What are the best times to use this scrub in my body care routine?

This scrub works best as a pre-cleansing step in your routine, particularly when preparing skin for subsequent treatments. The primary benefit is removing dead surface cells and product buildup, which creates a smoother canvas for what follows. Use it on clean, damp skin in the shower or bath before applying body lotions, oils, or self-tanning products.

For self-tanning applications, exfoliate 12-24 hours beforehand to ensure even product adhesion and prevent streaky results. After scrubbing, wait for skin to dry completely before applying self-tan, as this prevents the product from becoming patchy. When using with rich body creams, apply the scrub first, rinse thoroughly, towel dry, then follow with your chosen moisturizer while skin is still slightly damp to maximize hydration.

Avoid using this scrub immediately before swimming or extended water exposure, as the exfoliated skin may be more sensitive. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to maintain product integrity between uses.
