I am not really a scrub person, but I think my daughter would love this. I am looking at the first sugar scrub listed. Can it be used on the face or is it primarily used on hands and feet?

Sugar Scrubs the best! Wonderful recipe of Lemon Sugar Hand Scrub.
Sugar Scrub
I am using sugar scrub for lightening the tone of my skin and it’s very effective if you use it regularly. Great stuff there!
Sugar Scrub
These recipes are excellent! I personally make my own homemade sugar scrub that I use. I don’t know about anyone else, but I personally have found that sugar scrubs made with brown sugar have worked best for me. In my opinion, the ingredients in the brown sugar help make using the scrub more effective. I have found that white sugar is a bit more abrasive, and washes off too easily which doesn’t seem like it gives a chance for my skin to benefit from the oils used.
I haven’t had much like adding the jojoba to my mixtures so far. The jojoba adds color to the mix but also tends to remain on my skin and also in the tub.
I would love to hear what experiences others have had with jojoba and white or brown sugar based receipes.
