## Questions and answers

### What does black sugar do for the skin?

Black [sugar](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/sugar) helps exfoliate the skin to remove dead cells and smooth texture. It may also help hydrate the skin and improve overall radiance.

### How do you use black sugar?

You use black sugar as a physical exfoliant in skincare products, typically a few times a week. It helps gently slough away dead skin cells to reveal a smoother complexion. Always follow the specific instructions on your product's label for the best results.

### Should you use black sugar in the morning or at night?

You should use black sugar at night because it provides a strong physical exfoliation that can leave skin sensitive to sunlight the next day.

### Can you use black sugar every day?

You should not use black sugar every day because its physical exfoliation is too harsh for daily use. It is best used one to two times a week to avoid skin irritation.

### Does black sugar cause purging or irritation?

Black sugar is a physical exfoliant that may cause skin irritation, redness, or micro-tears if rubbed too harshly. It is unlikely to cause true chemical purging, but sensitive skin types should use it gently and infrequently.

### Which skin types is black sugar best for?

Black sugar is best for normal and combination skin types. It helps gently exfoliate and smooth rough areas.
