FAQs

How long does it take to see results?

You should begin to see a subtle, natural-looking tan developing within a few days of consistent daily application.

Can I use this product on my face?

Yes, you can use it on your face. Apply sparingly and blend well, avoiding direct contact with your eyes. Wash hands thoroughly after application.

Does this moisturizer protect my skin from the sun?

No, this product does not contain sunscreen and does not protect against sunburn or UV radiation. Always apply a separate broad-spectrum sunscreen when exposed to the sun.

How do I control the intensity of my tan?

The intensity of your tan is controlled by the frequency of application. Apply daily for a deeper tan, or every other day for a lighter, more subtle glow. Once your desired shade is reached, apply every few days to maintain it.

Will this product stain my clothes or sheets?

To minimize transfer, allow the lotion to fully absorb and dry completely on your skin before dressing or going to bed. This typically takes 5-10 minutes. If staining occurs, wash fabrics as soon as possible.

What is the scent of the product?

*Info needed: Specific scent profile.* Palmer's Cocoa Butter products typically have a characteristic mild, pleasant cocoa butter scent.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

While generally well-tolerated, if you have sensitive skin, it's recommended to perform a patch test on a small area of skin 24 hours before full body application. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

How long does the tan last?

The gradual tan will last as long as you continue to use the product to maintain it. If you stop using it, the tan will gradually fade as your skin naturally exfoliates.

Troubleshooting

Tan appears streaky or uneven.

Ensure skin is thoroughly exfoliated before application, especially on dry areas. Apply the lotion evenly in circular motions, paying close attention to blending around knees, elbows, and ankles. Wash hands immediately after use.

Tan is too light or not developing.

Apply the product daily for several consecutive days to build the desired intensity. Ensure you are using enough product to cover the area. Consistency is key with gradual tanners.

Tan is too dark or unnatural-looking.

Reduce the frequency of application. Instead of daily, try every other day or every third day. For areas that are too dark, gentle exfoliation can help to lighten the color. Discontinue use to allow the tan to fade.

Skin irritation or rash occurs after use.

Discontinue use immediately. If irritation or rash persists, consult a doctor. This may indicate a sensitivity to one of the ingredients.

Product transferred to clothing or bedding.

Ensure the product is fully absorbed and dry before dressing or lying down. This may take 5-10 minutes. Wearing loose-fitting, dark clothing immediately after application can also help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup & Application

  1. Preparation: For best results, ensure your skin is clean, dry, and exfoliated before the first application. This helps ensure an even, streak-free tan.
  2. Application: Apply a generous amount of the gradual tanning moisturizer evenly over your body, just like you would a regular body lotion. Work in sections to ensure full coverage.
  3. Blending: Pay extra attention to blending around areas like elbows, knees, ankles, and hairline to avoid darker patches.
  4. Hand Washing: Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately after application to prevent tanning of your palms.
  5. Drying Time: Allow the product to fully absorb and dry before dressing to prevent transfer to clothing.

Compatibility

  • Skin Tones: This product is designed for *all skin tones*, allowing for a customized level of tan from fair to dark through gradual application.

Care & Maintenance
