Dewy Face Scrub is a cream-based physical exfoliator. Walnut shell powder and bentonite clay lift away dead surface cells and build-up, while a base of aloe vera, shea butter, olive-derived squalane, glycerin and honey keeps the scrub from feeling harsh or drying. Tulsi, neem, green tea and cucumber extracts and 2% niacinamide round out the formula. It is for dull, rough or flaky skin that needs a twice-weekly reset. Expect a noticeably grainy texture with a creamy slip, and skin that feels smooth and soft after rinsing.
How to use
- Cleanse, and leave your skin damp.
- Take a small amount and massage with light pressure in circular motions for 1 to 2 minutes. Keep away from the eye area.
- Rinse off with lukewarm water and pat dry.
- Use twice a week, preferably in the evening. Follow with serum or moisturiser, and wear sunscreen the next morning.

Who it suits, and who should avoid it
A coarse scrub that suits normal, oily, combination and dull skin best.
Avoid on active or inflamed acne, broken or sunburnt skin, and very sensitive or eczema-prone skin. Avoid if you have a tree-nut allergy (walnut shell). Do not use on the same day as another exfoliant or a retinoid. Not vegan: it contains honey.

Common questions
How often should I use it?
Twice a week. More often can irritate the skin.
Is the scrub gentle or coarse?
Coarse. The grains are walnut shell powder in a cream base, so use light pressure.
Can I use it on acne?
Not on active or inflamed breakouts. Wait until the skin has calmed.
Can I use it on the same day as the Detox Facial Mask?
Better on different days, so the skin is not over-worked.
Is it vegan?
No. It contains honey.
Pairs well with
- Exquisite Facial Cleanser, before the scrub.
- Radiance Serum, after rinsing.
- Detox Facial Mask, on alternate days in the same week.
- Surya Kavach, the next morning.
