The longevity of the tan varies depending on skin type, how often you shower, and exfoliation habits, but typically lasts 3-7 days before needing reapplication to maintain color.

This product is primarily formulated for the body. While generally safe, some individuals prefer to use specific facial tanning products. Perform a patch test first if you choose to use it on your face to ensure compatibility and avoid irritation.

The Gatineau Golden Glow Gradual Tan is formulated with specific tanning agents designed to provide a natural, sun-kissed look and is designed to avoid an artificial or orange tint. For best results, apply sparingly to drier areas like elbows and knees, which can sometimes absorb more product.

Ensure skin is thoroughly exfoliated and dry before application. Apply evenly in circular motions, blending well, especially around joints and dry areas. For existing streaks, gently exfoliate the affected area to even out the color and reapply more carefully.

Increase frequency of application (e.g., apply daily). Ensure you're using a sufficient amount of product to cover the skin evenly. Allow adequate time for color development, typically 4-8 hours after application. Consistency is key with gradual tans.

Always wash hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately after applying the product, paying attention to cuticles. Consider using an applicator mitt or gloves for future applications to protect your hands.

Regular hydration of your skin helps maintain an even fade. Exfoliate gently every few days to encourage a more uniform fade as skin cells shed. Reapply product to maintain an even color and extend its longevity.

Ensure you are applying a thin, even layer and allowing sufficient time for the product to fully absorb into the skin before dressing. Fast absorption is a feature, but over-application can lead to stickiness. Allow an extra 10-15 minutes to dry before contact with fabrics.
