Quick answer

To get the most from The Awake Morning Kit, use the Morning Soap Brick first in the shower to exfoliate, then follow with the Morning Body Wash to cleanse and seal in moisture. Keep the sequence consistent, use lukewarm water, and let the steam carry the essential oils. If you prefer a smaller set, The Awake Kit includes the same two-step system.

Why the order matters more than the products

The Awake Morning Kit is designed as a system, not a collection of standalone items. The Morning Soap Brick uses physical exfoliants—Big Sur Sea Salt, French Blue Clay, and organic Poppy Seeds—to polish away dead skin and draw out impurities. Once those are removed, the Morning Body Wash can do its job: six nourishing oils seal in moisture on freshly exposed skin, while six fragrant essential oils rise with the steam to clear your head. If you reverse the order, the wash creates a barrier that makes the brick less effective. Think of it as prep, then finish.

How to use each piece without overdoing it

The Morning Soap Brick is a solid bar that you rub directly onto wet skin. It is not a daily exfoliant for most people—start with two or three times a week and adjust based on how your skin feels. The Morning Body Wash is gentle enough for daily use. Pour a small amount onto a wet washcloth or hands, work it into a lather, and rinse. Because the wash contains essential oils like Peppermint, Juniper Berry, Douglas Fir, Vetiver, Lavender, and Marjoram, you do not need a separate fragrance. The scent is strongest in the steam, so keep the bathroom door closed for a few minutes to let it build.

What to do after you step out of the shower

The kit stops at the bathroom door, but your morning ritual does not have to. Pat your skin dry instead of rubbing, and apply a body lotion or oil within three minutes to lock in the moisture the wash has already started to seal. If you want to extend the scent, use a matching body lotion or a light layer of the Morning Body Wash as a hand wash later in the day. The goal is to carry the awake feeling forward, not to reapply everything.

Morning routine steps

  1. Step 1: Start with the Morning Soap Brick on wet skin: Step into a warm shower and wet your body. Rub the Brick directly onto your skin in circular motions, focusing on rough areas like elbows, knees, and heels. The Big Sur Sea Salt, French Blue Clay, and Poppy Seeds do the exfoliating work. Common mistake: pressing too hard. Let the bar and water do the work—scrubbing aggressively can irritate skin.
  2. Step 2: Rinse thoroughly and follow with the Morning Body Wash: Rinse off all exfoliant residue. Then pour a small amount of the Body Wash onto a washcloth or your hands, lather, and smooth over your body. The six nourishing oils help seal in moisture, while the essential oils—Peppermint, Juniper Berry, Douglas Fir, Vetiver, Lavender, and Marjoram—rise with the steam. Checkpoint: you should feel clean but not tight or dry. If your skin feels stripped, reduce the amount of Body Wash next time.
  3. Step 3: Pat dry and lock in moisture: Step out, pat your skin dry with a towel, and apply a body lotion or oil within three minutes. This traps the moisture from the wash and extends the awake feeling. If you want more scent, use a matching lotion or a light spritz of the Body Wash as a hand wash later. Next step: repeat this routine two to three times a week with the Brick, and use the Body Wash daily for a consistent morning ritual.
