"I'm going to be applying the Jojoba based scrub to my client, Jen. And again, you want to use this product with a little bit of water, to give you a little bit of slip, because otherwise, you know, it will just be too rough on the skin's surface. But, you just want to gently go over the entire face. And, your fingers just want to be resting upon the skin's surface. You don't want to go too rough, there's a huge misconception with facial scrubs. A lot of people want to go in and just, really aggressively scrub the heck out of their skin, and there's no need to do that. The product itself, is going to really exfoliate your skin surface on its own, and your fingertips are just, you know, helping to move the product along, to other area. Go ahead and pick up a little bit more water, as you feel the skin kind of, you know, absorb the product. You always want to make sure there's a lot of slip and movement when using a facial scrub, to avoid any irritation on the skin's surface. And most of the time, you want to focus here in the nose area, like so. A lot of times our buildup really collects in this area, as our nose is our filters. And, so everything just kind of collects. And you'll find that most people have some buildup too, in the chin, with cell phones and telephones and people resting their hands. A lot of people get you know breakouts, or just collect different things in this area. And, you just want to do it for you know about a minute or so. And, to remove a scrub, you most always want to use a nice warm towel."
