FAQs
How long does the tan last?
The developed tan typically lasts for several days, depending on your skincare routine and how often you shower. Regular moisturizing can help extend its life.
Can I use this on my face?
While designed for the body, some users apply it to the face. However, it's recommended to use a product specifically formulated for facial skin or use the mousse very sparingly and carefully, ensuring it doesn't get into the eyes.
How often can I reapply the mousse?
You can reapply the mousse every 24-48 hours after the previous application has faded or if you wish to deepen your tan. Ensure proper skin preparation before each application.
Does the guide color stain?
The guide color is designed to help with application and washes off during your first rinse. While it shouldn't permanently stain, it's best to wear dark, loose clothing and bedding immediately after application and before rinsing to avoid temporary transfer.
Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?
The mousse is dermatologically tested and free from parabens and sulphates, which may make it suitable for sensitive skin. However, it's always recommended to perform a patch test on a small area of skin 24 hours before full application.
What is the best way to remove the tan if I'm unhappy with it?
To remove or lighten an unwanted tan, soak the skin in warm water (e.g., a bath) and gently exfoliate with a loofah or exfoliating mitt. Repeat as necessary. You can also use a tan remover product.
Troubleshooting
Uneven or streaky tan
Ensure skin was thoroughly exfoliated and moisturized on dry areas prior to application. Use a tanning mitt and blend in circular motions. Bend knees and elbows during application. Ensure no areas were missed.
Tan is too light/dark
Adjust the development time. For a lighter tan, rinse after 1 hour. For a deeper tan, leave on for up to 3 hours, or consider reapplying after 24 hours.
Product transfer onto clothing
Allow the mousse to dry completely before dressing. Wear loose, dark clothing immediately after application and for the first few hours. Rinse off the guide color at the desired time.
Sticky feeling after application
Ensure the product has dried completely before dressing. Avoid applying excessive amounts of mousse. The fast-drying formula should minimize this, but adequate drying time is essential.
Tan fades quickly
Ensure skin was properly prepped (exfoliated, moisturized). Avoid hot baths, long showers, and abrasive soaps after the tan has developed. Moisturize regularly to prolong the tan.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation is Key:
- Exfoliate: Exfoliate your skin thoroughly at least 24 hours before application. Pay extra attention to dry areas like elbows, knees, and ankles.
- Shave/Wax: If shaving or waxing, do so at least 24 hours prior to tanning to allow pores to close.
- Moisturize Dry Areas: Apply a light layer of regular moisturizer to dry patches (knees, elbows, ankles, wrists, and hands) just before application to prevent the tan from absorbing too intensely.
Application:
- Use a tanning mitt for best results. Apply the mousse to the mitt.
- Blend the mousse onto your skin using large circular motions. Ensure even coverage.
- When applying to knees and elbows, bend these joints to avoid creases and ensure a smooth application.
- Allow the guide color to dry completely before dressing in loose, dark clothing.
Rinsing:
- Once you have achieved your desired shade (after 1, 2, or 3 hours), rinse the product off with warm water only. Do not use soap or shower gel immediately after rinsing.
- Pat your skin dry gently with a towel.
Care:
- Store the mousse in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Ensure the cap is tightly closed after use to prevent drying out.
- Avoid long, hot showers or baths, and harsh scrubbing after the tan has developed, as this can accelerate fading.
