FAQs
How do I prepare my skin for the self-tan mousse?
Exfoliate your skin 24 hours before application and moisturize any dry areas like elbows, knees, and ankles to ensure an even tan.
How long should I wait before dressing after application?
Allow the mousse to dry completely. This typically takes about 5-10 minutes, but it's best to wait until the skin feels dry to the touch to avoid transfer.
How do I wash the product off?
The instant bronzer can be washed off with water after achieving the desired initial color. The developing tan will naturally fade over several days.
Can I use this on my face?
Yes, this mousse is suitable for all skin types and can be used on the face. Apply carefully, avoiding eyebrows and hairline. It's recommended to use a smaller amount on the face.
How long does the tan typically last?
The instant bronzing effect is immediate. The developed tan usually lasts for 3-5 days, gradually fading over time. Exfoliation and moisturizing can help maintain the tan.
What should I do if I get streaks?
If streaks appear, you can try gently exfoliating the area and reapplying a light layer of mousse. Ensure you are blending well with a tanning mitt.
Is the 'Dark Matte' shade suitable for beginners?
The 'Dark Matte' shade provides an intense color. Beginners might prefer to patch-test first or apply a lighter layer to gauge their preferred depth of color.
Troubleshooting
Uneven application or streaks
Ensure skin is exfoliated and moisturized on dry areas (knees, elbows). Use a tanning mitt for application and blend thoroughly. Apply in good lighting.
Product staining clothes or bedding
Allow the mousse to dry completely before dressing. Use dark-colored clothing and bedding after application. Wash hands immediately and thoroughly after use.
Bronzer is too light or too dark
For a lighter tan, apply a thinner layer or use less product. For a darker tan, apply a second coat after the first has dried. Consider patch testing on a small area first.
Difficulty blending mousse
Work in small sections and blend quickly as the mousse dries fast. Ensure the tanning mitt is evenly coated with the product.
