How often should you use an apricot scrub?
Himalaya recommends using it 2 to 3 times a week. Your skin needs time to recover between scrubs. On the other days, use your regular cleanser.

Gentle Exfoliating Apricot Scrub by Himalaya
A classic in many bathrooms: this apricot scrub by Himalaya. You massage it over your damp face and neck, and the fine apricot kernel particles remove loose skin flakes. After rinsing, your skin feels soft and smooth. Himalaya makes the scrub for all skin types, and it comes in a 75 ml tube.
Two types of particles in one scrub
What many people don't know: this apricot scrub contains two natural exfoliating particles. Prunus Armeniaca Seed Powder is ground apricot kernel. Juglans Regia Shell Powder is ground walnut shell. Together, they provide the scrubbing effect, also known as exfoliation (the removal of the top layer of dead skin cells). The particles are in a creamy base of stearic acid and a plant-based oil. This allows them to glide smoothly over your skin, so you don't need to rub hard.
Wheat germ oil and apple extract
In addition to the particles, you'll find Triticum Vulgare Germ Oil on the list, or wheat germ oil. This oil naturally contains vitamin E. Himalaya uses it to care for your skin while scrubbing, so that it feels supple afterwards. It also contains apple extract (Pyrus Malus Fruit Extract) and tocoferyl acetate. The latter is a stable form of vitamin E that you'll find in many cosmetics. A fresh fragrance completes the whole.
What a scrub adds to regular washing
Many people wonder what a scrub actually adds to your regular cleansing. The difference lies in the particles. A regular cleanser removes dirt and sebum from your skin, but loose skin flakes often remain. A scrub does remove those flakes. As a result, your skin feels smoother and softer after rinsing. In practice, this means: you don't use an apricot scrub daily, but a few times a week alongside your regular cleanser.
Himalaya has been working with plant-based ingredients since 1930, and this scrub with apricot and wheat germ fits perfectly into that line. A simple formula, two natural particles, and a fresh scent.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is an apricot scrub too harsh for your face?
Not if you massage it in gently. The granules are in a creamy base, so you only need to use your fingertips and apply no pressure. If your skin feels tight or red after scrubbing, use it less often or stop.
Can you also use this scrub on your body?
The directions for use only mention the face and neck. For your body, it is better to choose a special body scrub, which usually comes in a larger package.
Does this scrub contain nuts?
Yes, it contains ground walnut shell (Juglans Regia Shell Powder). It also contains wheat germ oil. If you are sensitive to any of these ingredients, please check the full list of ingredients first.
What does wheat germ oil do in a scrub?
Wheat germ oil is a plant-based oil that naturally contains vitamin E. In this scrub, it nourishes your skin, leaving it feeling soft and supple after exfoliating. It is used for the cosmetic care of the upper layer of the skin.
What is the difference between a scrub and a peel?
A scrub uses granules, which remove loose skin flakes when massaged. A chemical peel uses acids, such as AHA or BHA, to loosen skin cells. This Himalayan scrub uses granules rather than exfoliating acids.
