๐Ÿ”ฌ How It Actually Works

Crushed walnut shells used as a cheap physical exfoliating abrasive. Because the shells shatter into jagged, microscopic shards, aggressively scrubbing the face with them causes severe micro-tears in the stratum corneum, permanently damaging the barrier.

Physically scrapes dead skin off the surface.

๐Ÿ’ก Pro Tip

Throw it away immediately. Switch to a gentle chemical exfoliant (like Lactic Acid) or a perfectly smooth physical scrub (like Jojoba beads).
