Learn how to use Scrub Away + Pennello in the right order, how often to scrub with a brush, and post-scrub care for smoother skin without irritation.

Quick answer

Use Scrub Away + Pennello on damp skin with light, circular brush strokes, then rinse and follow with a moisturizer. Keep sessions short and space them out so your skin has time to recover.

Why order and pressure matter more than the product alone

Scrub Away + Pennello combines a scrub and a brush, but results depend on how you use them. Applying scrub to dry skin or pressing hard with the brush can leave skin feeling tight or irritated, especially on areas like the chest and backs of the arms.

The brush helps spread the scrub evenly and lifts away dead surface cells, while the scrub formula provides the exfoliating action. Treat the brush as a tool for gentle distribution, not for scrubbing harder.

When to skip the brush or shorten the routine

If your skin is already sensitive, sun-exposed, or recovering from shaving, use the scrub with your hands instead of the brush, or skip exfoliation that day. The same applies if you notice stinging or redness during use.

Scrub Away + Pennello is suitable for a variety of skin types, but that does not mean every skin type needs the same frequency. Start with one short session per week and adjust based on how your skin feels the next day.

Step-by-step scrub and brush routine

Start with damp skin: Shower or rinse so your skin is wet but not dripping. Apply a small amount of Scrub Away + Pennello to the brush or your hands. Mistake to avoid: using the scrub on dry skin, which can feel abrasive and be harder to spread.
Brush in light circles: Use the brush in gentle circular motions over each area for a few seconds, letting the bristles do the work. Do not press down hard or scrub the same spot repeatedly. Checkpoint: the brush should glide easily; if it drags, add a splash of water.
Rinse and pat dry: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat your skin dry with a clean towel. Avoid rubbing vigorously. Mistake to avoid: leaving scrub residue on the skin, which can feel filmy.
Follow with moisturizer: Apply your usual body moisturizer within a few minutes while skin is still slightly damp. This is your post-scrub skin care step. Checkpoint: if skin stings when you apply moisturizer, you may have scrubbed too hard or too often.
Set your frequency: Start with one session per week. If skin feels comfortable, you can try twice weekly; if it feels tight or looks red, wait longer between sessions. Mistake to avoid: daily brush scrubbing, which can overwhelm skin even if the product is gentle.
Clean the brush after use: Rinse the brush thoroughly and let it air-dry completely between uses. Store it in a dry place. Checkpoint: a damp brush can harbor residue and lose its effectiveness.
