FAQ

We’ve got all the answers

  • Will the tan make me look orange?

    No. The solutions contain a proprietary “orange blocker complex” that will help eliminate pulling an orange or yellow undertone as found in many other self-tanners on the market.

  • How long will the tan last?

    The tan should last anywhere from 4 to 9+ days. It will depend on your hormones, skin PH, and how well you follow post-tan care. It will also depend on your level of activity (sports etc.) and how well you take care of the tan.

  • Is your DHA organic?

    This is a common misconception in the sunless industry. There is no such thing as organic DHA. Perfect Glow Sunless uses EcoCert DHA which is the purest form but not organic. You can find their statement regarding this here.

  • How can I make the tan last longer?

    Refrain from bar soaps (especially Dove) and moisturize a minimum of 2x a day and drink a lot of water. Soaps and many body lotions contain SLS and drying alcohols that will strip and fade the tan. Using cheap drugstore products can cause blotching and bad fading.

  • How long should I wait before rinsing off?

    You will see instant color due to the cosmetic bronzer however the actual tan takes 9 - 12 hours to fully develop. With the regular tan option, you cannot sweat or get wet until that time or you risk washing off the spray tan!

    With the rapid tan option, you will rinse in 4 hours but full color still takes 9 - 12 hours to fully develop and color for both will continue to darken over the next 24 hours

  • Allergic Reactions

    The spray tan solution is a cosmetic and as such reactions can occur. The sunless products do have food-based ingredients.
