FAQs
How often should I apply Tan-Luxe The Gradual?
For a gradual, sun-kissed glow, apply daily in place of your regular body moisturizer. For a deeper tan, continue daily application until your desired color is achieved, then maintain with 2-3 applications per week.
Can I use this product on my face?
Yes, Tan-Luxe The Gradual Illuminating Tan Lotion is suitable for both face and body, allowing you to achieve a consistent glow all over.
How long does the tan last?
The longevity of the tan varies per individual, but with proper skin preparation and daily hydration, you can expect your glow to last approximately 3-5 days before needing reapplication or maintenance.
Do I need to exfoliate before using this lotion?
While the product is designed for easy application, exfoliating 24 hours prior to your first use is highly recommended. This helps to create a smooth, even base for the tan and ensures a more uniform, streak-free result.
Will this product protect me from the sun?
No, this product does not contain SPF and will not protect your skin from sun exposure. Always apply a separate sunscreen if you will be exposed to UV rays.
What should I do if I get too much color in one area?
If you notice an area is too dark, you can gently exfoliate that specific spot or apply a lemon juice and baking soda paste for a few minutes to help lighten it. Regular daily hydration also helps with even fading.
Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?
The formula is designed to be gentle and free from harsh traditional self-tan smells. However, if you have very sensitive skin, it's always recommended to perform a patch test on a small area of skin 24 hours before full application.
Troubleshooting
Tan appears patchy or uneven.
Ensure skin is thoroughly exfoliated before application. Apply sparingly to drier areas like elbows, knees, and ankles, or moisturize them lightly beforehand. Blend the lotion meticulously in circular motions.
No noticeable color development.
Verify that your skin was clean and dry before application. For a deeper tan, ensure consistent daily application. Individual skin chemistry can affect development; allow the full 1-hour minimum for initial results to appear.
Streaks appear on the skin.
Streaks are often caused by uneven application or not blending thoroughly. Ensure you apply the lotion evenly, paying attention to all areas. Wash hands immediately after use to prevent hand streaking.
Tan fades unevenly.
Uneven fading can be due to dry skin. Hydrate your skin daily with a regular moisturizer to prolong the tan's life and ensure a more even fade. Gentle exfoliation every few days can also help.
Product transferred to clothing or bedding.
Always allow the lotion to fully absorb and dry on your skin before dressing or going to bed. This typically takes 5-10 minutes. Wear loose, dark clothing during the development period if concerned.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation & Setup
Exfoliate: For the most even and long-lasting tan, gently exfoliate your skin 24 hours before your first application. This removes dead skin cells and creates a smooth canvas.
Clean & Dry Skin: Ensure your skin is clean and completely dry before applying the lotion. Avoid applying immediately after showering if your skin is still damp.
Moisturize Dry Areas: If you have very dry patches (e.g., elbows, knees, ankles), apply a thin layer of regular moisturizer to these areas before the tanning lotion to prevent over-darkening.
Application & Compatibility
Application: Apply to the face and body in circular motions, much like you would a daily moisturizer. Start with a small amount and blend thoroughly. Remember to wash your hands immediately after use.
Target Audience: The 'Light' formulation is ideal for those with fair to medium skin tones or anyone desiring a subtle, buildable, natural-looking glow.
Facial Use: This product is suitable for use on the face, providing an all-over consistent tan.
Care & Maintenance
Drying Time: Allow the product to fully dry on your skin before dressing, typically 5-10 minutes, to prevent transfer to clothes.
Post-Tan Hydration: Continue to moisturize your skin daily, even after the tan has developed, to prolong its life and ensure an even fade.
Storage: Store the lotion in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain its efficacy. Ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use.
