Walnuts have many nutritional benefits, so some companies have ground walnut shells into exfoliators. Although they’re healthy for the body, they aren’t healthy for the skin. Many dermatologists caution people to stay away.

Dermatologist Janelle Vega told Well+Good that walnut scrubs damage the skin. The pieces are too rough and cause microscopic abrasions. In other words, it’s far too harsh for the sensitive skin on your face. There are plenty of other scrubs to spend your money on.
