The Most Important Thing About This Facial Scrub Is...

This is a targeted exfoliant designed to keep your skin’s natural renewal process on the right track. It tackles the buildup of lifeless skin cells that can often make the face look tired or feel rough to the touch. The biggest benefit is the use of rounded apricot seed granules, which provide a satisfying scrub that is effective yet mindful of your skin’s delicate surface.

Why You’ll Love This Exfoliator:

• It instantly buffs away dry, flaky patches to reveal a fresh and radiant glow.
• The creamy, moisturising base ensures your skin feels nurtured rather than stripped after scrubbing.
• It helps to refine the appearance of pores and creates an incredibly smooth canvas for your serums.
• This simple addition to your weekly routine saves your complexion from looking lacklustre and congested.

Suitable for use 1-2 times per week.

Before cleansing, wet face and apply scrub to entire face, avoiding the delicate eye area.

Rinse with cool or lukewarm water.

Hero Ingredients:

Finely Milled Apricot Seed Granules are the star, shaped into rounded particles to provide physical exfoliation without the harshness of irregular, jagged alternatives. The creamy base acts as a buffer, cushioning the skin during the massage and providing a boost of hydration to ensure a soft finish.

What Does It Feel and Smell Like?

The scrub has a dense, rich, and comforting cream texture packed with tiny, uniform grains that you can really feel working. It glides over damp skin easily and rinses away cleanly. It is fragrance-free, smelling only of the clean, natural botanical ingredients within.

The Best Way To Use It:

Once or twice a week, apply the scrub to a wet face before your main cleanse. Massage it in very gentle, circular motions, paying extra attention to the nose and chin where congestion often hides. My expert tip? Always use lukewarm or cool water to rinse; hot water can make your skin more sensitive after exfoliation, so keeping it cool helps to soothe and close your pores.
