Preparation is key
The secret to a flawless and longer-lasting tan is good preparation!Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate!
Remove any built-up tan and dead skin cells before applying your mousse tan for a clean, sleek base for longer-lasting results. We recommend removing any residual tan with the Loving Tan Deluxe Tan Remover and using the Loving Tan Tan Removing & Skin Polishing Glove to exfoliate beforehand.

Step one: Body
After moisturising dry areas, apply your Mousse with your Loving Tan Deluxe Applicator Mitt. Ensure that your entire body is covered evenly with the initial bronzers. This ensures the clear active ingredients (DHA & Erythrulose) are spread evenly over your body to allow a beautiful, even tan to develop. [product_display id="4"]Step two: Face
Apply your Loving Tan Deluxe Face Tan generously to your face using your fingertips or a makeup brush. Ensure to blend the product into your neck and hairline! [product_display id="5"]Step three: Hands
After moisturising, use a fluffy brush to blend tan on your hands and feet. Remove any excess product from nails and palms with a wet wipe immediately after tanning. After 30 minutes, remove the product from your hands and feet with a wet wipe for seamless results.Step four: Gently Rinse
After the set time, shower off the excess topical bronzers until the water runs clear, avoiding soap. The clear active ingredients will take up to 24 hours to fully develop and darken to your results.| 2 HR Express Mousse | 2 hours |
