3 steps to summer skin year-round

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to develop?

You will immediately see a subtle healthy glow after applying. The self-tanning body cream was designed to give a natural-looking color and glow rather than intensely tanning your skin right away. You will see more color with each application. Your color will reach it’s peak after 6-8 hours.

How long do I have to wait to shower?

Our tip is to apply the gradual self-tanning body cream in the morning or before bed to allow your tan time to develop & set. Avoid water exposure after application, so no streaking occurs. We recommend waiting 8 hours before showering to give your tan ample time to develop.

How do I prevent transferring onto my clothing and bedding?

After applying the self-tanning body cream wait a full 5-10 minutes before getting dressed or getting into bed so the product has time to dry. This will ensure an even color development and prevent transferring.

What does the Gradual Self-Tanning Body Cream smell like?

Summer Skin in Deep comes in our luxurious Santal scent, which is a warm and musky.

What's the difference between Gradual Self-Tanning Body Cream in Classic and Deep?

Deep has the same hydrating formula as Classic, but will give deeper color results. Deep is ideal for someone with medium to dark skin tones that is looking to enhance their color, glow, & hydration.

What's the difference between Tanning Mousse and the Gradual Self-Tanning Body Cream?

The Tanning Mousse is designed to give a deep & immediate color. The texture & application process is different, as you need to wash off the tanning mousse to reveal your color. The self-tanning body cream does not need to be washed off, as it is a gradual self-tanner that is formulated to be used the same way you would an everyday body cream.

Do I need to apply the Gradual Self-Tanning Body Cream with my hands or do I need a mitt?

This product is best applied with your hands- we find it creates a more even, streak-free result and gives you better control as you blend. Be sure to wash your hands immediately with soap and water after applying.

Deep is the perfect shade!

This lotion is amazing, the perfect tan tone and smells incredible. The lotion itself is smooth, not sticky. Dries quickly and keeps my skin so soft all day. My husband started using it after seeing how tan it made me and is also obsessed with it!

I have converted

I am not a self tanner person because i always feared looking orange, but with spending more time inside I needed some color in my life. I am a believer and will only use this product. The pictures speak for how well it works with just one use.

Not for the super pale

I like this brand and have used their tanning drops on my face before with really good results. For whatever reason, the wording on this packaging led me to believe this lotion would deliver gradual results- it even says you can use it as a moisturizer every day! So, I assumed after the first application, I might barely notice it. Well, this is just like any other tanning lotion and I definitely saw results right away- deep results. Unfortunately for me, I'm very pale and it looks orange and streaky on my legs (partly my own fault since I probably wasn't as careful applying it as I should be). My feet were already quite tan compared to the rest of my legs (since I was sitting outside a lot with pants on), so I avoided my feet thinking the lotion would help my legs blend in with my feet, which as you can see, was a mistake since now my feet look totally pale compared to my legs.Over the following week, I was able to exfoliate it down and make it look more natural, but the immediate results were a bit shocking lol.The package and listing DOES say it gives deep results and is for people with medium to dark skin tone. So make sure you heed this and if you are as white as a ghost, try one of their other products. If you already have a base tone or have naturally darker skin, this probably won't look as orange on you. Just note that you likely WILL see results right away so apply it carefully.The lotion smells much better than most self tanners does- it has a light perfume-y smell rather than a fake tan smell. It's also super moisturizing, which is very nice!

Good color, not super easy to spread evenly

Since this bottle is labeled as a gradual tan, I was really surprised by the amount of color I got after just one application.  I really like the color it gives, but I did find it difficult to spread it evenly.  The lotion goes on clear so it isn't very easy to see where you apply it.  The color doesn't show up immediately either, so you will need to wait a couple hours to see how you did.  I am not an expert on self tan, but I am not really new to it either.  I have used other lotions that go on clear and did a much better job with those than I did with this one!  Not sure why that is; maybe it is just me.  I washed my hands immediately after my first application, and I thought I did a thorough job, but I still had a couple streaks on one hand.  I usually have no problem with this, so maybe I was just having an off day on my first application of this lotion.  I think after washing my hands I may have touched an area that hadn't dried yet without realizing it.  I just recommend you take extra care to keep your hands clean!  I found the lotion to be very moisturizing when I used it.  I can't smell anything now, so I am not sure what this smells like.  My skin is super light, so I really don't need more than two applications of this to get the right color for me.  Even after one application I looked remarkably better.  If I can perfect getting the color even, I will really love this lotion.  I love that it is cruelty free and uses good ingredients.

