Take a coin-sized amount, which usually works well for small areas, and use it slightly more around the legs and back. But remember, too much scrubbing can lead to over-exfoliation.(Image Credits: Pinterest)

The massaging technique matters more than the application, where you need to use light circular motions and massage on the tough areas for 1-2 minutes.(Image Credits: Pinterest)

Once you’re done with the exfoliating process, wash off the scrub with lukewarm water, and try avoiding application of hot water, which can dry out the skin.(Image Credits: Pinterest)

As exfoliation removes dead skin cells, you also need to apply a body lotion, cream, or oil to moisturise your skin, locking in hydration, which will keep the skin soft all day.(Image Credits: Pinterest)
