FAQs

How long does it take for the tan to develop?

The color begins to develop within a few hours of application.

Will this product protect me from the sun?

No, this product does not contain sunscreen and will not protect you from UV rays.

How often should I reapply?

You can reapply as needed to maintain your tan or build deeper color; it generally lasts up to a week.

Can I use this on my face?

While it is formulated for the body, it can be used on the face if done carefully; however, perform a patch test first as facial skin is more sensitive.

What should I do if the tan looks too orange?

Ensure you are using a thin, even layer and that you have properly exfoliated prior to application. If it is still too dark, discontinue use and let it fade naturally.

Is this safe for all skin types?

Yes, it is designed for all skin types, though those with sensitive skin should always perform a patch test first.

Troubleshooting

Uneven or streaky color application

Exfoliate the skin more thoroughly before the next application and use a tanning mitt or damp cloth to blend the edges.

Color is too light after one application

This is a buildable formula; reapply daily until your preferred shade of tan is achieved.

Stained palms after application

Wash hands with soap and water immediately after spreading the lotion or consider wearing disposable gloves during application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before initial use, conduct a small patch test on an inconspicuous area of skin to ensure compatibility. For the best application, exfoliate your skin 24 hours prior to use to remove dead skin cells. When applying, use long, sweeping motions to ensure full coverage. Keep the bottles stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the formula. After application, wait until the lotion is completely dry to the touch before wearing tight-fitting clothing. If you notice the color fading after a few days, a gentle scrub can help prepare the skin for a fresh, even re-application.
