Full details
The EFFN BEAUTY Deluxe Tanning Serume in Ultra Dark Mocha is designed for individuals seeking a rich, deep, sun-kissed color without the sun. Its key benefit is delivering a radiant, velvety, and streak-free tan with hydrating properties. A potential caveat is that the 'Ultra Dark' shade may be intense for those new to self-tanning. This gel-like serum features hyaluronic acid for skin hydration, a fast dry-down, a non-sticky feel, and an instant color guide for precise application.

FAQs
How long does the tan typically last?
The tan typically lasts between 5-7 days, depending on your skin type and how well you care for it. Regular moisturizing helps to extend its lifespan.
Can I use this on my face?
While designed for the body, it can be used on the face if you are careful to avoid the eye area. Using a lighter hand or a dedicated face tanning product might be preferable for facial application.
How long should I wait before showering after application?
You should wait at least 4-8 hours after application before showering. Rinsing too early can prevent the tan from developing properly.
Will the hyaluronic acid make my skin feel wet?
No, the formula is designed for a fast dry-down. While hyaluronic acid hydrates, it is incorporated into a gel matrix that absorbs quickly, leaving a non-sticky finish.
What is the purpose of the instant color guide?
The instant color guide provides a temporary tint that shows you exactly where you have applied the product, ensuring an even, streak-free application without missing any spots.
Can I layer this product?
Yes, for a deeper color intensity, you can apply a second coat after the first application has dried completely and ideally after the initial development period (usually 4-8 hours).
Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?
The formula includes hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, which can be beneficial. However, a patch test is always recommended for sensitive skin prior to full body application.
Troubleshooting
Uneven or streaky tan
Ensure skin was properly exfoliated and moisturized on dry areas prior to application. Use a tanning mitt for smoother application and blend thoroughly, especially at the extremities.
Tan is too dark or too light
For darker results, consider a second application after 24 hours. For lighter results, ensure a very thin layer was applied, or try exfoliating gently after the tan has fully developed (at least 8 hours post-application).
Product feels sticky
Ensure the product is fully dry before dressing. If stickiness persists, you may have applied too thick a layer. Allow more time to dry or try applying a lighter coat next time.
Color guide is difficult to see
Apply in good lighting. The color guide is designed to aid application, but ensure you are visually checking for full coverage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation:

- Moisturize Dry Areas: Apply a light layer of moisturizer to knees, elbows, ankles, and wrists to prevent over-absorption and ensure an even tan.

Application:
- Use a tanning mitt for best results and to protect your hands.
- Apply in a well-lit room.
- Work in sections, using sweeping motions.
- Blend carefully around wrists, ankles, and hairline.
Care:
- Avoid water, sweating, and strenuous activity for at least 4-8 hours after application while the tan develops.

- Moisturize daily to prolong the tan's life.
- Store the serum in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
