The Gatineau Golden Glow Gradual Tan is formulated to deliver both immediate hydration and a progressive tanning effect. Upon application, the cream-gel absorbs quickly, leaving skin feeling soft and moisturized. The tanning agents then work over several hours to develop a light, natural-looking bronze. For best results, use daily to gradually build your desired tan intensity. For example, apply after showering in the morning; by evening, a subtle glow will be visible. Continued use over 3-5 days typically results in a noticeable, even tan. Its buildable nature means you have control over the depth of your color – apply less frequently for a hint of tint, or daily for a deeper shade. Ensure even coverage, especially around drier areas like elbows, knees, and ankles, to prevent patchiness. Always allow the product to fully absorb before dressing to avoid transfer.
Before your first application, gently exfoliate your skin to create a smooth canvas, which helps prevent uneven tanning. Pay extra attention to dry areas like elbows, knees, and ankles. Ensure your skin is completely clean and dry before applying. The product is generally compatible with most skin types, but a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of skin 24 hours before full application is recommended to check for sensitivity. Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its efficacy. Always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately after application to avoid staining palms. For optimal results and product longevity, keep the lid tightly closed when not in use.
