It’s such an incredible natural product that it has been used as an exfoliating product since people started wanting to slough off skin cells and grime, realising it was the trick to radiant and smooth skin. Over time, skincare manufacturers got wind of this and would include it within scrubs and clays, as many still do.
Although described as a powder, apricot kernel powder provides the grit-texture you are familiar with in all the best scrubs and exfoliating skincare. Combined with other ingredients, it makes for a delicately mild and natural exfoliating scrub that is suitable even for those with sensitive skin.
Exfoliation helps to unclog pores and removes dead skin and impurities from the surface of the skin. Without exfoliation, your complexion can look dull. With exfoliation, it will feel silky smooth and also appear more youthful and vibrant.
