I have sensitive skin — can I use this scrub, and are there areas or situations where I should avoid it? — BISOU ANTI-CELLULITE BODY SCRUB 200G - Gridem

You can, but with adjustments. This is an active physical exfoliator combining sea salt, cane sugar and ground coffee, so it is noticeably more intense than a cream-based polish. If your skin reacts easily:

• Start with a small area first — for example a patch on the outer thigh — and see how your skin responds over the next day before doing full legs or arms.
• Use light pressure and let the water-softened sugar do the work rather than scrubbing hard.
• Begin with once a week and only increase if your skin stays comfortable.

There are also clear situations where it should not be used at all:

• Not on the face — the particle size and salt content are designed for body skin, which is thicker and more resilient.
• Not on broken, irritated or sun-exposed skin — that includes fresh shaving cuts, sunburn, active rashes or any inflamed areas, where mechanical exfoliation will sting and worsen irritation.

A practical timing tip: scrub before shaving or a day after, not immediately after — freshly shaved skin plus salt is an unpleasant combination. This is a cosmetic product for skin smoothing and care only; if you have a diagnosed skin condition, check with a specialist before adding any physical exfoliant to your routine.
