I personally wouldn't want that on my skin. It sounds like a break out waiting to happen. Just look for a product that is for sensitive skin.

Try this sugar scrub. It is supposed to be very good for sensitive skin. Not sure where the recipe came from, but she's been using it for quite sometime now.
1 Tablespoon each of sugar, olive oil and honey.
Wet face, apply scrub by rubbing very gently in a circular motion. Remove with water with hands only.

It is great for the body but way too harsh for the delicate skin of the face. Purchase something suitable for the face or look up recipes on creating your own. People with sensitive skin should be especially careful about choosing exfoliators.

It's best for sensitive skin to use a face cleanser that has gentle oats in it that mildly exfoliate skin. Wet the skin. Apply cleanser to your face in circular motions. Rinse with lukewarm water (it's not as harsh on the skin) and pat dry. Moisturize.If you have thick, oily skin, try this every other week. Wet your face, apply some moisturizing soap or liquid face cleanser, and rub gently. With a soapy face, apply sugar with gentle circular movements (mostly on the nose or where you have acne). Wash it off, dry it, and apply a moisturizing face cream. Do it at night, right before you go to sleep.

Yes, it can remove the dead cells and makes it soft and glowing. Take a spoon of olive oil add some suger to it and massage it on your face in circular motion in upward direction (till the suger melts).
But there is a problem in this method, if you try this method over your palm or feet or hands then its OK. But if you use it over your face there is a risk, as the suger granules are little hard they may leave scars or wrinkles coz the skin on face is very sensitive. So you can substitute it with Honey, it has all the properties as suger, and more over its natural.

Actually I have been told that sugar in the raw and olive oil exfoliate and soften your skin at the smae time. They (supposedly) replenish the oil level your skin needs to stay heathy while getting rid of the rough spots.
a lot of this is local lore though. Not sure how true it is because I've never needed it. If you do try it, please let us know.

That is fine for your body but if you have sensitive skin you should really stick to products that you can purchase. Aveeno makes excellent products for sensitive skin and most brands have a sensitive skin line. Good luck!

I would not use any oil near my face to clog up my pores. Why not just purchase a gentle scrub for your face to exfoliate? Try St. Ives. They have one for sensitive skin.

No, its not a good idea at all. Thats for lumpy celluite areas. If you want a home remedy -- try plain uncooked oats tied up in muslin and wet them. After your scrub -- sit back in a bath and apply a face mask made from either mashed avacado (dry skin) or strawberries (combo skin). Enjoy

Only if you want to have a record case of acne.
Use an astringent like witchazel and then a credible moisturizer if your skin is that sensitive.
