When picking your perfect fake tan shade, it’s important to consider your skin tone, undertone, and your desired look.

• Fair skin: Opt for a lighter shade, like a soft, golden glow.
• Medium skin: Go for a bronzed, sun-kissed hue.
• Dark skin: Choose a deep, rich chocolate shade for a flawless finish.

After applying, you can rinse off your tan after just 1 hour for a light glow, but for a deeper, longer-lasting tan, leave it on for up to 8 hours. It’s all about what works best for you, so don’t be afraid to experiment! For a deeper glow, we recommend letting it develop for 6-8 hours.

If you're using an Express tan, you can wash it off anywhere between 30 minutes and 3 hours, depending on your desired shade. The longer you leave it on, the darker your tan will be!

Our tans are both vegan and cruelty-free, meaning they do not contain animal products and have not been tested on animals.

Vegan

• Does not contain animal flesh or by-products.

Cruelty-Free

• Never tested on animals.
• We ensure our manufacturers and suppliers follow the same cruelty-free standards.

Our tans are designed to stay put, and there have been no reports of them transferring onto clothing. However, we recommend applying a light dusting of talcum powder. The powder helps absorb sweat and prevents any tan from transferring off onto your clothes.

Fake tan typically lasts 5–7 days, but the duration can vary depending on how well you care for it!

Preparation
Exfoliating before application and removing any old tan helps ensure your new tan lasts longer.

Aftercare
Moisturising regularly with an oil-free moisturiser will keep your tan looking fresh and extend its life.

Yes, you can use fake tan on your face—many of our customers do! However, we recommend doing a patch test first. 

Apply the product to a small area of your skin, like behind your ear, to ensure there are no reactions. It's best to use a product specifically formulated for the face, as body tans can clog pores or cause irritation.

Tips for applying fake tan to your face:

• Patch test: Always test a new product on a small patch of skin before applying it to your face.
• Moisturise: Apply moisturiser beforehand to hydrate your skin and help prevent tan buildup around lines and wrinkles. You can also use it on sunspots and freckles to keep them from darkening.
• Go light: Start with a small amount and gradually build the colour to your desired shade.
• Blend gently: Use a blending brush or your fingertips to apply the tan in smooth, circular motions.
• Focus on details: Be sure to cover areas like your hairline, jawline, forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin.
• Stay still: Try to keep your face still for a few minutes after application to avoid streaks.

Set with powder: Lightly dust some loose powder on your face to speed up drying and help your tan last longer.

To remove old fake tan and prepare for a fresh glow:

Exfoliate

• Use an exfoliating mitt or scrub to gently buff away the tan, helping to reveal smooth, fresh skin.
• For a deeper exfoliation, mix your favorite exfoliator with a bit of olive oil to help nourish the skin while you remove the old tan.
• Gently massage the mixture onto the areas where you want to remove the tan, making sure to focus on drier spots like elbows, knees, and ankles. This will ensure an even base for your next tan!

For the best results, we recommend using the Tan It Girl ultra-soft, luxurious self-application mitt to apply your tanning mousse. This mitt helps you achieve an even, streak-free tan by effortlessly gliding the product across your skin. It ensures a smooth, flawless finish, giving you the glowing results you’re looking for every time.

Yes, you can go in water with fake tan, but it may fade faster. To prolong the life of your tan, you can wait until it's fully developed, take short swims, and use a moisturising body wash.

• Rinse with fresh water after swimming to wash away chemicals 
• Use a moisturising body wash to replenish moisture 
• Apply moisturiser regularly to maintain your glow 
• Lightly exfoliate your skin in the shower every few days 
• Apply a gradual tanner to top up your tan
