10. Work scrub over shoulder area and down each arm to the palm of the hands. Do not work in-between fingers.

11. Take 1 damp, heated towel and compress, then remove product from the back, moving from the lower back to upper back. With a new damp, heated towel compress and remove product from each arm. Re-drape back and arms.

12. Have client turn onto their back, keeping the drape in place.

13. Using the Exfoliating Gloves again, repeat the process of dry exfoliation (as explained in step 3) on the legs, décolleté and shoulder areas. Remember to do 1 area at a time, using circular motions from the top of the foot to the quadriceps area.

14. Apply the mixture Eco-fin mixture to each exfoliated area, followed by the Sugar Cane Crystals. Use gentle, circular motions to scrub each area one at a time.

17. Take 1 damp, heated towel and compress the area before removing the scrub.

18. Assist the client to sit up. Roll the bath towel toward the client and assist them back down to the supine position, having them gently raise hips so the therapist can pull down the remaining bath towel.

19. Remove your second dish of Eco-fin mixture from the towel warmer and use to perform your standard massage techniques.
