Frequently asked questions
Q: How often should I exfoliate with this scrub?
A: 1-2 times a week is ideal for most skin types. Over-exfoliating can irritate the skin, so start once a week and increase if your skin tolerates it well.
Q: Should I use a moisturiser after exfoliating?
A: Yes, always follow up with a hydrating moisturiser after exfoliating to replenish moisture and support your skin barrier. This also helps active ingredients absorb more effectively.
