How to Use a Body Scrub the Right Way (And Why It Changes Everything)

How to Use a Body Scrub the Right Way (And Why It Changes Everything)

Step 1: Start in the shower, not before. Wet your skin with warm water first. Warm water opens your pores and softens the skin, making the scrub 10x more effective. Dry skin and sugar scrubs don't mix well.

Step 2: Take a small scoop — less than you think. A little goes a long way. Scoop about a tablespoon into your palm and work it between your hands first to let the oils warm up.

Step 3: Circular motions only. Massage in slow, small circles — especially on rough spots like elbows, knees, and heels. Don't scrub hard. The sugar does the work, your job is just to guide it.

Step 4: Rinse with warm water, pat dry. Don't rub dry — pat. Your skin will already have a light layer of oil from the scrub that acts as a natural moisturizer. Let it sink in.

Step 5: Follow up with body butter. This is the secret step. Right after you pat dry while your skin is still slightly warm, apply a small amount of body butter. It locks everything in and your skin will feel silky for hours.

Our Something Strawberry Body Polish was made with exactly this routine in mind — silky sugar, real strawberry, and skin-loving oils that leave you glowing. Try it once the right way and you'll never go back.
