The Dove DermaSpa Summer Revived Self Tanning Body Lotion is designed for daily use to gradually build and maintain a sun-kissed glow. For optimal results, ensure your skin is clean and exfoliated before the first application, particularly on drier areas like elbows, knees, and ankles, to prevent uneven color. Apply the lotion evenly to clean, dry skin, just as you would a regular moisturizer. Massage it in thoroughly, using circular motions, until fully absorbed. Pay extra attention to blending around wrists, ankles, and areas where skin naturally creases. Immediately after application, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water to avoid staining your palms. Allow the product to dry completely on your skin before dressing to prevent transfer to clothing. The tan will develop gradually over 2-4 hours. Continue to apply daily until you achieve your desired level of tan, then reduce frequency to 2-3 times a week to maintain your glow. Its moisturizing properties mean your skin will feel hydrated and smooth with each use, complementing the developing tan. This product excels in providing a subtle, buildable tan, making it ideal for those who prefer a more natural progression of color.

Setup 1. "Skin Preparation": Before your first application, gently exfoliate your entire body, focusing on dry areas like elbows, knees, and ankles. This creates a smooth canvas for even tan development. 2. "Patch Test": If you have sensitive skin, perform a patch test 24 hours before full application by applying a small amount to an inconspicuous area. ### Compatibility This lotion is generally compatible with most skin types due to its dermatological care benefits and moisturizing properties. However, individual reactions can vary, so the patch test is always recommended. It is formulated for body use. ### Care 1. "Storage": Store the lotion in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain its efficacy and prevent ingredient degradation. 2. "Lid Security": Ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use to prevent the product from drying out and to maintain hygiene. 3. "Shelf Life": Note the 'period after opening' (PAO) symbol on the packaging, typically an open jar icon with a number (e.g., '12M'), indicating how many months the product is good for after opening.
