Follow these tips to help your tan develop beautifully and last as long as possible.

​

RIGHT AFTER YOUR TAN

• Wear loose, dark clothing and avoid anything tight.

• Stay dry until your first rinse: no sweating, working out, swimming or doing dishes.

• Avoid rain and humidity if you can.

• Need to wash your hands? Wash only your palms.

​

YOUR FIRST RINSE

• Your rinse time depends on your solution (rapid or regular). You'll get a text reminder from Sunsette letting you know exactly when to rinse.

• Use lukewarm water only. No soap, scrubbing or shampoo for this first rinse.

• The water may look brown. That's just the cosmetic bronzer rinsing off, not your tan.

• Gently pat dry with a dark towel.

​

MAKING IT LAST (7–10 DAYS)

• Moisturize every morning and night with an oil-free lotion.

• Take short, lukewarm showers. Skip long hot baths, hot tubs and saunas.

• Avoid exfoliating, loofahs, retinol and AHA/BHA products while your tan lasts.

• Always pat dry, never rub.

• Shave gently with a fresh razor and shaving gel.

• Chlorine and salt water fade tans faster, so rinse off right after swimming.

​

WHEN IT STARTS TO FADE

• Gently exfoliate around day 7–10 to even out fading before your next tan.
