Tips for Using Homemade Body Scrubs
- Use a small amount of scrub and massage gently onto your skin. Don’t apply too much pressure or scrub too hard, as this can irritate your skin.
- Rinse off the scrub with warm water, and pat your skin dry with a towel.
- Use the scrub once or twice a week to avoid over-exfoliating your skin.
- Store the scrub in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. You can use the scrub for up to a month.
