Can I use this gel before or after exercise, and what's the best way to apply it?

Yes, the gel is suitable for use both before and after physical activity, serving slightly different purposes. Applied before exercise, the cooling sensation can provide a distracting, refreshing feel that some find pleasant as they start moving. Applied after exertion to areas that feel tense or overworked, it can offer a soothing sensation to complement rest and recovery. For the best results, apply a pea- to walnut-sized amount to intact, clean skin on the target area, like shoulders, back, or legs. Gently massage it in until fully absorbed; the non-greasy formula should not leave a heavy residue. Always wash your hands after application to avoid accidentally transferring the gel to sensitive areas like your eyes. If you are using it for the first time, test on a small skin area to check for individual sensitivity to menthol or camphor.
