How to make your tan last longer

Exfoliate

Exfoliate your skin with our Exfoliating Mitt to remove dead skin cells and dry patches. Dry skin can cause the color to adhere unevenly and look patchy.

Moisturize

Apply a nourishing lotion to dry areas before applying your self-tan. Focus especially on hands, elbows, knees, and ankles for a more even result.

Avoid active ingredients

Avoid active ingredients in your skincare for a few days after applying your self-tan, as they can exfoliate away the color. Instead, use a nourishing lotion to keep your skin hydrated and extend your results.

Extend your tan

Extend your tan with our Bronzing Gel, which gradually builds color on the skin. It helps you maintain an even, natural glow for longer.

Questions and answers

No. Our products are designed to give a natural, golden tone — never orange. The shade adapts to your skin tone and develops gradually for an even, natural-looking result.

The result depends on how long the color is left to develop and how many layers you apply. For a light glow, one thin layer is enough, while additional layers create a deeper bronzed tone.

Yes. Our products work on all skin tones and develop gradually for a natural result.

If you're unsure, we recommend starting with Natural Bronze for a more subtle sun-kissed tone.

It depends on which product you're using.

• Bronzing Mousse / Spraytan: rinsed off after the development time
• Bronzing Gel, Bronzing Mist and Glow Drops: are not washed off, the color develops gradually over 24 hours.

For best results:

• Exfoliate the skin the day before
• Apply to clean, dry skin
• Use an application mitt
• Work the product in using circular motions

The color usually lasts 5–7 days, depending on skin type, skincare routine and how well the skin has been prepped before application.

Complete ingredient lists can be found on each product page.

Our spray tan solutions and Bronzing Mousse contain a so-called color guard, which makes it easier to see where the product is applied.

The product is quick-drying, but may transfer slightly immediately after application and before you have rinsed off the excess color.

After the first shower, the color should normally not transfer to clothes or bedding.

Any stains usually wash out at 30°.
