Frequently Asked Questions
No. Our balanced DHA formula is designed to develop into a natural, bronze tone rather than the orange or muddy tint common with high DHA formulas. Because the color builds gradually, you stay in control of how deep your tan goes, whether you're using Medium, Dark, Ultra Dark, or Ultra Plus.
No. Our formula has a light, pleasant scent, not the heavy chemical smell some self tanners are known for. It fades quickly so you're not stuck thinking about the smell after you apply.
While everyone's skin is different, our tanning mousse usually lasts up to 7-10 days with proper skin prep prior to application. Exfoliate your skin at least 4 hours before application and moisturize after your post tanning rinse to ensure a long lasting, even fading tan.
Your tan will continue developing for six to eight hours after application. Avoid water, sweat, and tight clothing during that window. Once you shower off the excess product, your full color will be visible and will continue to settle over the following day.
We recommend waiting 6-8 hours for full color development. Avoid contact with liquids during development time.
This almost always comes down to prep, not the formula. Dry skin, missed exfoliation, or applying over old, fading tan are the most common causes. Exfoliate thoroughly before applying, make sure skin is completely dry, and blend in circular motions for even coverage. If you do notice unevenness, a gentle exfoliating scrub in the shower will help even out the fade and gets you ready for your next application.
Our Self Tanning Mousse has been formulated to offer a fast drying, non tacky, minimal transfer tan. Make sure your tan is completely dry before applying clothing to avoid bronzer rubbing off onto clothing.
Medium is best for fair skin or first-time tanners. Dark is our most popular shade and works well for light to medium skin tones. Ultra Dark and Ultra Plus are designed for those with deeper skin tones or experienced tanners who want a deeper, more dramatic result. All four shades are buildable, so you can layer for more color over time regardless of which one you start with.
Although our Self Tanning Mousse is enriched with clean ingredients, we recommend using our Glowing Face Mist when tanning the face. Our face mist is enriched with gentle ingredients for delicate and sensitive skin. We recommend using our tanning mousse for the rest of the body.
When applying Self Tanning Mousse to your hands and feet, we recommend spreading the remaining product on the mitt to your hands and feet. For best results, bend your fingers into a claw-like position and sweep product in a circular motion until blended evenly. Pro tip: take a small amount of lotion and apply to the hands after application to ensure a streak-free finish.
This really depends on how often you use the product and how much you apply when using it. Our Self Tanning Mousse allows up to 8-10 full-body applications, but can vary depending on the quantity of product that is applied.
