Whimsical Walnut Face Scrub
Effective daily cleansing and consistent sunscreen application are vital for maintaining healthy skin, but perhaps the unsung hero of any skincare regimen is exfoliation. While your skin does naturally shed dead cells, it may not always be able to remove all of them. Letting those dead cells sit and accumulate can result in a long list of complexion concerns—dullness, clogged pores, more noticeable fine lines, flaky patches, and hyperpigmentation, to name a few.
Exfoliating can help speed up the cell turnover process to address these issues. Use of exfoliants ideally creates a smoother, brighter complexion and allows skincare product and makeup application to be more effective and even. If you're ready to make your skin look and feel like new, try our new physical exfoliator; Whimsical Walnut.
Walnut Shell
"Walnut shell is a natural exfoliant. The shells are finely ground for use as a gentle physical exfoliator. The shape - how polished and round -is the most important factor that distinguishes our walnut shell powder to smoothly and effectively resurface the outermost skin layer. The consistently rounded and even granules we use remove concern about harmful barrier disruption as there are no sharp, uneven and un-polished granules that could potentially cause damage to the skin. It helps to gently slough off dead skin cells, even out skin tone and leaves skin brighter and looking radiant."
Rice Bran Oil
"Rice Bran Oil is known for its ability to cleanse, soften, moisturize, soothe, nourish, and smooth the skin. It slows the look of aging and brightens the complexion. Full of antioxidants, vitamins B and E, and wonderful natural emollients, this ingredient not only hydrates skin, but also protects it. When used topically, it improves circulation, evens out skin tone, and minimizes the appearance of dark circles and puffiness around the eye area. It increases skin’s natural regeneration, encourages moisture retention, and soothes irritation."
Hemp Seed Oil
"Hemp seed oil is rich in omega acids 3, 6, and 9, which are known to strengthen the skin barrier and create a protective seal that locks in moisture. It also acts as a humectant, attracting moisture to the skin. This oil contains compounds that can alleviate oxidative stress, a common cause of skin damage and signs of aging such as wrinkles and fine lines. Furthermore, hemp seed oil can help combat aging by promoting skin brightness, reducing dullness, and increasing collagen production. Additionally, it regulates sebum production and possesses anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, keeping the skin healthy and blemish-free."

- Good to know: You’ll want to wash your face with a cleanser first to remove any dirt or debris since exfoliating isn’t meant to cleanse the skin—it merely removes buildup on the skin’s surface. For best results, apply scrub to slightly damp skin.
- Your Ritual: Using your fingertips, apply the scrub to your face (on damp skin), starting at your chin and working your way upward and outward. Gently massage the scrub onto your face in circular motions for about 30 seconds to one minute. Make sure you scrub your T-zone (chin, nose, and forehead), which is generally the oiliest part of the face. You’ll also want to focus on any problem areas, but take care to avoid the eye area—you do not want abrasives in or near your eyes. When you’re done, rinse it off with lukewarm (not hot) water.
