Herbalist-Level Dosage & Usage Instructions

Product Type:
Topical Exfoliating Soap Bar (for external use only)

Recommended Dosage & Frequency

• Face: Use once daily for sensitive or dry skin; twice daily for oily or acne-prone skin.
• Body: Use daily during your shower or bath, especially on areas prone to breakouts or dullness (e.g., back, shoulders, elbows).
• Exfoliation Level: Gentle enough for daily use due to finely milled green tea leaves and coconut oil base.

 Best Time of Day to Use

• Morning: Refreshes skin, removes overnight oil buildup, and primes skin for moisturizers or sunscreen.
• Evening: Deeply cleanses skin after exposure to pollution, sweat, and makeup.

Foods to Support Healthy Skin While Using

• Increase intake of hydrating fruits (cucumber, watermelon) and antioxidant-rich greens (spinach, kale, matcha).
• Limit processed sugar and fried foods, which can worsen breakouts and skin inflammation.
• Include omega-3s (chia seeds, flax oil, fish oil) to reduce inflammation from within.

 Hydration Tips

• After cleansing, pat skin dry and apply a moisturizer or light facial oil to retain hydration.
• Drink at least 8–10 cups of water per day to support internal detox and skin clarity.
• Consider using a hydrating facial mist or toner between washes, especially in dry climates.

Cyclic vs. Daily Use

• Normal to oily skin: Safe for daily use.
• Dry or sensitive skin: Use 3–4x per week, alternating with a non-exfoliating, cream-based cleanser.
• Periodic break from exfoliation (1–2 days per week) helps skin naturally balance oils and reduce sensitivity.

 What to Expect During Use

• Week 1–2: Skin may feel smoother and appear brighter. Some users may experience a slight purge (temporary breakouts).
• Week 3+: Expect a clearer complexion, reduction in acne or rough texture, and more even skin tone.
• Slight tingling is normal due to tea tree oil—this indicates the actives are working.

 Warnings & Precautions

• Do not use on broken, irritated, or sunburned skin.
• Avoid contact with eyes; rinse immediately if contact occurs.
• Always patch-test new products 24 hours before use, especially if prone to allergies or eczema.
• Consult a dermatologist before use if you’re pregnant, nursing, or using prescription skincare (e.g., retinoids, benzoyl peroxide).
• Keep away from children under 5 years.

Ingredient-by-Ingredient Breakdown

 Key Active Ingredients

  A powerful antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals, reduce inflammation, and protect skin from environmental damage. It promotes a more even tone and radiant complexion.
• Tea Tree Oil:
  A natural antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory essential oil that helps cleanse pores, control oil, and reduce acne and blemishes. Especially effective for oily and acne-prone skin.

Allantoin calms and heals the skin, supporting long-term skin clarity and softness.
