What should be done after applying the scrub to each body area?

After applying the scrub to each body area, it is important to cover the area with a towel before moving on to the next part of the treatment. This step helps to retain the benefits of the scrub by allowing the exfoliating ingredients to remain in contact with the skin for a longer period of time. By covering the area, you create a warm environment that can enhance absorption, promote hydration, and ensure the client's comfort during the treatment.

This technique also helps to maintain a clean and organized treatment space, ensuring that the product does not become diluted or lose its efficacy while the practitioner works on other areas of the body. It emphasizes a thorough and methodical approach, reinforcing effective practice in body treatments.

The other options do not align with the best practices for post-scrub treatment. Rinsing immediately with cold water could disrupt the exfoliation process and negate the desired effects of the scrub. Leaving areas exposed to air may reduce the effectiveness of the product as it could dry out. Applying more product to the area without proper timing could lead to irritation or an overload of the product.
