FAQs

How long does the tan last?

The tan typically lasts for 4-7 days, depending on your skin type and how well you moisturize and care for it.

Can I use this on my face?

Yes, the mousse can be used on the face, but it's recommended to use a tanning mitt or gloves for application and to blend carefully. Some users prefer a product specifically formulated for the face.

How often should I reapply?

You can reapply every 4-7 days, or as needed, to maintain your desired shade. Ensure you exfoliate before each reapplication.

What is the scent like?

The mousse has a scent typical of self-tanning products, which may be noticeable during the development time. It usually fades after rinsing.

Do I need to use a tanning mitt?

While not strictly mandatory, using a tanning mitt is highly recommended to ensure an even, streak-free application and to prevent staining your hands.

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

You can use an exfoliating scrub or a tan remover product. Soaking in a warm bath can also help loosen the tan for easier removal.

Troubleshooting

Streaky or uneven tan

Ensure skin is properly exfoliated and moisturized on dry areas before application. Use a tanning mitt for even distribution and blend carefully, especially around joints. Reapplication on lighter areas after the initial tan has developed can help even out the color.

Tan is too light or too dark

Adjust the development time. For a lighter tan, rinse sooner (around 1 hour). For a deeper tan, leave the mousse on for the full 3-4 hours. Multiple applications can also build color gradually.

Mousse not dispensing properly

Ensure the can is shaken thoroughly before use. Check that the nozzle is clear. If clogged, try gently cleaning it with warm water.

Orange hue

This can sometimes occur if the tan is left on for too long or if the skin was not properly prepared. Ensure exfoliation is thorough. For future applications, try a shorter development time or consider a different shade if available.

Pros and Cons

  • Suitable for those who want a fast tanning solution.

Cons

  • Requires careful application to ensure an even finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Exfoliate and moisturize dry areas (knees, elbows, ankles) before application. Ensure skin is clean and dry.

Application: Shake the mousse well. Apply evenly using a tanning mitt, working in sweeping motions. Start from the feet and work your way up, ensuring full coverage.

Development: Allow the mousse to dry completely before dressing. Wear loose, dark clothing. Follow the time-activated development guide (1 hour for light, 2-3 for medium, 3-4 for dark).

Rinsing: Rinse off with lukewarm water only (no soap initially) once the desired shade is reached. Pat skin dry.

Care: To maintain the tan, moisturize daily and avoid long, hot baths or harsh scrubbing. Store the mousse in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
