Learn how to combine a natural face scrub with a jute face brush for gentle exfoliation. Follow these facial exfoliation steps for a smooth, glowing complexion.
Quick answer
Use the jute face brush on dry skin twice weekly before cleansing, then follow with a small amount of natural face scrub once or twice a week in the shower. Keep both steps gentle and stop if your skin feels tight or irritated.
Why combine a jute brush with a scrub?
A jute face brush and a scrub work on different levels: the soft jute bristles stimulate circulation and lift surface flakes, while a scrub uses particles to buff away dead cells. Used together, they can leave skin smoother than either alone, but only if you avoid overdoing it. The brush is a good option for sensitive areas like the face and décolletage because jute is a soft vegetable fibre, and it can replace scrubs that may dry out your skin.
When to skip the scrub or the brush
If your skin is reactive, sunburned, or has active breakouts, skip both exfoliation methods until it calms down. Also avoid using the brush and scrub on the same day if you have dry or dehydrated skin—choose one method per session to prevent irritation. The citrus blend scrub is most suitable for dry skin types, so if your skin is oily, you may prefer to use the brush alone or a different scrub.
Step-by-step routine
- Start with a clean, dry face: Use the jute face brush on dry skin before cleansing. Hold the brush flat and use light, upward strokes from the center of your face outward. Avoid pressing hard. Common mistake: brushing damp skin—this can tug and irritate. Always brush dry.
- Brush for 30–60 seconds: Work in gentle circular motions over your cheeks, forehead, and chin, then move down to your neck and décolletage. Stop after a minute; more time does not mean better results. Checkpoint: if skin turns red or feels warm, you are brushing too vigorously.
- Cleanse as usual: Follow with your regular cleanser and lukewarm water to remove loosened flakes and any debris from the brush. Mistake to avoid: using hot water, which can strip oils and leave skin tight.
- Apply the scrub once or twice a week: On a separate day from brushing, or later the same day if your skin is not sensitive, massage a small amount of Natural Face Scrub – Citrus Blend onto damp skin. Rinse thoroughly. Checkpoint: limit total exfoliation (brush + scrub) to two or three sessions per week.
- Moisturize and rest: Pat skin dry and apply a gentle moisturizer. Give your skin a full day off from exfoliation between sessions. Common mistake: skipping moisturizer after exfoliation, which can leave skin dehydrated.
- Clean your brush weekly: Wash the jute brush with mild soap and warm water, then let it air-dry completely before the next use. Checkpoint: replace the brush if bristles become stiff or misshapen.
