Self Tanner Body Mousse

Light Medium is best for pink or cool undertones, fair skin, or a subtle everyday glow. Choose this if you burn easily, freckle, or see blue or purple veins on the underside of your wrist.

Dark suits neutral, olive, or warm undertones — or anyone who wants a deeper tan. If you tan easily or your wrist veins look greenish (or are hard to see), Dark is usually your match.

Any of our dye-free formulas can work on any skin tone — the key is matching DHA level and undertone, not going darker than your skin needs.

(Note: For reference, our original self tanner body lotion is the Medium shade. If that worked great for you, Dark is often your best next match.)

The active ingredient in our self tanner is Dihydroxyacetone (DHA, sugar cane-derived), which gives the top layer of the skin a bronzed glow. Non-GMO and overflowing with plant-based goodness. It’s backed up by a carefully selected combination of supporting ingredients, including organic aloe vera leaf juice (for luscious hydration), organic shea butter (for maximum moisturization), and organic pomegranate and cranberry extract (because who doesn’t love a bit of fruitiness in their self tanner?).

We can’t pinpoint the exact number of days – that will vary based on your application method, skin type, and how often you reapply. Many of our customers who have left self tanner reviews report that their tan lasted 5-7 days.

While its smooth + foamy texture easily glides onto the skin, if you feel dry or tacky after application apply lotion to moisturize the skin.

• Step 1 — Prep
  Exfoliate with a loofah, exfoliating pad, or body scrub to remove dead skin cells for an even, longer-lasting result. Apply a light layer of moisturizer to feet, ankles, wrists, and elbows, as these areas absorb product more readily. Allow one to two days after shaving before application.
• Step 2 — Apply
  Pump the mousse onto a mitt or applicator brush. Begin at the legs and work upward in long, sweeping motions. Use a lighter touch on wrists, ankles, knees, and elbows. The mousse sets quickly, so maintain a steady pace for even blending. Wash hands thoroughly if applying without a mitt.
• Step 3 — Develop
  Wait at least one hour before showering, swimming, or exercising. Full color develops within 6–8 hours. For a deeper shade, apply a second coat after approximately one hour.
• Step 4 — Maintain
  Keep skin moisturized daily — hydrated skin holds onto your tan much longer.

Uh-uh, no way. We never use parabens, phthalates, sulfates, artificial fragrances, or any other junk that has no business getting near your skin. And that rule applies to all our products, not just our self tanner. You can find a complete list of ingredients here:

Any self tanner will leave streaks if it’s not used correctly, but with good technique our self tanner is primed to give you an even glow. If you really want great results, our spa-quality self tanner applicator mitts are your best bet.

Absolutely, but if you'd rather, try out our Face Self Tanner—specially formulated for the unique needs of your face. We recommend using a face moisturizer first and then applying the self tanner just as you would a moisturizer. Get all the way to your hairline, your neck and ears too.

Our self tanner can provide great color, but it won’t protect you from the sun as it does not contain SPF ingredients. Make sure to keep up with your sunscreen routine no matter how often you use our tanner.

We sure do! Find out more on our wholesale info page or drop us a line at [email protected] and we'll get you taken care of.

Absolutely. Self tanning is a much safer alternative to spending time in the sun or in tanning beds. Exposure to UVA and UVB radiation can cause premature aging, including age spots, fine lines, wrinkles, freckles, and more. With enough time it can leave your skin looking tough and leathery. And don’t even get us started on the cancer risk… No way around it – self tanning with a Self Tanner is the best way to go.

Our self tanner is filled with natural ingredients that are gentle on sensitive skin. However, with any new product, it’s always a good idea to do a test patch before using it on larger areas. Take a look through our self tanner reviews to find out how other customers with sensitive skin reacted – the response has been overwhelmingly positive.

As often as needed! Keep an eye on your tan, and when it starts to fade go ahead and reapply. Most customers find that their tan lasts about 7 days before fading, but if you notice a difference sooner, there’s no reason not to reapply.

Take the time to apply it right – exfoliate first, be generous with the amount you use, and use a self tanning mitt. We find that we can extend the life of our tan by sticking to warm (not hot) showers and by moisturizing daily.

An orange or overly dark tan usually means too much DHA for your skin tone — not that self tanner "doesn't work" on you. The fix is choosing the right shade and undertone match, then building your color gradually.

Here's how to pick the right formula for you:

Light Medium is best for pink or cool undertones, fair skin, or a subtle everyday glow. Choose this if you burn easily, freckle, or see blue or purple veins on the underside of your wrist.

Dark suits neutral, olive, or warm undertones — or anyone who wants a deeper tan. If you tan easily or your wrist veins look greenish (or are hard to see), Dark is usually your match.

Any of our dye-free formulas can work on any skin tone — the key is matching DHA level and undertone, not going darker than your skin needs.

(Note: For reference, our original self tanner body lotion is the Medium shade. If that worked great for you, Dark is often your best next match.)

When in doubt, start with the lighter shade and add a second application once you know how your skin responds. You can always build — correcting orange is harder than going one step darker next time.

Yes — if you apply with bare hands and don't wash and exfoliate them properly, self tanner can collect on palms, knuckles, and cuticles and look orange.

We recommend applying with a tanning mitt, brush, or gloves for the most even, natural-looking results. If you prefer using your hands, you absolutely can — just make sure you REALLY exfoliate your hands beforehand and wash them thoroughly (including between fingers and around nails) as soon as you're done applying.

Every DHA-based self tanner can develop a characteristic "tanner" scent as the color activates — that's normal. Many brands mask it with heavy synthetic fragrances; we don't.

Our formula uses a gentle, subtle scent instead of loading up on artificial fragrance. You may notice a light DHA aroma while your tan is developing — it typically fades after you rinse off in the shower.

Our Self Tanners are made with DHA (Dihydroxyacetone), a plant-derived sugar made from sugar cane or vegetable glycerin, as the active tanning ingredient. They do not contain synthetic fragrances or dyes. The base notes are coconut oil with top notes of shea butter and vanilla from the natural ingredients in the formula.

Our self tanner gets its color from DHA (Dihydroxyacetone), a naturally derived ingredient from Non-GMO Sugar Cane that is Eco-Cert certified.

DHA reacts with the amino acids on the surface of your skin to create a natural-looking tan — no dyes, no orange cast.

Our formulas are free of parabens, sulfates, artificial dyes, and synthetic fragrances. Over 84% of the Self Tanner Body Lotion is organic.

BOGO does not attach a free copy of each product automatically.

The offer looks at qualifying items in your cart as a group. For every 2 qualifying items, the lowest-priced one is free. If you add several different products, the free items will be whichever qualifying products cost less — not necessarily a second of each SKU.

Example: 2 Self Tanners, an Application Kit, and a Brush. That’s 4 qualifying items, so 2 can be free. Those 2 free items are usually the Kit and Brush, not a second of each tanner.
