Applying Body Scrub ~ 8 Easy Steps

Okay, so using a body scrub isn’t exactly rocket science, however, there are some things to know before using these incredible skin rejuvenating products.

 8 How To Steps:

1.  Always apply to wet skin.

2.  Use a gentle circular motion, directed toward the heart, without applying pressure.  Let the scrub do the work.

3.  If using a body scrub scented with an essential oil, take a few deep cleansing breaths.  

4.  Let the oil rest on your skin for a few minutes.

5.  BE CAREFUL!  The oils can make the tub surface slick.

6.  Completely wash body scrub off, do not use soap or shower gel after applying body scrub.  

7. Exit shower and gently pat skin dry.

8. If your skin is extremely dry, apply a body butter for extra moisturizing. 

Remember, beautiful skin takes work.  Exfoliating your entire body can help prevent body acne in many places below your neck, such as the chest, back and arms and remove dry itchy, dead skin cells.  It also may help you avoid ingrown hairs by preventing dead skin cells from plugging up follicles where you've shaved or waxed. And it can help even out skin tone and keep your skin hydrated and soft.

As far as how often you should use a body scrub, most health experts agree that two or three times a week is plenty.  If your skin is very sensitive, you might prefer to do it less. Keep in mind that the purpose of exfoliating is to remove skin cells that are dead. You shouldn't have to scrub too hard or too often to make that happen. If you do, you're likely to take off healthy cells, too, which might leave your skin looking red and feeling sore. Applying the scrub gently on your skin in circular motions should be enough to get the job done. The end result is soft, nouished, young looking skin.  Enjoy~
