Do I need to wash my hands after applying?
Yes, it is crucial to wash your hands thoroughly immediately after application to prevent staining of your palms and fingers.

The formula is designed to be self-adjusting and buildable, avoiding a dull orange or patchy appearance. However, even application is key.
How long does it take for the tan to develop?
The tan takes approximately 6 to 8 hours to develop fully.
Can I use this on my face?
Yes, you can use it on your face, but ensure even application and thorough hand washing afterward. Test on a small area first if you have sensitive facial skin.
Troubleshooting
Uneven or patchy tan
Ensure skin is exfoliated and moisturized before application. Apply the product evenly, using a tanning mitt or your hands, and blend thoroughly. Wash hands immediately after application.
Product does not develop color
Ensure you have used the correct number of drops and allowed the full 6-8 hour development time. Reapply if necessary, ensuring even coverage.
Orange or unnatural color
Use fewer drops and ensure even blending. The self-adjusting formula should prevent this, but over-application or uneven distribution can lead to undesirable tones. Try a lighter application or mix with more moisturizer.
Skin irritation
Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Ensure the product is not applied to broken or sensitive skin. Consult a dermatologist if symptoms persist.
