Origins Checks and Balances Polishing Face Scrub 75ml

Origins Checks and Balances Polishing Face Scrub is a gentle cream scrub designed to refine the skin’s texture while keeping it feeling comfortable. The formula uses naturally derived Bamboo and Mineral Silica to sweep away dull surface cells and impurities, helping to reduce the look of pores and reveal smoother, softer skin. Mint essential oil brings a fresh, cooling sensation, while tourmaline and botanical extracts support a complexion that looks clearer and more even. The texture feels cushioning on the skin, making exfoliation feel like a pampering step rather than a chore.

Ideal for all skin types, including combination, normal and dry skin, this scrub fits easily into a weekly skincare routine whenever skin looks lacklustre or feels congested. Use after your usual cleanser to give skin a more polished finish and to help subsequent serums and moisturisers absorb more effectively. With regular use, the complexion may appear more refined and balanced, and skin is left feeling clean, supple and ready for the rest of your routine.

How to use
How to Use:
After cleansing, wet the face with lukewarm water. Massage a small amount of the scrub into damp skin using gentle circular motions, avoiding the eye area. Rinse thoroughly with water and pat the skin dry.

Frequency:
Use up to 4 times a week, or as directed on the product packaging.

Application Technique:
Apply to clean, damp skin, working from the centre of the face outwards. Use light pressure and even movements so the polishing particles can work effectively without over-scrubbing. Rinse until no residue remains, then follow with toner, serum and moisturiser.

Best Practices:
Introduce gradually if skin is new to exfoliation. Avoid using on broken or irritated skin and do not combine with other strong exfoliants in the same routine. In the daytime, follow with a broad-spectrum SPF after moisturiser.

Safety Tips:
For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes; if this occurs, rinse well with water. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and keep out of reach of children. Always follow any additional instructions on the packaging.
