The Right Way to Prep, Scrub, and Rinse for Radiant Skin

There’s something deeply satisfying about giving your skin a fresh start—and nothing does that quite like our Coffee Facial Scrub. But a great scrub is only half the story. The way you use it matters just as much as what’s in the jar. From prepping your skin to using the right motion (spoiler: it’s not up and down), this guide walks you through the perfect exfoliation ritual. Plus, we’ll share how to make the most of your glow with our Calm & Clear Toner and Plush Recovery Serum. Ready to turn your bathroom into a spa? Let’s get glowing.

Step 1: Start with a Clean Slate

Before you apply the scrub, wash your face with a gentle cleanser to remove makeup, dirt, and oils. This helps the scrub get right to the skin and do its job. Use lukewarm water—not hot, which can strip your skin or irritate sensitive areas.

💡 Pro Tip: You can also use a warm, damp towel and press it gently against your skin for 30 seconds to help open your pores.


Step 2: Apply the Scrub the Right Way

Scoop a small amount of our Coffee Facial Scrub onto your fingertips and dot it across your face—cheeks, forehead, chin, and nose. Then gently start massaging it in.

What’s the best motion?
✅ Use small, upward circular motions.
These motions polish the skin evenly while working against gravity, helping to lift rather than pull your skin.

❌ Avoid rough back-and-forth motions, which can lead to irritation—even with our finely ground coffee formula.

Take your time and focus on areas prone to dullness or clogged pores, like the nose and chin.


Step 3: The Perfect Rinse

After 30–60 seconds of gentle scrubbing, it’s time to rinse.

Cloth or hands?
Use a soft, damp microfiber cloth or your clean hands. Avoid rough washcloths that can aggravate the skin.

How to remove:
Gently wipe the scrub off using the same upward circular motion you applied it with. Avoid dragging the skin downward.

Water temperature:
✔️ Rinse with lukewarm water
✔️ Finish with a splash of cool water to help tighten pores and refresh your skin


Step 4: Balance and Soothe with Toner

Now that your skin is clean and freshly exfoliated, follow with our Calm & Clear Facial Toner.

This powerhouse toner features:

  • Apple cider vinegar
  • Rose water
  • Witch hazel
  • Aloe liquid
  • Lavender, lemongrass, and tea tree oils
  • Rosehip and bakuchiol oils

Together, they help:

  • Soothe inflammation and redness
  • Restore your skin’s pH balance
  • Calm breakouts
  • Gently hydrate
  • Prime your skin for serum or moisturizer

Step 5: Nourish with Plush Recovery Serum

After toner, your skin is perfectly primed to soak in the benefits of our luxurious Plush Recovery Serum.

This serum is packed with botanical oils and active ingredients that:

  • Lock in moisture
  • Soothe and repair post-exfoliation skin
  • Smooth fine lines and improve elasticity
  • Leave your skin soft, supple, and glowing

Use just a pea-sized amount, rub on tips of fingers to warm up and gently pat it into your face and neck. Let it absorb before applying moisturizer.


Step 6: Seal it In with Moisturizer

Complete your facial ritual with your favorite rich, hydrating moisturizer. This seals in all the goodness and keeps your skin nourished and dewy.


How Often Should You Use the Coffee Facial Scrub?

Use your Coffee Facial Scrub 2 to 3 times per week, depending on your skin type.

Exfoliating regularly—but not daily—is essential for keeping your skin healthy and radiant. Here’s why:

  • It clears away dead skin cells that dull your complexion
  • It prevents clogged pores and breakouts
  • It stimulates cell turnover for brighter skin
  • It improves absorption of other skincare products
  • It smooths skin texture and refines your look

⚠️ Over-exfoliating can cause irritation, while under-exfoliating allows buildup. A consistent 2–3 times a week routine keeps your skin balanced and beautiful.


Final Thought

When done right, exfoliating becomes more than a step—it’s a ritual of renewal. Paired with our Calm & Clear Toner and Plush Recovery Serum, your Coffee Facial Scrub delivers a spa-like glow at home.
