FAQs

How long does the tan last?

The tan typically lasts for 5-7 days, depending on your skin type and aftercare routine. Regular moisturizing can help extend its lifespan.

Can I use this on my face?

While designed for body application, some users may use it on the face. It is recommended to patch test on a small area first and use a significantly smaller amount.

How do I remove the tan if I'm unhappy with it?

To remove or lighten the tan, use a gentle exfoliator or a bath with Epsom salts. Lemon juice or a tanning remover product can also be effective.

Does this product contain SPF?

This product does not contain SPF. It is recommended to use a separate sunscreen for sun protection.

How often should I reapply?

For a gradual tan, reapply every 2-3 days. For maintaining an existing tan, apply as needed, typically once or twice a week.

What is the scent like?

The product has a specific scent associated with self-tanning ingredients. It is advisable to test the scent before widespread use if you are sensitive to fragrances.

Troubleshooting

Streaky or patchy tan

Ensure skin was properly exfoliated and moisturized on dry areas before application. Use a tanning mitt for even distribution and blend thoroughly. If streaks appear, gentle exfoliation after the tan has developed can sometimes help.

Tan is too light/dark

For a lighter tan, use less product or apply less frequently. For a darker tan, apply an additional layer after the initial tan has fully developed (usually after 8-12 hours), or apply more frequently. Exfoliation will also lighten the tan.

Product transfer onto clothing

Allow the product to dry completely before dressing. Wear dark, loose-fitting clothing during the development period. Wash stained clothing according to garment care instructions.

Orange or unnatural color

Ensure even application and proper blending. This shade is designed for a natural look; an unnatural color may indicate uneven application or that the undertone does not suit your skin. Gentle exfoliation can help correct the color.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Before application, ensure skin is clean, dry, and free of any lotions or perfumes. Exfoliate thoroughly 24 hours prior to use. Moisturize dry areas such as elbows, knees, ankles, and wrists to prevent uneven color absorption.

Application: Dispense a small amount of the oil onto a tanning mitt or applicator glove. Apply to the skin in sweeping motions, blending thoroughly. Work in sections and ensure all areas are covered evenly. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately after application to avoid staining palms.

Drying & Development: Allow the oil to dry completely before dressing. It is recommended to wear loose, dark clothing while the tan develops. Avoid water, sweating, or applying other body products for at least 4-8 hours. The tan will continue to develop over the next few hours.

Care: Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the cap tightly closed when not in use. To maintain the tan, use a mild, moisturizing body wash and avoid harsh exfoliants.
