Regular use helps remove dull surface buildup, leading to skin that looks more radiant.

✔ Helps Prevent Breakouts
By keeping pores cleaner and removing excess oils and impurities, it can help reduce the likelihood of clogged pores and spots.

✔ Natural‑Based Formula
Uses 100% natural exfoliants like walnut shell powder and apricot extract, which provide a strong yet natural scrub factor.

Tip: It’s generally recommended to use this scrub 3–4 times per week (not daily) to avoid over‑exfoliation and irritation. 

Considerations

• The physical exfoliating particles (walnut shell) can be quite gritty and abrasive — some people with sensitive skin may find it too harsh. (Dermatology opinions vary widely; see broader community discussions on exfoliation risks).

• Always massage gently and follow with a moisturiser to soothe skin.

• How to Use

  1. Wet your face with lukewarm water.

  2. Squeeze a small amount of scrub onto your fingertips.

  3. Gently massage in circular motions — avoid the delicate area around the eyes.

  4. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.

  5. Use 3–4 times weekly to avoid irritation.

  Pro Tip: Follow with a hydrating moisturiser and sunscreen during the day, because exfoliation can make skin more sensitive to sunlight.
