Express Exfoliating Mask

Yes, a mild tingling is normal, but it shouldn’t feel uncomfortable.

It’s common to feel some tingling when you first apply Facial In A Jar, as the natural exfoliating acids get to work. If it becomes too uncomfortable, remove the product straight away. For new users or sensitive skin, start slow: leave it on for just one minute, then gradually work up to five minutes over time as your skin adjusts.

Because chemical exfoliation is gentler and suitable for all skin types.

At Skin Juice, we prefer chemical exfoliation as it avoids harsh scrubbing that can irritate skin. Instead, gentle natural acids and enzymes dissolve the glue that holds dead skin cells together, revealing smoother, brighter skin. This method is particularly beneficial for sensitive or reactive skin types that don’t tolerate abrasive beads or fibres.

Not all chemicals are harmful, and chemical exfoliation can be natural.

When we say “chemical,” we don’t mean harsh, toxic chemicals that cause redness or damage. Chemical exfoliation refers to using natural Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs), or fruit enzymes to gently exfoliate without abrasion. These ingredients work by dissolving the bonds between dead skin cells, leaving skin refreshed and radiant without irritation.

Yes, but alternate them, never layer them together.

You might find that more than one formula suits your skin, but they should be used separately, not at the same time. Allow at least 48 hours between each use so your skin can rest and repair. Think of them as treatments you can rotate, depending on your skin’s needs, but not stack in a single routine.

No, but Plumping Pumpkin contain Vit-A-Like, a natural Retinol alternative.

If you’re looking for Vitamin A benefits, try Plumping Pumpkin, which uses Vit-A-Like - a botanical alternative to Retinol. Clinical studies show it helps stimulate cell renewal and boost collagen synthesis, providing results similar to Retinol without the same sensitivity concerns.

Yes, but stick with Brightening Berry during pregnancy.

Brightening Berry is safe to use while pregnant. However, Plumping Pumpkin contains Vit-A-Like (a Retinol alternative), in a concentration we don’t recommend during pregnancy. Always check with your healthcare professional if you’re unsure about introducing new products to your pregnancy skincare routine.

1–2 times per week is ideal for most skin types.

Facial In A Jar is a treatment mask, not an everyday product. Using it once or twice weekly gives your skin enough time to benefit from the exfoliation while still allowing it to rest and repair. Overuse can lead to sensitivity, so start slowly and adjust based on your skin’s tolerance. If you’re new to chemical exfoliation or have sensitive skin, begin with shorter application times and gradually build up.

Midnight Melt is a leave-on overnight treatment, while Facial In A Jar is a rinse-off mask.

Both products exfoliate and deliver nutrients, but they work in different ways:

• Midnight Melt = a 2-in-1 serum + mask designed to be left on overnight. It gently exfoliates while replenishing hydration and supporting barrier repair. Think of it as an easy, effective treatment that works while you rest.
• Facial In A Jar = a 5-minute treatment mask applied to dry skin and rinsed off. Each variant targets specific concerns: Plumping Pumpkin (ageing, uneven tone, congestion) and Brightening Berry (dehydration, irritation, inflammation)

Because Midnight Melt is formulated for slow release, while Facial In A Jar is high-strength.

Facial In A Jar masks contain higher levels of AHAs and a lower pH, designed to act quickly in under five minutes. Midnight Melt also uses AHAs and enzymes, but at a gentler level with a higher pH. This allows it to work gradually overnight, making it safe to leave on your skin while you sleep.

Yes, but not on the same night.

Both can be part of your Skin Juice skincare routine, but we recommend leaving at least 48 hours between exfoliating treatments. Never layer Midnight Melt and Facial In A Jar together - instead, alternate them to give your skin the benefits of both without over-exfoliation.
