. Granulated white sugar contains less liquid and tends to feel a little grittier. It can work, but it's not recommended if you have sensitive skin. Mix 2 tbsp (30mL) sugar with 2 tbsp (30mL) vegetable oil. Alternatively, use honey instead of oil. Honey is mostly sugar, so it provides additional exfoliation. Safflower oil and olive oil are common options. For more advice on which oil to pick, refer to the body scrub section above. If your face is dirty, clean it with mild soap and warm water. Otherwise, just make sure that your skin is completely wet, so the sugar scrub will not feel too abrasive. Wash your hands as well to avoid introducing contaminants onto your face. If necessary, tie back your hair to keep it away from your face. The sugar scrub will rinse off in the shower, but avoiding sticky hair in the first place is the way to go. Scoop out 1-2 tablespoons (15–30mL) of your sugar exfoliant onto your fingertips. Place this on the location you want to remove dead skin, and being scrubbing in a circular motion. Do this gently for 2-3 minutes to remove the dead skin. While you’re scrubbing, you should feel no pain or discomfort. If you experience pain or tenderness, you are rubbing too hard with the sugar. Wet the softest washcloth you have under warm water, then wring it out. Lay it over your face and gently rub off the sugar. Repeat until clean. Use a clean cloth to pat your skin dry. If you are looking to soften your skin, you can finish up the process by massaging a moisturising lotion into your skin. Do this for 1-2 minutes, and your skin should be silky smooth and soft.

Q: Several factors can overwhelm the natural balance of blood sugar, leading to too many periods of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) followed by periods of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). These factors include eating too many simple sugars, having a family history of diabetes, obesity, and a lack of exercise. Eventually, blood sugar imbalance can weaken your blood sugar control system, leading to insulin resistance and diabetes (after months to years of insulin resistance). If you are concerned about your blood sugar levels (perhaps because diabetes runs in your family), see your doctor. Inform your doctor of any lifestyle or diet changes you've made to control your blood sugar. You should be seeing your doctor for regular checkups and blood tests if you're trying to prevent diabetes. Remember to ask your doctor before taking herbs or supplements, including minerals. High amounts of trace minerals can cause toxicity, so always follow the doctor's and manufacturer's advice concerning dosage. There are a large number of herbs that you can add to your diet to help control blood sugar levels. Use them to flavor your meals since they are safe with no side effects. These herbs may help you get over some of those sugar cravings as well. Try:  Cinnamon Fenugreek Okra (not quite an herb, but more of a side-dish) Ginger Garlic and onions Basil Studies have shown several herbal supplements may improve glucose tolerance. Try bitter melon which prevents the intestines from absorbing sugar. Or, take the coptis chinensis supplement which comes from plant roots and is shown to increase the body's responsiveness to insulin. You can also include a gymnema sylvestre supplement which supports the pancreas in producing insulin. Some of these herbal supplements, like bitter melon, may interact with other glucose-regulating medications. Always talk to your doctor before introducing a supplement. Take alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) and CoEnzyme Q10 (CoQ10). These antioxidants can control blood sugar levels. ALA stabilizes blood sugar levels and CoQ10 is an antioxidant produced in all cells. CoQ10 levels are lower in diabetics, so supplementing may reduce your risk of the disease. You may want to take carnitine, which comes from amino acids. Carnitine can control blood sugar and blood fats by converting fat into energy. Healthy fats like omega-3s can reduce the inflammation caused by high blood sugar levels and may. Consider taking an omega-3 fatty acid supplement, evening primrose oil supplement, or flaxseed oil. These are all good sources of healthy fats. Research has shown that omega-3s work well when combined with additional treatment for insulin resistance. Several B-vitamins work to regulate glucose, prevent nerve damage, and prevent cholesterol. Look for biotin (a B-complex), niacin (another B-complex vitamin), vitamin B6, and vitamin B12. You may want to include a vitamin C supplement because it can reduce insulin resistance. Vitamin D may also be helpful in improving insulin sensitivity. Always follow the manufacturer's dosing instructions for vitamins. Include minerals in your supplement. Several important minerals can maintain blood glucose levels. These include magnesium, zinc, chromium, vanadium, potassium, manganese, and selenium.
A:
Consider your risk for insulin resistance. Talk with your doctor. Cook with herbs to control your blood sugar. Add herbal supplements to your diet. Take antioxidants. Use an omega-3 fatty acid supplement. Take a vitamin supplement.
