FAQs
How long does the tan last?
The tan typically lasts for several days, often 4-7 days, depending on your skin type and how well you care for it post-application.
Can I use this on my face?
Yes, the gel is formulated for both face and body. Apply sparingly to the face and blend well into the hairline and eyebrows.
What does 'non-returnable' mean?
It means that due to hygiene regulations, this product cannot be returned once purchased, even if unopened.
How do I remove the guide color?
After the one-hour development time, rinse the product off with lukewarm water. Do not use soap or scrub during this initial rinse.
Will the 'extra dark' shade be orange?
Tanologist formulas are designed to provide a natural-looking tan. The 'extra dark' shade aims for a deep, rich color rather than an orange tone.
How much product should I use?
A little goes a long way. Use enough to create a thin, even layer. Over-application can lead to patchiness or a darker than desired result.
What is the best way to exfoliate before use?
Exfoliate your entire body 24 hours before tanning using a scrub or exfoliating mitt. Focus on rough areas like elbows and knees to ensure an even application.
Troubleshooting
Uneven or streaky tan
Ensure skin was properly exfoliated before application. Apply the gel in thin, even layers using a tanning mitt, and blend thoroughly, especially around the joints and hairline. For future applications, try using a tanning mitt and ensure complete coverage.
Product transfer onto clothing or bedding
Allow the gel to dry completely before dressing. Wear loose, dark clothing after application. Rinse off the guide color thoroughly after the development time.
Tan fades too quickly
Moisturize your skin daily to keep it hydrated. Avoid prolonged exposure to hot water, saunas, or chlorinated pools, as these can accelerate fading. Gently pat skin dry after showering instead of rubbing.
Product is difficult to spread
Ensure you are using a tanning mitt for smooth application. Apply in smaller sections and blend quickly. If the product seems to be drying too fast, use slightly more product or work in a well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: For optimal results, exfoliate the skin thoroughly 24 hours before application to remove dead skin cells and ensure a smooth canvas. Shave or wax at least 24 hours prior. Moisturize dry areas such as elbows, knees, and ankles lightly just before application to prevent over-absorption.
Application: Apply to clean, dry skin using a tanning mitt. Use sweeping motions and blend carefully, especially around wrists, ankles, and hairline. For the face, use sparingly and blend into the hairline. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately after application to avoid staining.
Development: Allow the gel to dry completely before dressing in loose, dark clothing. The tan develops within one hour, after which you can rinse off the guide color with lukewarm water. Avoid using soap or scrubs during the initial rinse.
Care: To prolong the tan, moisturize daily with a hydrating lotion. Avoid long, hot baths, swimming, and exfoliating for the first 24-48 hours after rinsing.
