Frequently Asked Questions

Application & Timing

How long will my self tanner last on my skin?

While everyone's skin is different, your tan 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.

What should I expect in the first 24 hours?

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.

How long should I wait before rinsing off?

We recommend waiting 6–8 hours for full color development. Avoid contact with liquids during development time.

Troubleshooting

What if my tan comes out patchy or uneven?

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.

How do I get a perfect tan on my hands and feet?

Use any remaining product on your applicator for your hands and feet. Bend your fingers into a claw-like position and blend in a circular motion until even. Apply a small amount of lotion afterward for a natural finish.

Shade Selection

How do I choose the right shade for me?

Check the specific shade options listed on this product's page, or take our Find Your Glow quiz to get matched to the right depth of color for your skin tone.

Can I use this on my face?

We recommend using our Glowing Face Mist for facial tanning. The face mist is specifically designed for delicate facial skin.

Formula & Ingredients

Will MAKAI self tanner look fake or orange?

No. Our balanced DHA formula develops into a natural bronze tone rather than an orange or muddy appearance.

Will MAKAI self tanner smell strong or chemical?

No. Our formula features a light, pleasant scent instead of the strong chemical odor commonly associated with self tanners.

Aftercare & Longevity

How long does one bottle last?

Most customers get approximately 8–10 full-body applications, depending on how much product is used each time.

Does self tanner transfer onto clothing?

Our formula is designed to dry quickly and minimize transfer. Allow the product to dry fully before dressing for best results.

Why Choose a Self Tanner for Face?

A face self tanner is specifically designed for the delicate skin on your face and neck. Unlike many body self tanners, facial tanning formulas are lightweight, easy to apply, and formulated to work with your skincare routine. Our Hydrating Face Mist delivers a natural-looking glow while helping maintain hydrated, healthy-looking skin without feeling heavy or greasy. New to self tanning altogether?

Frequently Asked Questions About Face Self Tanner

Using It Correctly

Can I use body self tanner on my face?

While some body self tanners can be used on the face, facial tanning products are specifically formulated for the delicate skin on your face and are often lighter and easier to incorporate into a skincare routine. If you'd rather use one product for everything, our body mist works well for both.

Will face self tanner clog my pores?

Our Hydrating Face Mist is formulated to be lightweight and suitable for regular facial use, helping deliver color without feeling heavy on the skin.

How often should I apply face self tanner?

Application frequency depends on your desired results. Many users apply every few days to maintain a natural-looking glow.

Comparing Your Options

What's the difference between a face self tanner and bronzing drops?

Face self tanners develop color over time, while bronzing drops typically provide immediate cosmetic color that washes off. Self tanners offer longer-lasting results. If you're deciding between formats generally, our mousse vs. lotion vs. cream guide breaks down how each performs.

Is face self tanner good for beginners?

Yes. A face tanning mist is one of the easiest ways to build gradual, natural-looking color while maintaining control over the depth of your results.
