The Original Filipino Alpha-Arbutin Exfoliating Scrub Shower Bath is typically used in the shower, similar to a standard shower gel, but with an emphasis on the exfoliating action.
Usage Instructions
- After Cleansing:Â For best results, use the product after you have initially cleansed your skin with a regular body wash to remove dirt and oils.
- Apply to Damp Skin:Â Pour an adequate amount into your palm, on a loofah, or a washcloth, and apply it to damp or wet skin.
- Massage:Â Gently massage the product into your skin using circular motions. Focus on rough or darker areas such as elbows, knees, armpits, and heels.
- Leave On (Optional):Â Some similar alpha-arbutin scrub products suggest leaving it on the skin for 3-5 minutes to allow the active ingredients (like AHAs and BHAs) to work more effectively.
- Rinse and Moisturize:Â Rinse thoroughly with water. Afterward, pat your skin dry and immediately apply a moisturizing body lotion to lock in hydration and enhance the product’s effectiveness.
- Frequency:Â As an exfoliating scrub, it is generally recommended for use 1 to 3 times per week, rather than daily.Â
Important Considerations
- Sun Protection:Â Products containing alpha-arbutin and other lightening agents can increase sun sensitivity. The product has SPF 30, but ensure you use additional sun protection during the day.
- Skin Sensitivity:Â Conduct a skin test first. If irritation occurs, stop using the product and consult a doctor. Avoid use on broken or freshly shaved skin.
- Avoid Mixing:Â Avoid combining it with other strong skin-lightening products containing ingredients like hydroquinone, as this can be too intense for the skin.
