Why does this scrub cause a warming or tingling sensation, and is it safe for sensitive skin?

The tingling or warming sensation you may feel during use is an intentional effect of the ginger and black pepper extracts included in the formula. These botanical ingredients are known to create a feeling of increased microcirculation at the skin surface, which leaves the skin looking more awake and slightly flushed for a short time. This is part of the "anti-cellulite" cosmetic approach, aiming to provide a stimulating massage experience rather than just mechanical exfoliation.

For those with sensitive skin, this warming effect might feel intense. It is recommended to start with a shorter massage time to check how your skin reacts. You should apply the scrub gently and avoid using it on freshly shaved, irritated, broken, or sun-exposed skin, as the active extracts can cause discomfort on compromised skin barriers. If you have chronic skin conditions or are pregnant, consult a specialist before use.
