After massaging the scrub, rinse with lukewarm water and pay attention to areas where particles can settle, such as the hairline, jawline, and around the nose. Pat the face dry with a clean towel rather than rubbing it. The skin has just received mild mechanical exfoliation, so gentle handling matters.
Follow immediately with a moisturizer suited to your skin type. Exfoliation can leave the surface feeling drier or more exposed, and a moisturizer helps keep the skin comfortable. Oily or combination skin may prefer a lightweight lotion or gel; drier skin may need a richer cream. On scrub days, it is better to keep the rest of your evening routine simple and avoid applying retinoids, acid toners, or other strong active ingredients directly after the scrub.
Because exfoliation can make the skin more sensitive to sun exposure, include a broad-spectrum sunscreen in your morning routine as a normal part of daily care. Also, do not use this scrub right after shaving or on skin that is chapped, sunburned, peeling, or broken. Keep the jar closed, store it in a cool dry place, and do not let water get into the product.
