FAQs
How often should I use the Alpha Beta Glow Pads?
For a gradual tan, you can use the pads every day or every other day until you achieve your desired color. Once you have your tan, use them 1-3 times per week to maintain it.
Can I use these pads on my face?
Yes, these pads are specifically designed for both face and body application. The Alpha and Beta Hydroxy Acids help to refine skin texture on the face for an even glow.
How long does it take to see results?
The tan develops gradually. You should see a subtle color appear within 2-4 hours after application, with the full color developing over the next 24 hours. Repeat applications will build a deeper tan.
Do I need to rinse after using the pads?
It is not required to rinse. However, if you prefer a lighter tan or have sensitive skin, you can rinse off the product after 2-4 hours. For a deeper tan, leave it on.
What is the shelf life of the pads?
When stored properly in their original, sealed packaging at room temperature, the pads are best used within 12-18 months of opening. Ensure the seal is tight to preserve moisture.
Can I use other skincare products after applying the glow pad?
Allow the tanning solution to dry completely before applying other skincare products or dressing. Avoid oil-based products immediately after application, as they can interfere with the tan development.
Why are these pads non-returnable?
The product is non-returnable for hygiene reasons, as per standard practice for skincare and self-care items to ensure product integrity and safety for all customers.
Troubleshooting
Uneven or streaky tan
Ensure skin is thoroughly exfoliated and dry before application. Apply in consistent, sweeping motions. Allow to dry completely before rinsing or dressing. Reapply to lighter areas after the initial tan has developed.
Product seems to be drying out
Make sure the resealable packaging is closed tightly after each use. Store upright in a cool, dry place. If a few pads feel dry, try using them quickly as they may still have some product.
Skin irritation or redness
Discontinue use immediately. Perform a patch test on a small area of skin before full application. If sensitivity persists, consult a dermatologist.
Tan is too light or too dark
For a lighter tan, use less product or apply less frequently. For a darker tan, apply more frequently or layer applications once the initial tan has developed. Rinsing after a few hours can also control intensity.
