FAQs
How long does it take for the tan to develop?
The tan typically develops over 4-8 hours. It is recommended to leave it on for this period before rinsing for optimal color. Some users may prefer to leave it on longer for a deeper shade.
Can I use this on my face?
While formulated for body use, the hydrating formula is generally suitable for the face. However, it's recommended to use a product specifically designed for facial application for best results and to avoid the eye area.
How do I remove a self-tan mistake?
For minor mistakes, try exfoliating the area gently with a body scrub or a mitt. For more stubborn marks, a self-tan remover product may be necessary.
How often should I reapply?
The tan typically lasts 5-7 days. Reapply as needed to maintain your desired color, ensuring proper skin preparation each time.
What is the difference between this and lighter shades?
The 'Ultra Dark' shade is designed to provide a significantly deeper and richer tan compared to lighter versions. The development time and application technique remain the same, but the intensity of the final color will be more pronounced.
Does this product contain SPF?
This product does not contain SPF. It is important to use a separate sunscreen when exposing your skin to the sun.
Troubleshooting
Uneven or streaky tan
Ensure skin was properly exfoliated and moisturized before application. Use a tanning mitt for even application and blend carefully, especially on dry areas. Reapply to lighter areas if necessary after initial development.
Tan fades too quickly
Moisturize skin daily after the initial development. Avoid long, hot showers/baths and harsh exfoliants. Consider a tan extender product.
Product won't dispense properly
Ensure the can is shaken well before use. Check that the nozzle is not blocked. If blocked, try cleaning it gently with warm water.
Self-tan smell is too strong
While the scent is common during development, ensure adequate ventilation during application. Moisturizing after development can help mask the scent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: For the best and most even results, exfoliate your skin thoroughly 24 hours before application. Ensure skin is clean, dry, and free from lotions, oils, or deodorants. Shave or wax at least 24-48 hours prior to application.
Application: Shake the can well before use. Dispense a generous amount of foam onto a tanning mitt. Apply to the skin in smooth, sweeping motions, blending carefully. Use sparingly on dry areas like elbows, knees, and ankles. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately after application.
Drying and Development: Allow the tan to dry completely before dressing. Avoid water, lotions, and sweating for at least 4-8 hours (or as per product instructions) while the tan develops.
Care: To prolong the tan, moisturize your skin daily. Avoid long, hot baths and abrasive scrubs, which can fade the tan faster. Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
