NEOCAPSIDERM may be chosen before or after exercise when you want a pronounced warming sensation in a specific area, such as calves, shoulders, knees or the back. Before activity, some people use warming products as part of a massage routine because the local heat can make the area feel looser. After activity, it may be used when muscles feel tense or stiff and a heat-based product is preferred.
Use a small amount first and pay attention to timing. The warming sensation can build gradually, and sweat, friction from clothing or intensive movement may make it feel stronger. If you are using it before training, avoid applying too much and do not use it under tight wraps or occlusive sports gear unless you already know how your skin reacts. After training, apply only to clean, intact skin and avoid irritated or freshly shaved areas.
Do not combine it right away with other strong warming methods, such as hot baths, heating pads or saunas, because the combined heat may be uncomfortable. If the sensation becomes too intense, wash the area with mild soap and cool water and stop using the product. Keep it away from eyes and mucous membranes, and wash hands thoroughly after application.
