Frequently asked questions

How does this help fade stretch marks and scars?

Regular exfoliation boosts cell turnover and improves skin texture, tone, and elasticity, helping to soften and fade the appearance of stretch marks and scars over time.

Can I use this on my face?

No, this is a body exfoliant—we recommend the Rose Glow Brightening Essence for gentle facial exfoliation.

How often should I use the Refining Scrub?

Using 2-3 times per week is ideal, but you can adjust based on your skin’s needs. Start with once a week and build up as needed.

I have sensitive skin; could the scrub be too harsh?

The Refining Scrub features natural cane sugar that gently melts as you massage it in—preventing over-exfoliation and avoiding the harshness of salt-based scrubs. Unlike sharp crystals, the smooth sugar buffs without scratching, while a base of rich oils and calming extracts moisturizes and soothes as you exfoliate.

do i have to use the other products in the set?

Each product in the collection works effectively on its own, but together, they create a powerful, results-driven routine. The Refining Scrub gently exfoliates and preps skin for deeper absorption, the Restorative Butter nourishes and boosts elasticity, and the Hydrating Oil locks in moisture to strengthen and protect. Layer on all three for skin that is resilient, supple, and deeply nourished.
