Frequently asked questions

No need to wonder! Here are a few FAQ with answers that just may be helpful as you embark on your Mēlee Skin Polish journey. 

What's inside? ~ the Ingredients

Savory. Simple. Smooth.
​We've come to learn & know that health & beauty products that are simple, whole, & natural are just simply better.
With this in mind, Mēlee Skin Polish products have two uncomplicated (&
pronounceable) base ingredients, organic extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) & organic cane sugar, light brown sugar or pure pink Himalayan salt. The only added ingredients in the varieties of scrubs (mainly for aroma, therapeutic, or enhancement purposes) include compliments of 100% pure essential oils, pure flavor extracts, Vitamin E, and/or dried herbs or spices. Most Mēlee Skin Polish varieties have between five to seven total ingredients. Please view our Menu for skin polish varieties & specific ingredients.

WHY POLISH MY SKIN?

Skin polishing has many benefits. Here are just a few...
  • Exfoliation: removing dead skin & smoothing your skin
  • Moisturizing: nourishing your skin 
  • Renewal: refresh & fragrance your skin
​
The current salt & sugar scrubs offered through the Mēlee Skin Polish brand are not to replace your body cleansing regimen, rather compliment your hygiene routine. Added benefits to applying our skin polish may include cooling, soothing, nourishing, & reviving your body's external protector, your precious skin.

You know your skin! So, for some individuals skin polishing may be once per week, where for another 2-3 times per week may be great. We do not suggest daily use of our polish. Please use your wisdom to decide frequency & skin areas of use.

WHY THE GLASS JAR?

It's simply nicer (to me)! And because that's just my opinion, we will soon offer a plastic container order option. However, for now, once you receive your skin polish from us in the glass jar, you may always transfer the scrub into a clean, dry & sealable container of your preference. Please be advised as well as mindful as to where to place your skin polish glass jar, especially in frequently wet spaces like your tub, sink, & shower. 

IS THIS PRODUCT FOR EVERYONE?

While we believe Mēlee Skin Polish is an offering for anyone, we understand it is not for everyone. If you are pregnant, nursing, have highly sensitive skin, skin irritations, skin allergies, or any other skin/health-related concerns, please consult & be advised by your physician prior to purchasing and using our product. Your health is of greatest importance to us!


HOW do i use this? ~ PROPER APPLICATION

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
1) After cleansing & leaving areas to be applied damp with water, place polish (an amount to your liking) into your palm. With both hands gently rub palms together to break up the polish.

2) Then, begin applying to damp hands, feet and/or body with gentle circular motion (on exterior/exposed skin areas only and avoid sensitive skin areas) until most of the polish granules have dissolved.

3) Rinse away scrub thoroughly with cool or warm water. Damp-dry your skin to experience the moisture & smoothness all day.
* Only apply added moisture (i.e., lotion) to skin (in very dry areas) as needed.

4) ENJOY! Feel your skin, it should be smiling!

NOTE: Use with care as this is an oil based product. Take any necessary precautions by keeping in mind the slippery effect oil can produce on hard surfaces (i.e. tub & shower bases/floors).

What is next? ~ ON THE HORIZON

While i tend to experience life more so in the moment and one day at a time, i do understand the importance & place for thinking ahead & planning. With this said, we are consistently giving thought to expanding our menu and skin polish variety as well as the Mēlee brand as a whole. Abide with us on this journey by staying connected. We anticipate more Mēlee products coming your way!

Is there an Expiration Date?

Please consume within 90 days (3 months) of receiving your Mēlee Skin Polish. We do not approve or suggest for you to use our product beyond the expiry date of 90 days. (We hope you enjoy it so much that 90 days is more than enough time for you to have an empty jar!)

SUGAR OR SALT? HELP ME CHOOSE, PLEASE!

Sugar has very little health benefits & medicinal purposes. While it is normally a more gentle exfoliant than salt. Sugar scrub removes dead skin cells in a less abrasive way & is suitable for more sensitive skin types. Salt on the other hand has anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties, making it a great healing agent in the treatment of skin. Salt scrub can often be a bit more coarse on sensitive skin types. However, the pink Himalayan salt used in Mēlee products is a finer granule. One challenge with the salt is similar to when swimming in the ocean or even gargling with salt water, if there are any open skin abrasions it will more than likely give a little sting for a moment until fully rinsed off. Choosing sugar versus salt for your Mēlee Skin Polish is mainly an option of preference and if you must take any personal health concerns into consideration.
