How To Use: DIY Pomegranate Body Scrub

Step 1: Prepare Your Skin
Start by washing your body with warm water to open up the pores and remove any dirt or impurities. Pat your skin dry gently with a towel.

Step 2: Scoop the Scrub
Take a generous amount of the pomegranate body scrub with clean fingers or a spoon. You can adjust the quantity based on the areas you want to exfoliate.

Step 3: Apply and Massage
Using gentle circular motions, apply the scrub to your damp skin. Focus on areas that may be rough or in need of exfoliation, such as elbows, knees, and heels. Avoid using the scrub on any open cuts or wounds.

Step 4: Exfoliate
Continue massaging the scrub into your skin for about 5 minutes. The sugar granules will work to exfoliate and slough off dead skin cells, while the pomegranate peel powder and oils provide nourishment.

Step 5: Let it Sit
For enhanced benefits, leave the scrub on your skin for an additional 2-3 minutes. This allows the oils to deeply penetrate and hydrate your skin.

Step 6: Rinse Off
Thoroughly rinse off the scrub with warm water. You may use your hands or a gentle washcloth to remove the scrub entirely.

Step 7: Pat Dry and Moisturize
Gently pat your skin dry with a clean towel. Take a moment to admire the newfound radiance and softness. For ultimate hydration, follow up with your favorite body lotion or moisturizer to lock in the nourishing effects of the pomegranate body scrub.

Step 8: Repeat and Store
You can use this highly effective DIY pomegranate body scrub up to twice a week, depending on your skin’s sensitivity. Store any remaining scrub in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for future use.
