Extended Product Information
FAQs
How long does the immediate shimmer last?
The bronze shimmer is a cosmetic effect designed to provide an instant glow and can be washed off with water. It is not a permanent tan.
How do I achieve a deeper gradual tan?
Apply the lotion evenly over 1-3 applications, allowing the tan to develop between each application. Moisturize daily to help the tan last longer.
Can I use this product on my face?
While the product is dermatologically tested, it is primarily designed for body application. For facial tanning, it is recommended to use products specifically formulated for the face to avoid potential irritation.
How long should I wait before showering after application?
The immediate shimmer can be washed off as desired. For the gradual tan to develop, it is recommended to wait at least 4-8 hours before rinsing with lukewarm water.
Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?
The lotion is dermatologically tested and free from parabens and sulphates, making it generally suitable for many skin types. However, a patch test is always recommended before full application.
Will the shimmer transfer onto my clothes?
Yes, the immediate shimmer may transfer onto clothing before it is washed off. It is recommended to wear loose, dark clothing after application.
How do I remove the gradual tan if I don't like it?
To remove the gradual tan, exfoliate the skin thoroughly with a scrub or exfoliating mitt. Prolonged soaking in a bath may also help fade the color.
Troubleshooting
Uneven patches or streaks
Ensure skin was properly exfoliated and moisturized beforehand. Use a tanning mitt and blend thoroughly in circular motions. Bend joints like knees and elbows during application. For minor streaks, try gently buffing with a damp cloth.
Tan looks too orange or unnatural
This can occur if the product is applied too thickly or not blended well. Ensure even application and consider a lighter application next time. Exfoliation is key to removing any excess.
Product won't dispense
Ensure the pump mechanism is working correctly. Check if the product has been stored improperly. Try rinsing the pump nozzle under warm water.
Shimmer is too visible or not visible enough
The shimmer is a temporary cosmetic effect. For more shimmer, ensure even application. For less, try a very light application or wait for it to fade naturally. Remember it washes off.
