FAQ - YUZU Cleansing Scrub

How often should I use the Yuzu Cleansing Scrub?

We recommend using the Yuzu Cleansing Scrub 2-4 times a week for the best results. However, you can adjust the frequency based on your skin's tolerance, starting with less frequent use and increasing as needed.

 

Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, the Yuzu Cleansing Scrub is designed to be gentle on the skin and is suitable for various skin types, including sensitive skin. It's essential to start with less frequent use and adjust as needed to avoid any potential irritation.

 

 Can I use other exfoliating products along with the Yuzu Cleansing Scrub?

We recommend choosing one form of exfoliation at a time to prevent over-exfoliation and irritation. Using both manual and chemical exfoliants simultaneously can be harsh on the skin.

 

How should I store the Yuzu Cleansing Scrub?

Store the scrub in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Make sure to close the pot tightly to maintain its freshness and effectiveness.

 

Is this product vegan?

Yes, the Yuzu Cleansing Scrub does not contain any animal-derived ingredients.

 

How does the Yuzu Cleansing Scrub differ from chemical exfoliants?

The Yuzu Cleansing Scrub is a natural/manual exfoliant with organic ingredients, providing a physical exfoliation experience. Chemical exfoliants use acids to dissolve dead skin cells. The choice between the two depends on your preference and skin's needs.

 

Should I use the Yuzu Cleansing Scrub in my morning or evening skincare routine?

You can use the scrub in either your morning or evening routine, depending on your preference. Just be sure to follow up with your usual skincare products, such as moisturising cream and sunscreen in the morning.

 

Is the Yuzu Cleansing Scrub water free?

Yes

 

Does YUZU Cleansing Scrub contain essential oils?

Yes, Yuzu essential oil.

 

Are there any specific types of cloths or pads you recommend for use with your Yuzu Cleansing Scrub?

While personal preference plays a role, soft, reusable, eco-friendly, organic bamboo or cotton cloths or pads are often a good choice when using our scrub.

 

What is the shelf life of the product?

The shelf life is 6 months.

 

Is this product organic? 

Yes, our YUZU Cleansing Scrub is 97.5% Organic & 100% Natural

 

Should I use SPF after using Yuzu Cleansing Scrub?

It is advisable to use an SPF of 30+, each morning before you are exposed to day light (we are not just exposed to UV rays when we go outside but also through windows) & especially after using the YUZU Cleansing Scrub as your skin may be more prone to sensitivity to UV rays due to some of the naturally occurring properties in the citrus oil.

 

Is this product suitable for acne-prone skin?

Yes, the Yuzu Cleansing Scrub can be used on acne-prone skin. Exfoliating can help unclog pores and improve the texture of the skin, but it's essential to use it with care and not over-exfoliate, which can potentially worsen acne.

 

Does this scrub have a fragrance?

The Yuzu Cleansing Scrub has a refreshing, natural fragrance from the yuzu essential oil. It provides an invigorating and zesty scent during use.

 

I've noticed that my Yuzu Cleansing Scrub has changed colour over time. Why is this happening?

The change in colour is a natural occurrence, primarily due to the organic coconut sugar in the scrub. Over time, exposure to air and light can cause the sugar to darken or crystallise. This change is harmless and does not affect the product's effectiveness or safety. You can continue to use the scrub as usual. 

 

I’ve noticed my Yuzu Cleansing Scrub’s texture has changed?

If this happens, re-mix the scrub to combine the ingredients & use as normal.

 

Can I use this product during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?

It's recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before using skincare products, especially during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, to ensure they are safe for your specific situation.
