FAQs

How often should I apply the Garnier Summer Body Gradual Self-Tan Moisturiser?

Apply daily until you achieve your desired depth of tan. Once your desired shade is reached, you can apply every 2-3 days to maintain your glow.

Can I use this product on my face?

Yes, this formula is suitable for both face and body, allowing for an all-over consistent tan.

How long does it take to see results?

As a gradual self-tanner, results build up over a few applications. You should start to see a subtle, natural bronzed glow developing within 2-3 days of consistent use.

Is this product permanent?

No, the tan from this gradual self-tan moisturiser is not permanent. It will fade naturally over time as your skin exfoliates, typically lasting a few days after you stop applying it.

Will it protect me from the sun?

No, this product does not contain SPF and offers no protection against the sun's harmful UV rays. Always apply a separate sunscreen when exposed to the sun.

Is the formula vegan?

Yes, the Garnier Summer Body Gradual Self-Tan Moisturiser features a vegan formula.

Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?

While the product is designed for general use, if you have particularly sensitive skin, it's always recommended to perform a patch test on a small area of skin 24 hours before full application to check for any reaction.

Troubleshooting

Uneven tan or streaks appear

Ensure you exfoliate thoroughly before the first application. Apply the moisturiser evenly and blend well, especially around knees, elbows, and ankles. Use a tanning mitt for smoother application if desired. Exfoliate affected areas gently to lighten streaks.

Tan is not dark enough after one application

This is a gradual self-tan. For a deeper tan, continue to apply daily until you reach your desired shade. Results typically become noticeable after a few applications.

Product transfers onto clothing

Always allow the moisturiser to fully absorb and dry completely before dressing. This may take several minutes. Opt for darker clothing immediately after application if you are concerned about transfer.

Skin feels sticky after application

Ensure you are applying an appropriate amount and blending it well. The product is fast-absorbing, so applying too much in one area or not blending sufficiently can cause a sticky residue. Make sure your skin is clean and dry before application.
