Some girls still do not fully understand what a hot scrub is, how to use such an amazing tool. Based on the name, many conclude that the essence of the procedure lies precisely in the temperature of the means with which the scrubbing is performed. There is some logic in this, but nevertheless, the method works in a different way.

Then a delicate massage is performed. After that, the mass remains a little more on the body, and then it should be scrupulously washed off. How much time to massage, how long to leave, depends on the composition. The more aggressive the burning components, the more careful you need to be.
The same goes for the frequency of repetition of the procedure. If the composition is gentle, you can scrub every three days. To enhance the fat-burning effect, a wrap is recommended immediately after execution.
