Notes
Have you ever heard that you're supposed to sing the entire Happy Birthday song while washing to make sure you're doing it long enough? Suddenly that song feels like it will never end! A scrub makes it easier to take your time and make hand washing more of a ritual. More like self-care.
Avoid introducing water so use a scoop to dispense a small amount into your hand.
