I've heard scrubs can be harsh. How do I use this Passion Fruit and Macadamia scrub gently without irritating my skin?

The main role of this scrub is mechanical exfoliation. Fine abrasive particles loosen dead surface cells while massage stimulates microcirculation. The texture is designed to balance effective polishing with a supple after-feel.

Technique matters as much as the formula. Start with damp skin, not soaking wet. Use a small amount and apply with light, circular motions for a brief time — 30 to 60 seconds per area is often sufficient. Use gentler pressure on thin or reactive skin. Avoid rubbing; let the particles do the work.

As with all scrubs, do not use on irritated, damaged, or freshly shaved areas. If your skin is sensitive, test on a small area first. Avoid combining this scrub on the same day with strong acids or retinoids for the body. If discomfort or visible irritation appears, stop use. The goal is for the body to feel smoother and fresher after rinsing.
