How to Use
- Shake well before each use, as natural ingredients may separate.
- Apply to clean, dry skin free from makeup, moisturizer, or oils.
- Blend evenly over the face, neck, and décolleté using smooth, circular motions.
- Carefully blend around the hairline and jawline for a seamless finish.
- Wash hands thoroughly after application.
- Allow the tan to develop for 4–5 hours before washing the skin or exposing it to water.
- Reapply every few days or as needed to maintain your desired glow.
During Development
- Keep skin dry while the tan develops.
- Avoid swimming, showering, heavy exercise, or excessive perspiration during the development period.
- Wear loose-fitting, dark clothing if possible.
- Moisturize daily after your tan develops to help extend the life of your glow.
Pro Tips
- Blend carefully around the hairline, ears, and neck for the most natural finish.
- Daily moisturizing helps maintain an even, longer-lasting tan.
- Facial tans naturally fade more quickly than body tans due to regular cleansing and skincare routines.
- If you prefer a deeper color, simply reapply after the first application has fully developed.
- Sunless tanning products do not provide sun protection. Continue to wear sunscreen when spending time outdoors.
