I’m very pleased with my husk and seed purchase. I enjoy using the facial exfoliating product and the mask. My skin looks terrific afterwards
Gently Resurfacing Facial Exfoliant
"Leaves my skin feeling lovely and smooth but is gentle and not too abrasive." —Christina S.
Gently PolishesReveals Fresh SkinSmoother TextureNever Harsh
Meet your gentle glow-giver. This soft, creamy exfoliant polishes away dullness to reveal fresher, smoother-looking skin, without the harsh feel of a scrub.
Finely milled natural powders gently lift away dullness, while nourishing butters and vitamin E cushion and condition, so newly revealed skin looks brighter and more refined.
Gentle enough for regular use and never harsh or scratchy. Perfect for dull, uneven or rough-textured skin. Suitable for most skin types.
Unwind your mind. Slow circles, the warmth of frankincense and sweet orange, and nowhere else you need to be.
Use once or twice a week as part of your self-care ritual. Apply a small amount to damp skin and gently massage in circular motions, allowing the fine powders to polish and refine.
Mix with water for a light exfoliation or with the Cleansing Balm for a deeper treatment. Rinse thoroughly to reveal skin that feels smooth, refreshed and radiant.
Do not get water into the jar.

Why is exfoliating important?
Exfoliating helps to remove dead skin cells that can make your complexion look dull and uneven. It also helps your other skincare products absorb more effectively, leaving your skin smooth, bright and healthy. Regular gentle exfoliation supports natural cell renewal and brings back your skin’s natural radiance without compromising its delicate balance.
Why choose the Gently Resurfacing Facial Exfoliant?
Our Gently Resurfacing Facial Exfoliant has been created for those who want smoother, brighter skin without the use of harsh scrubs or exfoliating acids. It combines blackcurrant, hibiscus and marshmallow root powders to delicately buff and brighten the skin, and avocado seed oil to soften and nourish. The soft texture transforms into a creamy polish when massaged onto damp skin, revealing a smooth, refreshed complexion with a natural glow.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. This exfoliant is ideal for even the most sensitive or reactive complexions. It’s free from microbeads, strong acids and rough abrasives that can damage the skin barrier. Instead, it relies on finely milled natural powders and soothing plant oils to smooth and brighten without irritation.
Why is it different to other exfoliators?
Most exfoliators rely on either strong chemical acids or gritty particles that can strip and inflame the skin. Our Gently Resurfacing Facial Exfoliant takes a more thoughtful approach. It uses high-quality, cold-pressed plant oils and natural exfoliating powders to polish the skin gently, without disrupting its natural moisture balance.
Every ingredient has been chosen to nourish as it exfoliates — from the antioxidant-rich blackcurrant seed powder to the softening avocado seed oil. We never use cheaper fillers or harsh exfoliating agents that can cause micro-tears or irritation. The result is smooth, radiant, healthy-looking skin that feels calm, never tight.
Can I achieve a deep exfoliation?
You can easily customise your exfoliation. For a softer polish, mix the exfoliant with water or, for a more intensive treatment, blend it with our Gently Nourishing Cleansing Balm. The combination gently melts away impurities while refining texture, leaving skin deeply clean, smooth and radiant.

Lovely exfoliant...really leaves my skin so soft. I use this once a week which feels enough for my skin. Ordered the full size after trying the one in my discovery set. Well worth purchasing a Discovery Set, it's a great way to try Husk & Seed products at a reasonable price 😊

I recently purchased the Gently Resurfacing Facial Exfoliant and I’m honestly so impressed. My skin feels incredibly smooth, fresh, and thoroughly cleansed after each use without feeling harsh or stripped. I’m slowly building up my Husk & Seed collection, and I can safely say I’m completely hooked on this skincare range. Such a lovely experience every time I use it! ❤️

Jennifer 5/5 Verified
I use the cleansing and moisturising balms and absolutely love them so I recently purchased the gentle exfoliating facial scrub. I feel my skin is in good condition, all thanks to Husk and Seed so adding their exfoliating facial treatment into my skin care routine has been an added bonus. My skin feels and looks fresh. I trust these products as they are obviously made and packaged with so much love and care. No nasties in there, just pure, natural ingredients. Love Husk and Seed. Thank you Kelly and Wendy xx
