St ives fresh skin apricot

Start by matching your skin type to the Fresh Skin Apricot family from St. Ives: use the standard Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub for normal to dry skin, the Deep Exfoliator when you want a deeper clean, or the Exfoliant Apricot variant for Balanced to Oily Skin. All options come from the St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot line and are typically available in 170 g jars. Limit exfoliation to 1 to 3 times per week and follow with a moisturizer.

The apricot kernel particles provide physical exfoliation by gently scrubbing away dull surface cells. This scrub action is milder in the standard Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub and more pronounced in the Deep Exfoliator option. Choose the variant based on how deeply you want to exfoliate and your skin’s sensitivity to avoid irritation.

If you're new to exfoliating, start with the standard Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub and use it 1–2 times weekly. For deeper cleansing or oilier skin, opt for the Deep Exfoliator or the Balanced to Oily Skin variant and adjust frequency with care. Always follow with a moisturizer to maintain skin balance.

Use the scrub on damp skin, then massage gently in circular motions for about 20–60 seconds before rinsing. Avoid the eye area and do not over-exfoliate; limit usage to 1–3 times per week. If you have sensitive skin, reduce frequency or skip, and check ingredients for fragrance or irritants. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat.

The Balanced to Oily Skin Exfoliant is designed for oilier skin, while the standard Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub suits normal to dry skin. For a deeper cleanse, consider the Deep Exfoliator. Pair any choice with a gentle cleanser, a suitable moisturizer, and daily sunscreen to maintain skin balance.
