Body Scrub : When To Use It Before or After Shaving?

Do You Use Body Scrub Before or After Shaving?

Scrubbing removes dead skin.

Lifts tiny hairs too.

So when you shave after?

Razor glides smoother.

Less bumps. Less ingrown hair.

Cleaner finish. Not perfect. But close.

What Happens If You Do It After

You can… but not right away.

Skin is already sensitive after shaving.

Scrubbing then?

Feels harsh. Sometimes burns.

Not worth it.

If you really want to, wait a day.

But honestly, before shaving works best.

• Wet your skin first
  
• Use scrub gently (30–40 seconds)
  
• Rinse it off

• Moisturize after everything
  

That’s it. No overthinking.
