SSFAQ's: Can I use my body scrub on my face?

We get this question all the time. The short answer is: you can. But as with many things in life, just because you can doesn't mean that you should! As a matter of fact, we do not recommend that you use our body products on your face and, belive it or not,  it's not just because we want to sell you more stuff :) 

There are actually several really good reasons.

For one, our primary mission is to serve those with sensitive skin. Our facial scrubs are formulated to be gentler and provide a less aggressive exfoliation than the body scrubs. This is why it's safe for people with very sensitive skin to use our facial products up to twice a day. 

Secondly, the ingredients are different. The ingredients in the facials are chosen because they have a potential benefit that particularly suits a certain skin type. For example, avocados contain sterolins, that are good-for-you fats that make this facial super emollient and excellent for those with very dry skin.

The facials also contain a different blend of oils that have better benefits for your face. For example, the facials contain jojoba oil and a higher concentration of grapeseed oil because these oils have particular properties that have benefits specifically for the skin on your face like providing anti-inflammatory benefits and having high antioxidant content that fights the free radical damage that results in the breakdown of collagen which translates to visible signs of aging.

So in a nutshell, we formulate our facials to be gentle enough for people with sensitive skin to use on their sensitive faces twice a day, everyday.
