Product Information
Full details
The b.tan Glow Your Own Way Self Tan Gel is an ideal choice for self-tanning enthusiasts who prioritize a mess-free, clear formula that provides a natural-looking bronze finish without the need for traditional dark-colored guide tints. It is perfect for those seeking a quick-drying application that won't transfer onto clothing or sheets during the development phase, though users must be diligent during application to ensure full coverage as the lack of color guide can make it difficult to see where the product has already been applied.

FAQs
Does this gel contain a guide color?
No, it is a clear gel formula specifically designed to be transfer-resistant.
How long should I leave it on before showering?
For best results, allow the product to develop on the skin for at least 4 to 8 hours before rinsing.
Will this stain my bed sheets?
Because the formula is clear and quick-drying, it is much less likely to stain sheets compared to colored tanning products.
Can I use this on my face?
While it is designed for the body, many users find it compatible with facial skin, but it is recommended to perform a patch test first to ensure no irritation occurs.
How do I ensure an even application without a color guide?
Apply the gel in sections and use a tanning mitt, focusing on circular motions to ensure full coverage.
Is this product vegan or cruelty-free?
b.tan products are generally formulated to be vegan and cruelty-free; please check the specific bottle label for the latest certification status.
Troubleshooting
Uneven or patchy color development
This usually indicates missed spots during application or inadequate exfoliation. Ensure you buff the product into the skin thoroughly and exfoliate well before the next application.
Stained palms after application
Always use a dedicated tanning mitt or wash your hands with soap and water immediately after you finish applying the product.
Color is too light after one application
This is a buildable formula. If you prefer a darker result, wait for the first layer to fully develop and reapply the product the following day.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best results, exfoliate your skin 24 hours before use, focusing on dry areas like elbows, knees, and ankles. Avoid applying heavy moisturizers, perfumes, or deodorants immediately before using the gel, as these can create a barrier and cause uneven development. After application, wash your hands thoroughly to avoid staining your palms. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the formula. If you experience accidental staining on clothing, the clear formula typically washes out easily compared to traditional tinted mousses.
