FAQs
How long should I leave the product on before showering?
For optimal development, leave the mousse on for 4 to 8 hours before rinsing.
Is this safe for the face?
While it can be used on the body, it is generally recommended to use a facial-specific tanning product if you have sensitive or acne-prone skin.
Does this product provide sun protection?
No, this product does not contain SPF and will not protect you from UV radiation.
Will the color transfer to my sheets?
Because it is an extra dark mousse, it may transfer during the development phase. Wear loose, dark clothing and consider using dark-colored bedding.
How do I remove the tan completely?
Use a dedicated tan remover or consistent, gentle exfoliation over several days to remove the color.
Can I layer this product for a darker tan?
It is best to apply one even layer first. Once you see the final result, you can decide if a second application is necessary.
Troubleshooting
Streaky finish after application
Use a tanning mitt to buff out any excess product immediately after application and ensure you are using enough mousse to glide over the skin.
Color is too dark on knuckles or feet
Lightly wipe these areas with a damp cloth or a makeup wipe immediately after applying the mousse to remove excess pigment.
Color wears off unevenly
Ensure you are moisturizing your skin daily and avoiding oil-based products, which can break down the DHA prematurely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, start by exfoliating the skin 24 hours prior to application using a non-oil-based scrub. Moisturize dry areas like elbows, wrists, and feet lightly before applying the mousse. Use a high-quality application mitt to protect your palms from staining and ensure an even distribution. After application, wait until the product is completely touch-dry before dressing. To maintain your tan, hydrate your skin daily with a body lotion. When you are ready to remove the tan or start a new application, use a dedicated tan remover or a gentle exfoliant to ensure a blank canvas. Keep the bottle stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the potency of the tanning agents.
