You can choose brown sugar instead of regular sugar.
Vanilla, olive oil and Sugar
If you have an ingredient in your kitchen that is tasty and healthy, it is safe for your skin too. A pure vanilla extract is known for its exotic flavour and is mostly used in ice-creams or sweet dishes. Get a tablespoon of vanilla extract and mix it with sugar. Here you can use both white and brown sugar, along with olive oil. This combination will leave your skin hydrated and smooth like silk. You can also use it alternate days.

It has rich content of Vitamin C and also antioxidants. Honey is well known for its multiple uses and is always on the top of the home remedies for simple ailments when combined with other ingredients.
