FAQs
How do I ensure a streak-free tan?
Exfoliate your skin 24 hours before application. Apply the serum evenly using a tanning glove and blend in circular motions. Ensure all areas are covered thoroughly before the product starts to dry.
What does 'color adaptive' mean?
The formula contains intelligent ingredients that adjust their shade to complement your natural skin tone, creating a more believable and personalized tan.
Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the serum is dermatologically approved and formulated with skin-soothing ingredients like aai berry oil and avocado oil, making it suitable for eczema-prone skin.
How long does the tan take to develop?
The tan develops over 6 to 8 hours. After application, allow this time to pass before showering to reveal your final color.
Does it smell like a typical self-tanner?
No, this serum has a pleasant blueberry scent, which helps to mask the common self-tanning odor.
Can I use this on my face?
While the formula is rich and nourishing, it is designed for body application. For facial tanning, it's recommended to use products specifically formulated for the face to avoid potential breakouts or irritation.
What is PENTAVITIN?
PENTAVITIN is a moisturizer that binds to the skin, helping to retain moisture and improve skin hydration, contributing to a longer-lasting and more comfortable tan.
Troubleshooting
Uneven tan application or streaks
Ensure skin is well-exfoliated 24 hours prior to application. Use an even amount of product on your tanning glove and blend thoroughly in circular motions. Avoid applying to dry, patchy areas.
Product not dispensing
Ensure the pump seal has been broken by pressing down firmly. If the pump is blocked, try gently cleaning the nozzle with a damp cloth.
Tan appears too dark or not dark enough
This serum is color-adaptive; allow the full development time (6-8 hours) to see the final shade. For future applications, consider the initial amount applied or prep the skin differently.
Skin feels dry after tanning
While the serum is hydrating, moisturize your skin daily after showering to maintain the tan's longevity and skin's suppleness.
