Can I use this scrub to prepare my skin for self-tan?

Yes. The product is designed to be used before self-tan, because removing the top layer of dead cells makes the skin surface smoother, so self-tan can develop more evenly instead of settling more heavily on rough patches. This is a common step before applying self-tan, regardless of the brand.

For the best practical result, use the scrub at least a few hours before you apply self-tan, or the evening before. That gives any temporary redness or moisture left by the shower time to settle. Rinse the scrub off very thoroughly, then make sure the skin is completely clean and dry before applying self-tan; follow the instructions on the self-tan product itself. If you apply self-tan straight after scrubbing, the skin may still be damp or warm, which can make the colour less predictable.

Do not use the scrub on irritated or freshly shaved skin, and do not apply self-tan to areas that are red or broken. If you plan to shave as well, keep the steps separated in time so the skin has a chance to recover. If your skin is sensitive, do a small patch test with the scrub before using it all over your body before self-tan.
