How should I apply the cream for the best effect?

This cream is designed to be applied with massage rather than simply rubbed in and forgotten, so the technique is part of the product's use:

1. Apply a small amount to clean, dry, intact skin over the area you want to work on — a knee, shoulder, lower back or along the spine.
2. Massage it in with slow circular movements for a couple of minutes, until the cream is distributed evenly. The circular motion helps create the warming sensation the product is intended for.
3. Give the skin a few minutes to absorb the cream before dressing, so it doesn't just transfer to clothing.

Typical moments to use it: after a workout, after physical work like gardening, or at the end of a day spent mostly in one position. Many people prefer applying it in the evening, when they have time for an unhurried massage and the body can rest afterwards.

Two practical cautions: keep it away from the eyes and mucous membranes, and wash your hands after application so you don't accidentally transfer it to your face. Do not apply it to irritated, broken or freshly shaved skin — the product is meant for intact skin only.