Don’t be like me 😂😂

Please don’t judge on the pictures 🥲 first time trying a self tanning lotion so pretty rookie application on my legs and feet. If you are super pale/white this product may be too dark unless you are aiming for a fast track to Cheeto mode.Do please read the instructions and don’t go into like me, I did not wash my hands after I smeared my legs with abundant amount of lotion and you can see the result of not washing hands after application, 2 weeks of stained hands which in hindsight gave me really good funny conversations with acquaintance, friends and family. Also, all this cream is “white” or see through when applying so you don’t really know the spots you are missing (focus on my feet missed area) so as I result I got the Dalmatian look that lasted a good few weeks also.Overall this product does what it promise, nice scent too.

Beautiful self-tanning lotion

 This self tanner works great! It goes on very easily, like a medium thickness lotion. It has a perfume smell, nothing crazy but smells nice. The tan developed over about a day and as you can see from the photos turned out pretty good! After a few hours it starts to have that classic self tanner smell. I slept with it on overnight and didn’t have much issues streaking. There were a few splotchy spots. Overall, I’m very happy with this tanner!

Godsend

Previously I used the regular N32, and I loved it but felt like I had to apply it multiple times a week and a bottle didn’t last long. THIS however is a game changer, lasts for a full week (maybe even longer) and I shower every day. Definitely note the application instructions, I usually don’t put it on my feet (but you can sometimes see hit or miss marks) BUT you can see the difference between my normal tone and where the lotion is. Also love the smell! Will be purchasing throughout winter and spring when I can’t be outside too much!

Nice color👍⭐️

Make sure to exfoliate before using any Self Tanning. I always use these Premium Deep Exfoliating Mitt/Glove 2 Pack .I’ve used self-tanning lotions before, so I’m aware of how to apply them correctly. However, the first couple of times, I made a mess. I suggest practicing on just your legs or an area of your body that can be covered with clothing.Using a tanning lotion glove🧤, I apply the lotion lightly to my skin. I purposefully avoid directly applying to my knees and elbows. By going around, I’ve learned that it still blends in. No issues so far. All the self-tanning lotions are pretty much the same to me. The color is nice. I’ve only applied it twice, and it usually takes a few applications before I get to the tone I will maintain.EXPIRATION DATE: NONE!I always check for expiration dates before using, ESPECIALLY with health & beauty products. The expiration date tells me whether a product has been sitting somewhere on a shelf or an idea of when manufactured for distribution. This product does NOT have an expiration date, likely because it is not required.THOROUGHLY SEALED: ✅It is important to me how manufacturers seal & ship their products. This item was THOROUGHLY SEALED, as you can see from the pictures. To me, this means the manufacturer cares about its products.✔️The PRICE for this self tanning lotion is in the usual range. It’s exactly as advertised and works-well.

Wow! Gorgeous light tan!

Excellent light tan self-tanner. I have only done two layers so far and it looks stunning. Natural. I followed the directions and I believe it did make a difference. Exfoliate first, then a moisturizing lotion, then apply the self-tanner. Perhaps the moisturizing lotion is unnecessary because this self-tanner is extremely hydrating. Just a really beautiful cream with no bad smell. Love this stuff!

Love this!!!

Every time I use this I always get compliments of how I look like I just walked off a beach. When I tell them all that it’s sunless they can’t believe it. I love how this doesn’t get in your sheets or clothes and doesn’t streak and love the smell of santal. Love the color this gives you as well. It’s a perfect tan love that it’s gradual too and buildable.

Natural Tan Look without the Damage from the Sun!

Loved how this product gave me a beautiful sun-kissed look to my skin without the harsh damaging rays from the Texas summer sun. A definite must have in your summer skin care "kit." Nothing on the market can compare!

The natural tan, the amazing scent. Wow!

Finally a natural healthy looking tan with a scent I’m obsessed with! Two of my biggest complaints with self tanner solved in the wonderful bottle. Easy application that leaves you also feeling hydrated, and the smell reminds me of being on vacation at an exclusive 5 star resort. Doesn’t stain your clothes or sheets and the tan is natural and long lasting. To say I am obsessed with this bottle is an understatement!
