How To Apply
Step 1: Prep Your Skin
For best results, exfoliate and shave at least 24 hours before application. Ensure skin is clean, dry, and free of lotions, oils, deodorants, and perfumes.
Step 2: Apply Evenly
Using a tanning mitt, apply the mousse in circular motions one section at a time. Blend carefully around hands, feet, elbows, knees, and ankles.
Step 3: Allow Color to Develop
Allow the mousse to develop for 1–8 hours depending on your desired depth of color. Avoid water, sweating, and tight clothing during development.
Step 4: Rinse and Maintain
Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry. Moisturize daily to extend the life of your tan and maintain even fading.

Frequently Asked Questions
Application & Timing
How long will the self tanning mousse last on my skin?
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.
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 tanning mousse?
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?
Spread the remaining product on the mitt to your hands and feet. Bend your fingers into a claw-like position and sweep product in a circular motion until blended evenly. Apply a small amount of lotion afterward for an even finish.
Shade Selection
How do I choose between Medium, Dark, Ultra Dark, and Ultra Plus?
Medium is best for fair skin or first-time tanners. Dark is our most popular shade. Ultra Dark and Ultra Plus are designed for experienced tanners or deeper skin tones seeking a more dramatic result.
Can I use self tanning mousse 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 receive approximately 8–10 full-body applications, depending on how much product is used during each application.
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.
