Too Much of a Sweet Thing?

I recently re-discovered a forgotten bottle of "sugar scrub" I had received as a gift. I tried it the other night and found it smelled wonderful and left my skin sooo soft. I was sold, until I began to towel off. Ugh! Even though I'd rinsed it off, my skin was so sticky! I felt like a popcicle had melted all over me. I jumped back into the shower to lather up and rinse off properly. That's the last time I wash with sugar!
