  9. Just like the face, the body needs exfoliation, too. Scrubs should only be used two to three times a week and rubbing in a circular motion is most effective as it helps to free ingrown hairs and is less abrasive than a back and forth movement. Give special attention to armpits, buttocks, and thighs.

Apply scrub with hands. Cover your body with an adequate amount of body scrub, and using circular motions, massage it into your skin.
