How often should you use a 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.

Purifying Neem Face Scrub by Himalaya
This neem scrub by Himalaya combines neem with fine apricot kernel particles. Massage it over your damp face and neck, rinse it off, and your skin will feel smooth and fresh. Himalaya has formulated the scrub for normal to oily skin. It comes in a 75 ml tube.
What neem actually is
Neem (Azadirachta indica, listed as Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract on the ingredients list) is a tree that originally grows in India. Its leaves have been an integral part of traditional skincare there for centuries. Himalaya, founded in India in 1930, uses neem in a wide range of products. This neem scrub also contains turmeric extract (Curcuma Longa Rhizome Extract), the yellow root you may also know from the kitchen.
Apricot kernel and cellulose as exfoliating particles
The exfoliating effect comes from two types of particles. Prunus Armeniaca Seed Powder is ground apricot kernel. Microcrystalline cellulose is a fine plant-based fibre. Together, they remove loose skin flakes as you massage the scrub. This is called exfoliation (the removal of the top layer of dead skin cells). The particles are suspended in a creamy base of stearic acid and plant-based oil. This allows the scrub to glide smoothly over your skin, so you do not need to rub hard.
Why the colour may change
It is worth noting that Himalaya states on the packaging that products containing herbs may change colour over time. This is due to the plant extracts. It does not affect the quality of the scrub. The light green shade is partly due to mineral colourants: titanium dioxide (CI 77891), chromium hydroxide green (CI 77289) and yellow iron oxide (CI 77492).
Many people wonder whether a neem scrub and a neem mask do the same thing. They do not: the scrub uses exfoliating particles, while the mask uses clay. Himalaya includes both in the same Purifying Neem range, so you can use them together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you use a scrub on sensitive skin?
Proceed with caution. This scrub is made for normal to oily skin. If you have sensitive skin, use it less frequently and massage without applying pressure. Stop if your skin becomes irritated.
Do you use a scrub before or after a mask?
Usually the scrub first. It removes loose skin flakes, after which you apply the mask to clean skin. Wet your face, gently massage in the scrub, rinse it off, and then continue with your mask.
Why is my tube a different color than the previous one?
Products containing herbal extracts may change color slightly over time. Himalaya also states this on the packaging. The quality remains the same.
What is neem?
Neem (Azadirachta indica) is a tree from India. Its leaves have long been used in skincare there. This scrub contains extract from those leaves, listed on the INCI as Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract.
What is the difference between the neem scrub and the apricot scrub from Himalaya?
Both contain ground apricot kernels. The neem scrub also contains neem and turmeric extracts and is intended for normal to oily skin. The Gentle Exfoliating Apricot Scrub contains walnut shell and wheat germ oil and is suitable for all skin types.
