How It Works
​
The primary active ingredient is a sugar derivative called DHA which when is sprayed on the top layers of your skin reacts with the amino acid, this creating a colour similar to a UV sun tan. As your skin sheds the tan fades naturally between 5-7 days after application.
Before applying self tanning mousse
Exfoliate your body 24 hours prior to use
Avoid heavy moisturising shower gels
Immediately prior to application, moisturise any dry areas including elbows, knees, ankles and feet
Wax/Shave at least 24 Hours before your applying (Dotting in pores may appear otherwise)
Paint nails and toenails, especially if they are acrylics or similar
For best results, apply using applicator Mitt in long sweeping motions, starting at the ankles and working your way up, for your back, turn the mitt back to front and start applying in the same way. Ensure all areas are covered before lightly gliding any excess tan from the Mitt over your hands and feet.
Wait until touch dry before getting dressed.
Allow 4-8 hours before showering to reveal your developed tan.
To prolong and maintain your tan, moisturise daily, exfoliate regularly and reapply as desired
​
After Care
Pat dry with towel. Do Not Rub
Avoid water on skin whilst tan is developing, Especially rain
Avoid heavy exercise or any perspiration during development
Use a non-oil based moisturiser after tan
Ensure all tan is exfoliated off before next application
