Body scrub is best applied to damp skin in a circular, gentle motion. It can also be applied in tandem with other exfoliating products, such as loofah sponges or gloves. After scrubbing with body scrub, the skin should be rinsed off with warm water and moisturized with a gentle, fragrance-free lotion. Applying toners or astringents containing alcohol or attempting to shave freshly-scrubbed skin is not recommended, as both can cause stinging and irritation.
