FAQs
How long does the tan last?
The Sunkissed Self Tan Mousse can last for up to 5 days, depending on skin type and aftercare.
Do I need to wash it off?
Yes, after the recommended development time (typically 4-8 hours), rinse the skin with lukewarm water only. Avoid using soap or harsh scrubbing initially.
Can I use this on my face?
While formulated for the body, some users apply it to the face. It's recommended to use a tanning product specifically designed for the face or to use a smaller amount and blend carefully, avoiding the eye area.
How often should I reapply?
Reapplication frequency depends on how long your tan lasts and your desired color intensity. Typically, users reapply every 5-7 days, or as the tan begins to fade.
Will it stain my bedsheets?
There is a risk of transfer onto clothing and bedding, especially before the first rinse. It is advisable to wear dark, loose clothing and use dark bed linen.
What is the development time?
The tan typically needs 4-8 hours to develop fully. Avoid water, sweating, and showering during this period.
Is the 'Dark' shade suitable for all skin tones?
The 'Dark' shade is designed for those who prefer a more pronounced tan. Individuals with very fair skin may find it too intense initially and might prefer a lighter shade or a shorter development time.
Troubleshooting
Streaky or uneven tan
Ensure skin was thoroughly exfoliated and moisturized before application, especially on dry areas. Use a tanning mitt for even distribution and blend carefully. Avoid applying too much product at once.
Tan is too light or not dark enough
Allow the tan to develop for the full recommended time. For a deeper color, a second application may be needed after the first tan has fully developed. Ensure the correct shade (Dark) was selected.
Product transfer onto clothing
Ensure the tan is completely dry before dressing. Wear loose, dark clothing. Wash stained clothing separately according to care instructions.
Orange or brassy tones
This can sometimes occur if the skin is not properly prepped or if the product is left on for too long without development time. Ensure proper exfoliation and follow development time recommendations. Consider using a tan-removing product if necessary.
Tan fades too quickly
Moisturize daily and avoid hot baths, swimming in chlorinated pools, and excessive scrubbing. Ensure skin was properly prepped before application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: For the best and most even tan, thoroughly exfoliate your skin 24 hours before application, paying attention to dry areas like elbows, knees, and ankles. Ensure skin is clean, dry, and free from lotions, deodorants, or perfumes on the day of application.
Application: Shake the can well before use. Dispense a moderate amount of mousse onto a tanning mitt. Apply to the skin using sweeping or circular motions, ensuring even coverage. Bend knees and elbows to avoid dryness in these areas. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately after application to prevent staining.
Drying and Development: Allow the mousse to dry completely on the skin before dressing. It is recommended to wear loose, dark clothing after application. Avoid water, sweating, or strenuous activity for at least 4-8 hours while the tan develops.
Care: To maintain the tan, moisturize your skin daily. Avoid products containing harsh exfoliants or sulfates, as these can accelerate fading. Gently pat skin dry after showering rather than rubbing.
Storage: Store the can upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
