FAQs
How long does the tan last?

Can I apply this to my face?
Yes, but be careful around the eyes and mouth. Use sparingly on the face.
How do I prevent streaks?
Exfoliate and moisturize before application. Use a tanning mitt and apply in circular motions, ensuring even coverage. Avoid applying too much product in one area.
