How to Use Your Dr. Barbara Sturm Facial Scrub For Maximum Results
- Cleanse: Begin with a fresh, cleansed face (try Skinceuticals Simply Clean for extra purity).
- Apply Scrub: Take a small amount of the facial exfoliator; gently massage onto damp skin, using soft circular motions.

- Rinse: Wash away thoroughly with lukewarm water.
- Lock in Glow: Follow with a hydrating serum or moisturiser (Huxley Grab Water Essence is a great match).
