Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the benefits of this lotion, apply a generous amount to clean, dry skin. For the best results, use it daily starting 3 to 5 days before exposure to help prepare your melanin levels. Post-exposure, apply to clean skin to lock in moisture and soothe the epidermis. This product is compatible with all skin types and can be used alongside your existing skincare routine. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the natural botanical extracts. Always remember to apply a separate, dedicated SPF product if you are going to be in the sun, as this lotion does not offer UV protection.
