Expert Tip:
Not sure if you need a body scrub? Leah Capponi from Kit Cosmetics explains why they are a must, especially this season.
“As we head into the summer months, a scrub is an absolute must-do prior to any fake tanning as it gives a more even, natural and streak free finish. Plus, A scrub is the perfect morning wakeup-call for your mind and body. They give gentle yet effective exfoliation so you’ll have smoother, softer and non-scaly limbs to show for all your extra time in the shower! “
