What you need to know before applying the scrub

1. You can scrub dry skin twice a month, oily skin once a week.
2. Scrubs should not be used on damaged or irritated skin, as well as for skin diseases.
3. Be sure to perform a sensitivity test before using a new scrub. Apply to wrist, hold for 20 minutes and rinse. Observe the condition of the skin for 24 hours.
