How to Use a Body Scrub?

Consult a dermatologist if you have any skin condition or are unsure about how often you should exfoliate the skin. The basic rule of thumb is using a body scrub in the bath or shower. Just massage the scrub gently into your skin in a circular motion and use warm water for rinsing it off thoroughly.
