Use our exfoliate glove 12-24 hours before you plan on tanning (this helps give time to close your pores - important when tanning) Apply On clean, dry skin, free of lotions or oils. Apply using the Luxe Tanning Mitt. Dry areas such as hands, knees, elbows and feet should be done last, with the remnants of what's left on the mitt - you only need a tiny bit! Apply lotion to these dry areas before you apply. See our video tutorial for more.
The 1 hour and be rinsed off in 1 hour (water rinse) the color will continue to develop over the next 6-8 hours. The longer you leave the tan, the deeper it becomes.
