Frequently Asked Questions
How natural will the colour look?
We match depth and undertone to your skin for believable results. The melt technique softens edges at wrists, ankles, and neckline for a seamless finish.
What should I do before my tan?
Exfoliate and, if needed, shave 24 hours before. Arrive with clean, product-free skin and wear loose, dark clothing.
How long will the tan last?
With good aftercare, results typically last 5 to 7 days. Daily moisturising and gentle cleansing help extend wear.
Will it transfer onto clothes or sheets?
Some cosmetic bronzer may transfer while the tan develops. Choose dark, loose fabrics and sleep in older bedding on the first night.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
