Tips & Warnings
To use, dampen your skin with warm water and smooth the honey almond fruit scrub gently onto your face and neck. Leave it for 5 to 10 minutes. Moisten your fingers and massage the scrub into your skin, using a circular motion to exfoliate. Rinse the scrub with warm water and dry your face, patting it gently with a soft dry towel. Follow with a facial toner and moisturizer.
