Yes, this scrub is a practical step before body lotion, body oil or self-tanner. When the scrub loosens and removes the surface layer of dead skin cells, the skin becomes more even to the touch, and follow-up products spread much more evenly. Self-tanner is less likely to cling to rough patches, and lotions and oils do not sit on dry flaky areas as often.
For self-tanner, the common approach is to exfoliate one day before you apply it, so the skin has time to calm down and return to its normal balance. On the day of application, the skin should be clean, completely dry and free of any oily residue, because most self-tanners develop best on oil-free skin. If you prefer to do everything in one session, use the scrub, rinse very well, pat the skin dry and then apply the tanner.
For body lotion and body oil, you can apply them immediately after the scrub. The formula already contains a blend of six oils, so the skin should not feel stripped or tight after rinsing — the moisturizer is simply an extra layer that helps maintain the smooth feel between exfoliation sessions.
