Normal to oily skin: 2 to 3 times a week is ideal.

Sensitive or dry skin: Stick to 1 time a week to avoid over-exfoliating or stripping your natural skin barrier.

Pro-tip: Listen to your skin—if it feels tight, red, or irritated, dial back the frequency.

Use your body wash first.

Cleansing removes surface dirt, sweat, and oil so the scrub can work directly on dead skin cells.

The warm water from your shower softens the skin, making exfoliation more effective and gentle.

If your scrub leaves behind rich, nourishing oils, washing afterwards would just wash those beneficial oils away!

Step 1: Wash your body with warm water and your favorite body wash.

Step 2: Scoop out a small amount of scrub and apply it to wet skin.

Step 3: Gently massage in circular motions using light pressure.

Step 4: Rinse thoroughly with warm water and gently pat dry with a towel.

Step 5: Always lock in moisture with a hydrating lotion or body butter while your skin is still damp.

Short answer: No, keep body scrubs for the body.

The skin on your body is much thicker than the delicate skin on your face. Body scrub exfoliants (like coarse sugar, sea salt, or crushed shells) can cause micro-tears on facial skin. For your face, use a facial exfoliant formulated specifically for delicate skin like Formaing Cloud Face Scrub

Exfoliate BEFORE shaving.
Exfoliating first lifts trapped hairs and removes dead skin cells that clog razor blades, which helps prevent razor burn and ingrown hairs. Never scrub immediately after shaving, as freshly shaved skin is sensitized and will sting.

Skip active flare-ups: Avoid scrubbing over open wounds, sunburns, active eczema/psoriasis patches, or inflamed acne.

Gentle formulas: If you are prone to dryness or sensitivity, opt for gentle scrubs like our Foaming Body Scrubs
