Lycon Sugar Scrub

Oil-free Lycon body scrub for visibly smoother skin

A body routine without regular exfoliation shows over time: dull skin texture on the arms and legs, ingrown hairs after hair removal, uneven absorption of self-tanner, and rough patches on the knees, elbows, and heels. A good Lycon scrub is therefore not a luxury but a logical step between cleansing and moisturizing.

The Lycon Sugar Scrub range offers the spa-quality choice in this category. Australian professional-grade formulas based on sugar crystals, oil-free so there is no greasy film or slippery shower floor, in six recognizable fragrance families. Every Lycon sugar scrub is available in two sizes: the 520 gram jar for those who exfoliate weekly and the 100 gram travel tube for on the go or as a first introduction.

Why choose Lycon body scrub?

Lycon has been working with professional waxing and spa products in salons worldwide for more than thirty years. Choosing sugar over salt makes every Lycon scrub gentler on the skin - sugar crystals dissolve during exfoliation and are a natural source of glycolic acid (AHA). The oil-free base is also an important distinguishing feature: greasy scrubs clog pores, leave residue on the shower floor, and interfere with self-tanner adhesion. All Lycon Sugar Scrubs are vegan, cruelty-free, gluten-free, and suitable for all skin types - including sensitive skin.

How do you use a Lycon body scrub?

1. Step into a lukewarm shower or warm bath and thoroughly wet the skin first so that the pores open
2. Scoop a generous amount of Lycon sugar scrub from the 520 gram jar or squeeze a dose from the 100 gram tube, and distribute it over the body in sections
3. Massage in circular motions from the shoulders downward, paying extra attention to the knees, elbows, heels, and areas prone to ingrown hairs
4. Combine with the Lycon X-it Mitt exfoliating mitt for an extra thorough exfoliation when you exfoliate during a week in which you have waxed or shaved extensively
5. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until all sugar crystals have dissolved and the skin feels clean
6. Pat the skin dry gently with a towel and immediately apply a moisturizing body lotion or body butter while the skin is still slightly damp - when using before self-tanner, skip the body lotion

Frequently asked questions

How many times per week can I use a Lycon body scrub?

Two to three times per week is a healthy routine for most skin types. For sensitive skin, once a week is sufficient. Daily exfoliation can stress the skin barrier and is only recommended for targeted use on a small area, such as the hands or feet.

What is the difference between the 520 gram jar and the 100 gram tube?

The formula is identical; only the packaging and size differ. The 520 gram jar is suitable for weekly full-body use at home and lasts for several months. The 100 gram tube is intended for travel, complies with European carry-on rules for air travel, and is ideal for targeted exfoliation or as a first introduction to a fragrance variant.

Does a Lycon scrub really help with ingrown hairs?

Yes. Ingrown hairs occur when a hair becomes trapped beneath the skin because dead skin cells block the opening. Regular exfoliation with a Lycon sugar scrub loosens these cells and helps both prevent ingrown hairs and release existing ones. You can also combine it with the Lycon X-it Mitt for an additional mechanical step.

Can I use this scrub on my face?

No, these scrubs are formulated for the body. The sugar crystals are too coarse for facial skin and can cause micro-irritation. For the face, use a facial scrub specifically developed for that purpose or a chemical exfoliant with AHAs or BHAs.
