When using a granular scrub during a pedicure:

• A. Use as much pressure as possible
• B. Don't apply too much pressure
• C. Scrub only the heels
• D. Skip rinsing afterward

Answer: (B)

Granular scrubs exfoliate by abrading the skin, so using gentle, controlled pressure is essential. Pressing hard can irritate or injure the skin, cause redness, micro-tears, or heightened sensitivity—especially over dry heels or cracked areas. By applying light to moderate pressure in small, circular motions, you allow the abrasive particles to lift dead skin without harming healthy tissue, leading to safer, more comfortable exfoliation. Move across the area evenly, avoid rubbing over irritated spots, and rinse and moisturize afterward to remove residue and restore moisture.
