How do you use a body scrub?

To use your scrub, first wet your skin and massage the scrub onto the wet skin using gentle circular motions. You can either let it dry on your skin if you have the time, or rinse it off after the massage. Pat dry and apply a moisturizer suited to your skin.

Scrubbing is recommended 2-3 times a week. You can also use it right before you shave your arms or legs as well as after. Now you can turn your regular shower into a spa-like experience, and come out of it looking like you’ve had a thorough pampering!
