FAQs
How often should I apply the self-tanner?
Apply as needed to achieve and maintain your desired tan intensity. For a gradual tan, application every 2-3 days is common. For a more pronounced tan, you can apply daily until the desired shade is reached.
Do I need to wash my hands after applying?
Yes, it is crucial to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately after application to prevent staining and discoloration of your palms and fingers.
Can I use this on my face?
Yes, this product is formulated for both face and body application.
How long does it take to see results?
The tan develops gradually over several hours. You will typically see a visible golden tone within 4-8 hours after application.
Will this product protect me from the sun?
No, this product is a self-tanner and does not contain any SPF or offer protection against sun exposure.
What is the best way to prepare my skin before application?
For optimal results, exfoliate your skin thoroughly 24 hours before application and moisturize dry areas like elbows, knees, and ankles. Ensure skin is clean and dry before applying the self-tanner.
How long does the tan last?
The duration of the tan depends on individual skin cell turnover and aftercare, but it typically lasts for several days. Reapplication can extend its longevity.
Troubleshooting
Uneven tan or streaks
Ensure skin was properly exfoliated and moisturized before application. Apply in thin, even layers and blend thoroughly, especially at the wrists, ankles, and hairline. Wash hands meticulously after application.
Product feels sticky or heavy
Apply a thinner layer of the lotion and allow it more time to dry. Ensure you are not applying over other heavy creams or oils.
Tan is too light or too dark
Adjust the frequency of application. For a lighter tan, use less product or apply less frequently. For a deeper tan, apply a second coat after the initial application has dried or on consecutive days.
Orange or unnatural color
This can sometimes occur if the skin is not properly prepped or if too much product is used. Ensure even application and consider exfoliating more thoroughly. The tan should develop into a golden hue.
