Product Information
Full details
The Apivita Apricot Facial Scrub is designed for individuals of all skin types seeking a revitalizing and deep-cleansing experience that effectively removes impurities without compromising the skin's natural moisture barrier. By utilizing finely ground apricot seed powder alongside a soothing blend of honey, cucumber, and mountain tea, this product leaves the complexion feeling exceptionally smooth and refreshed. While it is formulated to be gentle, users with highly sensitive or inflamed skin should perform a patch test before regular application to ensure the physical exfoliation process does not cause irritation.

Troubleshooting
Skin feels tight or dry after use
Reduce the frequency of use to once a week or massage with less pressure. Follow immediately with a richer moisturizer.
Difficulty rinsing off seed particles
Use a warm, damp muslin cloth or washcloth to gently remove the remaining scrub particles after massaging.
Slight redness after scrubbing
This may indicate too much pressure was applied. Use lighter, feather-like circular motions and ensure the skin is sufficiently damp before starting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Apivita Apricot Facial Scrub, follow these guidelines:
- Frequency: Limit usage to 1-2 times per week. Over-exfoliating can lead to dryness or sensitization.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the botanical extracts and essential oils.
- Application: Always ensure the face is damp before application. Never scrub dry skin as this increases the risk of scratching the skin surface.
- Post-Scrub Care: Follow immediately with a toner and a quality moisturizer to lock in hydration and soothe the skin after the exfoliation process.
- Compatibility: This product is compatible with most non-active skincare routines but should be avoided on days you use strong chemical exfoliants like Retinol or AHAs to prevent over-sensitization.
