How to use body scrubs for the best results!

Scrubs are a great way of improving your skin's texture and tone. But if you are new to exfoliating test an area of skin first to ensure there is no reaction. Then start by applying once a week. You can gradually increase this to 2-3 times a week once your skin has adjusted. On scrub days, avoid using body washes as this will leave your skin feeling dry.Got a question?
