Start by matching your skin type and sensitivity to the scrub’s texture and fragrance. A 650ml bottle offers a long‑lasting supply, so consider whether you want a gentle or a more abrasive exfoliant. Choose a product that suits your intended use (face or body) and stick with trusted brands like St Ives or similar lines to ensure gentler fruit‑based scrubs.

Texture and particle size determine how abrasive the scrub feels. Larger, irregular granules provide stronger exfoliation and are better for rough areas, while finer, smooth particles are gentler on sensitive skin. If you have redness or irritation, opt for a milder option and use light pressure.

Beginner users should start with once per week and very light massage to assess tolerance. An experienced user can often use it 2 to 3 times a week if the skin tolerates that level of exfoliation. Always listen to your skin and adjust frequency accordingly, and avoid using on broken or irritated areas.

Patch test on a small area before first use and when trying new skincare products. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and keep the lid tightly closed. Avoid layering with other strong actives on the same day, and rinse thoroughly after use before applying moisturizer or sunscreen.

Use it after cleansing and before moisturizing, typically 1 to 2 times per week depending on your skin. Pair it with a gentle cleanser and a hydrating moisturizer, and consider SPF in the day if you are using actives elsewhere. If you prefer variety, you can alternate with milder exfoliants from similar brands like Aveeno or NIVEA to suit your routine.
