PRODUCT QUESTIONS
Which Crumb Coat should I choose?
If you are not sure where to start, choose based on how your skin feels right now.
- Choose Chocolate if your skin feels dull, congested, or in need of renewal, or if you want a richer, more indulgent masking experience.
- Choose Matcha if your skin feels oily, unbalanced, or congested and you prefer a fresh, clarifying ritual.
- Choose Marshmallow if your skin feels dry, sensitive, or easily overwhelmed and you want a gentle, comforting option.
All three variants are designed to support healthy-looking skin and can be rotated throughout the week.
Can I use more than one Crumb Coat?
Yes. Many customers choose more than one variant and use them based on how their skin feels on a given day or season.
For example, you may prefer Marshmallow during colder months, Matcha when your skin feels congested, and Chocolate when you want a more indulgent reset.
Is one variant better for melanin-rich skin?
All Crumb Coat variants are formulated with melanin-rich skin in mind and focus on balance, comfort, and gentle care rather than harsh exfoliation.
The best choice comes down to your skin’s current needs and the type of ritual experience you enjoy.
How often should I use Crumb Coat?
Crumb Coat can be used one to three times per week, depending on your skin’s needs.
Use it as a cleansing grain for lighter exfoliation or as a mask when you want a more intentional treatment step in your routine.
