LUXIVA AHA Body Scrub

This cleansing formula polishes skin, refines lines and smoothes and softens rough, dry patches with 3% Alpha Hydroxy Fruit Acids. The exfoliating action leaves skin feeling soft, clean, refreshed and invigorated.

Before you apply your self tanner:

1 Exfoliate Exfoliate Exfoliate

Use an exfoliating scrub before self tanning. Don't overscrub! Pay extra attention to your knees, ankles, feet, elbows and neck. This will help achieve a uniform appearance since self-tanners grab on to dry skin surface areas. Completely dry off before applying.

2 Shower off

You want clean skin before you use your self-tanner. Any perspiration tends to make application streaky.

3 Moisturize

Apply a thin layer of lightweight moisturizer over the areas where you will be applying your self-tanner. This will help the self-tanner go on smoothly without clinging to dry patches. A little extra moisturizer over ankles, knees and elbows can prevent those areas from looking patchy.
