Use a loofah, dry brush, exfoliating pad, or body scrub to gently get rid of dead skin cells – our self tanning application kit will give you all the tools you need for a perfect tan. Exfoliating will help make sure your tan lasts longer.
Mousse Up! When you’re ready, apply a thin layer of self tanner mousse evenly over your legs, arms, and torso. Using our tanning mitts can help you get a more even tan, and will prevent colored palms. Always wash your hands immediately after tanning!
Maintain that GLOW! Your skin should reach your desired color within 4-6 hours. If it doesn’t, reapply the following day. We find that reapplying every 4-5 days is best for maintaining color, but do what works best for you. Enjoy your sunny, golden skin!
While it is not certified organic, our natural self tanner is made up of 81% water and certified organic ingredients, the other 19% are naturally derived ingredients and it does not include any toxic or harmful additives.
Great question! We've got the break down for you!
Fair to Medium: For Fair Skin Tones (Cool Undertones)
The Fair to Medium self tanners are perfect for people with pink or cool undertones, fair skin, or those looking for a very subtle tan. Not sure if this is you? You will likely want this formula if you burn easily, freckle, or see blue or purple tinted veins when you look at the underside of your wrist.
Medium to Dark: For Olive Skin Tones (Warm Undertones)
The Medium to Dark self tanners are perfect for people with olive or warm undertones, medium to dark skin. Not sure if this is you? You will likely want this formula if you don’t easily burn or freckle, or if you see green tinted or no color veins when you look at the underside of your wrist.
The active ingredient in our self tanner is DHA, a sugar derivative that gives the top layer of the skin a bronzed glow. Non-GMO and overflowing with plant-based goodness.
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.
There are a lot of things that can mess with your self tanner if you don’t do them first. Painting your nails, coloring your hair, and shaving your legs can all remove the tanner before it has time to do its work, so make sure you get these tasks done beforehand.
…but not too close beforehand. Before I knew how to apply self tanner I didn’t realize that it’s not a great idea to shave right before you use it. I ended up with all of my pores showing up as little orange dots. Not very classy. I definitely recommend waiting several hours after you shave before applying any self tanner.
Self tanner has a way of sinking in to dry skin and creating weird little dark patches. You can make sure you skip this problem by exfoliating your skin before applying self tanner. Use a natural exfoliating scrub to slough off any flakes, paying special attention to your knees, elbows, ankles, and other rough areas. Use a gentle exfoliator to make sure your face is clear as well.
If you start by applying self tanner mousse to your shoulders and torso, you may end up with some weird streaks when you bend over to do your legs. Make sure you get a nice, even tan by starting from the bottom and working up. Remember, our self tanner mousse tends to tan darker than our self tanner lotions. So don't linger as you apply. An even, steady pace is best. And if you get too much or make a mistake, wash off immediately, as this tanner also sets faster than our lotion variety.
Pump a small amount of self tanner (about 1 pump) into a clean hand. If you prefer, you can wear latex gloves or use a tanning application mitt. Work the lotion into your skin using a circular motion. I usually apply tanner to my legs, arms, torso, and face, being careful to avoid sensitive areas like my eyes.
Be especially cautious when applying self tanner to areas where skin tends to be loose and dry. This includes elbows, knees, and the areas around your nose and top lip. The skin in these areas tends to pick up more color than the surrounding skin, making it easy to end up with dark spots.
It is always a good idea to moisturize these types of areas prior to applying self tanner so you get a more even look. It will also help ensure these areas don’t come out darker than everywhere else.
If you decided not to use gloves to apply your self tanner, wash your hands immediately afterwards. This will keep you from ending up with off-color palms. If you end up with streaks or splotches, don’t fear – rub the area with half a lemon then buff it away with a damp towel. It’ll be like it never happened.
You should reach your desired color within six hours. If you don’t, just reapply the following day. I usually end up reapplying every 4-7 days to keep my color consistent, but that number may vary based on what works best for you.
Step Eight: Don’t Forget Sunscreen – Self tanner does not protect against UV radiation. If you plan to spend any time in the sun after using a self tanner, be sure to apply sunscreen.
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 natural 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 natural 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.
