Body scrub:

The application technique for the body is identical to that for the face. It is simply necessary to make larger circular movements with the palms of the hands. Insist on areas with heavy calluses (elbows, feet, etc.) and on areas with ingrown hairs. Don't hesitate to make movements to palpate and roll at the level of the thighs. Leave on for 3-5 minutes, enough time to shampoo yourself, for example. Rinse with clear water. No need to apply a cream after the shower. The skin is soft, well nourished and hydrated.

In my routine I collect coffee grounds every day and put them aside to make a weekly body and face exfoliation treatment at the end of the week.
