Q1: How often should I exfoliate?
A1: 1-2 times per week works for most skin types. If your skin is dry, twice weekly is better. Sensitive skin should start with once weekly and adjust based on how your skin responds.
Q2: Will this help with strawberry legs?
A2: Yes. These bumps form from clogged follicles and dead skin. Gentle, consistent exfoliation addresses both. With regular use, you can see visible results in 4 weeks.
Q3: Does this fade dark underarms and knees?
A3: Yes, with consistent use. Dark underarms and knees are often caused by a combination of dead skin buildup and pigmentation. Gentle exfoliation helps remove dull, built-up skin to reveal a brighter appearance, while the 5% Mulberry Root Extract helps improve the look of uneven skin tone over time. Results vary depending on individual skin, but consistency is key.
Q4: Will this help with body tanning?
A4: Yes. Tanning appears darker because of dead skin accumulation on the surface. This scrub removes that buildup to reveal fresher, brighter skin underneath. The 5% Mulberry Root Extract then works to fade existing tan pigmentation. For best results, use 1-2 times weekly paired with daily SPF protection.
Q5: When should I scrub in relation to shaving?
A5: Scrub 1-2 days before shaving. This prevents irritation and helps prevent ingrown hairs by clearing dead skin around hair follicles.
Q6: Can I use this on body acne?
A6: Gently, yes. Avoid active breakouts and focus on surrounding areas. The gentle formula won't worsen acne like harsh scrubs do.
Q7: Is sugar better than salt scrub?
A7: Sugar crystals are smaller and gentler. Sugar also contains natural glycolic acid. For sensitive or dry skin, sugar is the better choice.
Q8: Can I use this on my face?
A8: No. Body scrubs are formulated for thicker body skin. Your face needs a gentler exfoliator.
Q9: How long will a tube last?
