You shouldn’t apply this scrub on dry skin, wet the area on which you want to apply this scrub. Honestly, it is a full-body scrub. You can apply it to your face, neck, back, knees, legs, hands, etc. Just wet the area a bit before applying this scrub
I would recommend you to do this while taking a bath
Once the area is wet, take a small amount of this scrub & apply it & gently massage it
As our scrub is in a dry powder form, it is important that the skin is wet so that it works fine. Just gently massage with this scrub for 2-3 minutes & then you can wash it off.
Just once or twice a week is enough. As there is oil in sesame seeds It will nourish your skin, it acts as moisturizer & turmeric will help to remove dead skin, impurities & will give your skin a glow
