Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: For optimal results, exfoliate the skin thoroughly 24 hours before application to remove dead skin cells and ensure a smooth canvas. Shave or wax at least 24 hours prior. Moisturize dry areas such as elbows, knees, and ankles lightly just before application to prevent over-absorption.
Application: Apply to clean, dry skin using a tanning mitt. Use sweeping motions and blend carefully, especially around wrists, ankles, and hairline. For the face, use sparingly and blend into the hairline. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately after application to avoid staining.
Development: Allow the gel to dry completely before dressing in loose, dark clothing. The tan develops within one hour, after which you can rinse off the guide color with lukewarm water. Avoid using soap or scrubs during the initial rinse.
Care: To prolong the tan, moisturize daily with a hydrating lotion. Avoid long, hot baths, swimming, and exfoliating for the first 24-48 hours after rinsing.
