  deck: "Why dry brushing 24–48 hours before self-tanner makes a difference — and the zones where it matters most.",
  intro: "Self-tanner moves in one direction: into the outermost layer of skin. If that surface is uneven — loose cells in patches, rough texture on the knees, dry buildup at the elbows — the tanner picks up all of it. The result is blotchy colour with darker deposits exactly where the skin was roughest. Dry brushing done 24 to 48 hours before application smooths the surface the tanner lands on. Not same-day. Not immediately after waxing or epilation. Timing matters here, and so does knowing which zones actually benefit versus which ones are better left alone.",

  defn: {
    h: "What dry brushing does to the surface before tanning",
    body: "Self-tanning formulas react with the outermost cells of the skin. Dry brushing removes the loosest, most uneven of those cells before the formula is applied. The result is a more consistent surface — flatter texture, fewer rough patches, less variation in how deep the tanner sits. The effect is visible: fewer streaks at the knees, elbows, and ankles where surface texture is naturally highest.",

  myths: [
    { m: "Brush immediately before applying tanner for best results.",
      t: "Same-day brushing sensitises the skin just as the tanner is about to sit on it. Wait 24 to 48 hours. The surface benefit is already there, without the irritation risk." },
    { m: "More brushing before a tan means a longer-lasting result.",
      t: "Over-brushing removes cells the tanner needs to develop on. Two or three light passes per zone is enough." },
    { m: "Dry brushing replaces exfoliating scrubs before self-tan.",
      t: "They do different things. A scrub lifts more aggressively. Dry brushing sweeps. Some people use both at different points in the prep window — the brush 48 hours out, the scrub 24 hours out." },
