Our Guide to Using Vitamin C Cleansing Grains
1 - 3 x PER WEEK - ☀️ AM or 🌜PM
Pour 1-2 tsp’s of cleansing grains into the palm of your hand. Activate by mixing with a few drops of water and gently swirl with fingers until powder forms a creamy paste. Less water will yield a stronger exfoliation, more water will deliver a gentler cleanse.
Gently massage into moist skin in circular motions, avoiding eye area. Paying extra attention to areas with hyper-pigmentation. Let sit for 5 minutes while the grains do their magic. Rinse.
PRO TIP: Add a few drops of face oil into the mix for a glow-inducing boost of moisture and nutrients.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are cleansing grains?
Cleansing grains are a type of natural, powdered facial cleanser that can be mixed with water or other liquid to create a gentle exfoliating paste.
They are typically made from finely ground natural ingredients like oats, rice bran, clay, nuts, and botanicals, which help to cleanse, exfoliate, and nourish the skin without the need for harsh chemicals.
How does this cleanse my skin if there's no soap in it?
Cleansing grains clean the skin through physical exfoliation and absorption rather than relying on soap or surfactants. The natural particles in cleansing grains, gently buff the skin's surface, removing dead skin cells, dirt, and other impurities.
We’ve come to associate lather and suds with cleanliness, but soap can sometimes be the reason for clogged pores. Over-cleansing removes the skin’s natural oils, prompting it to produce even more oil to compensate. The goal is to find a balance in oil production, leading to skin that is clean, clear, and well-nourished without being over-stripped.
Will the grains scratch my face?
Our cleansing grains are finely milled and double sifted through a fine mesh strainer to ensure they are soft and fine and will not create micro-tears in your skin.
However, coarser or more abrasive grains, like walnut or apricot shells, can potentially irritate or create micro-tears on sensitive skin if applied too vigorously. Choosing products with finely milled grains and using gentle circular motions will minimize any risk.
If you have particularly sensitive skin, a patch test or consulting with a dermatologist might also help determine the best approach.
What skin types can use cleansing grains?
Cleansing grains can generally be used by most skin types because they’re formulated with gentle, natural ingredients. However, it’s essential to consider specific skin needs and sensitivities:
- Normal Skin: Those with normal skin can typically use cleansing grains a few times a week without issues, as the gentle exfoliation helps maintain a balanced, refreshed complexion.
- Oily and Acne-Prone Skin: Cleansing grains can benefit oily or acne-prone skin, as they help to unclog pores and gently remove excess oil without stripping the skin.
- Dry Skin: People with dry skin can still benefit from cleansing grains, but it’s essential to choose formulas that contain hydrating ingredients like oats, honey powder, or milk powder. Using the grains 1–2 times a week can help avoid excessive exfoliation that might lead to dryness.
- Sensitive Skin: Sensitive skin types can use cleansing grains. We recommended mixing the grains with a gentle, hydrating base, like aloe vera or honey, to create a less abrasive paste which can reduce the risk of irritation .
- Combination Skin: Those with combination skin can adjust their use of cleansing grains based on specific areas, such as applying more on oil-prone areas like the T-zone and less on dry areas.
For any skin type, it's best to use gentle, circular motions and limit use to 1–3 times per week, depending on how the skin reacts.
