Here are the recommended usage instructions: Shea Sugar Scrub Watermelon

• Apply a generous amount of the scrub to damp or dry skin.
• Gently massage in circular motions over the body (typically arms, legs, etc.) to exfoliate.
• Rinse thoroughly with water.
• For best results, follow with a moisturizer or body butter to lock in the softness/hydration. (Not always explicitly stated, but general skincare practice after a scrub.)
• Use frequency: Depending on your skin sensitivity, 1–3 times per week is common for body scrubs (this is a general recommendation). If your skin is sensitive, you may want to use less often.

Tips & Considerations

Skin types: The product is generally marketed for all skin types.

Scent strength: The watermelon scent is described as quite sweet and noticeable — some people may find it strong, so if you’re sensitive to fragrance, this is worth noting.

Shower safety tip: Because the formula contains oils, the shower floor may become slippery after use — it’s good to rinse the area well after you're done. (General tip for oil-based scrubs)

Aftercare: Since you are exfoliating the skin’s surface, follow with a good moisturizer to replenish hydration and barrier support.

Precautions: For external use only. Avoid applying to broken or irritated skin. As with any exfoliant, if you feel irritation or discomfort, rinse off and stop use. One site lists “For external use only” explicitly.

Allergen/ingredient sensitivity: Contains fragrance (parfum), essential oils (e.g., orange oil), colorants and strong exfoliating particles — if you have very sensitive skin, patch testing first is recommended.

Vegan / free from certain ingredients: The brand claims this variant is vegan, paraben-free, sulfate-free, alcohol-free and gluten-free.

After exfoliation usage: It can be a good prep step before shaving (to remove dry flaky skin) or before self-tanning (for smoother application) though not always explicitly stated.
