The Wake

Before water. Circulation first.

Start dry, before the water. Long strokes from the feet toward the heart, small circles at the knees and elbows. You feel it about thirty seconds in, when the skin wakes up ahead of you.

Then into the water. The sisal mitt takes the day off your shoulders and back — stiff when it is dry, soft the moment it is wet. The scrubbing pad finishes gently: chest, neck, anywhere the mitt is too much.

Three tools, one direction of travel. From the edges of you, inward.

The brush handle is cut from natural stone and weighted. It is the piece that stays out on the shelf, so we made it worth looking at.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Should I moisturize right after the shower?
Yes, apply body lotion or oil within 2–3 minutes of stepping out, while skin is still slightly damp. This traps moisture that would otherwise evaporate, giving you significantly better hydration than applying on dry skin.
2. Is Vigorous / Firm, too much for everyday?
For most people, two or three times a week is the right frequency at this texture.
3. What should I do if my skin reacts?
Stop using it. Our tools are for external use only, and we advise discontinuing use if irritation occurs. Redness that fades within a few minutes is normal friction; anything that lasts, stings or itches is not.
4. How often should I exfoliate?
Two or three times a week suits most people for the body, and once or twice for the face. Daily use is possible with our Mild tools if your skin tolerates it well. More is not better — exfoliation works by removing what has already loosened, and there is a limit to how much of that accumulates.
5. What's the ideal shower temperature for skin?
Lukewarm around 37–38°C (98–100°F). Hot water strips the skin's natural lipid barrier, leading to dryness, redness, and irritation over time. A cool final rinse closes pores and leaves skin looking tighter and more radiant.
6. Can I exfoliate if I have sensitive or acne-prone skin?
Yes, but gently and less frequently. Choose tools with softer bristles or finer textures, avoid active breakouts entirely, and limit exfoliation to once a week. Over-exfoliating inflamed skin worsens acne and sensitivity.
7. Is this good before self-tan?
Yes. Exfoliating a day before applying self-tan gives a more even result and helps it fade more evenly too. Moisturise the drier areas ( knees, elbows, ankles ) before you apply.
8. Are your products vegan?
Most are. The Exfoliating Sisal Mitt is explicitly vegan, and the plant-fibre and textile tools contain no animal materials. The exception is the Radiance Gem Glow Dry Brush, which uses natural boar hair. See that product's page for the detail.
9. How do I stop a shower tool going musty?
Almost always it is drying, not washing. Rinse until the water runs clear, squeeze rather than twist, and hang it somewhere with moving air — a tool left flat on a shelf or in a closed shower corner stays damp and will start to smell within days.
