Sun-Kissed Pre-Tanning Body Scrub

Exfoliate at least once per week to remove built-up dead skin cells.

Healthy, regularly moisturized and exfoliated skin will allow you to tan

more evenly. Sun exposure is much healthier when you use the

appropriate precautions. Remember your hat and sunscreen and stay out

of the sun during the middle of the day, when its rays are the strongest.

SKINCARE SECRETS

This scrub is designed to leave oils on your skin. For maximum

benefit, do not use soap to wash off the residual oils. Towel off and

the nutrients in the botanical oils will greatly benefit your skin,

soaking in after a few minutes. You will not likely need any additional

moisturizer. Avoid any open wounds and use caution, as the shower

floor may become slippery. Not recommended for use on sunburned

skin or open wounds.
