Frequently asked questions
Everything you want to know
What is the difference between a salt scrub and a sugar scrub?
A salt scrub is coarser and exfoliates more deeply, ideal for rough skin. A sugar scrub is gentler and dissolves in water, better for sensitive or dry skin.
How should I exfoliate before applying self-tanner?
Scrub at least 24 hours beforehand so your skin can settle. That helps your tan develop evenly. Then apply a neutral body lotion and wait at least 30 minutes before applying the self-tanner.
Where should I focus when scrubbing?
All over your body, with extra attention for dry areas such as knees, elbows and heels. Rinse well and moisturise straight after.
