How to Use

Use dampened as a soap sponge to cleanse the skin or dry for dry brushing to remove dead skin cells.
For cleansing: add water and soap until the sponge is soft and produces a foamy lather. Wash body in circular motions and rinse any soap residue with water leaving the skin clean and gentle to the touch.
For dry brushing: Use the sponge when it is completely dry. The texture will feel rough and hard to squeeze. Rub the dry sponge over skin in a clockwise circular motion to remove dead skin cells and buildup. Use before a shower for best results.
