Lycon Mango & Guava Sugar Scrub 520g

Refreshing tropical body scrub as a base for self-tanner and summer skin

A beautiful, even summer complexion doesn’t start with applying self-tanner — it starts one step earlier, by shedding the old skin layer. Patchy development, edges around ankles and knees, and premature fading almost always come down to one thing: insufficiently prepared skin.

The Mango & Guava Sugar Scrub in the 520-gram jar is designed to make this preparation a regular part of your summer routine. The oil-free formula with mango extract, guava extract, and sugar crystals thoroughly polishes the skin without leaving a greasy film — crucial, as self-tanner does not adhere to skin with oil residues. The large jar allows you to scrub generously without worry in the lead-up to summer or before a vacation, even over larger areas like the back and legs.

Advantages

• Prepares the skin optimally for self-tanner and ensures an even absorption pattern
• Helps fade old self-tanner residues without scrubbing or harsh agents
• Gives the skin an immediate glow by loosening dead skin cells and stimulating blood circulation
• Contains mango extract with natural AHAs for visibly smoother skin texture
• Fresh tropical scent that suits an energetic morning routine rather than a relaxing evening bath

Active Ingredients

Mango Extract: Mango naturally contains carotenoids — pigments that support the skin from within — and fruit acids such as AHAs that aid in cell renewal. In a body scrub, this means mango not only acts as a fragrance component but also actively contributes to a more even skin texture. Especially relevant when preparing for self-tanner.

Guava Extract: Guava has a distinct tropical aroma and is a natural source of antioxidants, including beta-carotene. Antioxidants protect skin cells from damage caused by free radicals — an important benefit for those who spend a lot of time in the sun or want to support their skin before exposure.

Sugar Crystals: Sugar is a natural source of glycolic acid (AHA), which, combined with the physical action of the granules, provides double exfoliation. For the skin, this means a smoother surface and better absorption of self-tanner, body lotion, or oil applied afterward.

Vitamin E: A fat-soluble antioxidant that protects the skin from free radicals and maintains the lipid barrier. After scrubbing and before applying self-tanner or sun products, vitamin E provides a reassuring base layer of protection.

How to use

1. First wet the skin in the shower — preferably 24 hours before applying self-tanner
2. Scoop a generous amount from the jar and spread it over legs, arms, torso, and back
3. Massage in circular motions, paying extra attention to knees, elbows, and ankles where self-tanner tends to build up
4. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and dry the skin well
5. After this scrub, consciously skip body lotion if applying self-tanner within 24 hours — the skin must remain dry and oil-free for optimal adhesion

Suitable for

• Self-tanner enthusiasts who want to avoid patchy application
• Those who spend time in the sun regularly and want to prepare their skin for an even complexion
• People with dull skin who need an energizing morning routine
• Preparation of legs for hair removal or shaving during the summer season
• Fans of distinct tropical fruity scents

Frequently Asked Questions

How long before applying self-tanner should I scrub?

Preferably 12 to 24 hours in advance. This gives the skin time to recover and ensures any leftover scrub and lotion are completely rinsed off. Scrubbing immediately before application is possible, but then let the skin dry completely for at least an hour.

Does this scrub also help fade old self-tanner?

Yes. The combination of sugar crystals and mango AHAs helps to loosen dead skin cells that have absorbed old self-tanner. With regular use, patchy tan fades faster, allowing you to start fresh with a clean base.

Is the scent strong enough to be noticeable in the shower?

Yes, mango and guava form a distinct tropical duo that really comes to life in the steam of a warm shower. The scent is fruity and fresh — different from the sweeter coconut or vanilla notes — and pairs well with a morning scrub that wakes you up.
