Exfoliating skin removes the top layer of dead skin cells, which allows the tanning product to develop evenly and prevents the tan from looking streaky or blotchy.

Avoid moisturiser and deodorant before application, as these both act as a barrier on the skin, preventing the tan from being fully absorbed.

Due to daily cleansing and skincare, our sunless tanning face water tends to fade fastest, lasting 3-5 days. Our tanning mouse range will typically last around 5 days, but can last as long as 7 days with good maintenance.

Use an oil-free body moisturiser to keep your skin hydrated. Hydrated skin sheds slower, keeping your tan intact.

Sweating before the tan has fully developed can cause the tan to fade unevenly, leading to streaks or patches. The acidity from sweat can also cause a greenish tinge.

We recommend allowing the tan to fully develop before undertaking exercise or being exposed to hot conditions that may lead to excessive sweating.

Yes, if the guide colour (i.e. the colour of the mouse) is not clear, fake tan can stain your clothes and sheets, but this risk is mostly limited to the first 4-8 hours while the tan is developing.

Use a Fussd tanning mitt and self-applicator back mitt for an even, streak-free result.

Our Express tan will leave a light shade after 1-2 hours. For darker shades we recommend leaving the Express tan on for 3-4 hours or applying the Dark tan for 6-8 hours.

After the desired time, wash off using luke warm water only (no soap). The tan will continue to develop over the next 12-24 hours.

If after washing off the tan your colour remains light, don't panic! Our self tanning products continue to develop over the next 12-24 hours. We recommend waiting until the tan has fully developed and applying an additional layer if desired.
