How to use
Add 3-5 drops to your favourite moisturiser or serum and mix together well in your hand and apply to your cleansed and dry face and neck. If using on your body, mix well in your hand with your favourite body lotion to apply, again ensuring your skin is completely dry first.
The more drops you add, the deeper your tan, which works with your natural skin tone from paler skin right through to olive and darker skin tones.
Wash hands after application. Tan will develop in 2-3 hours and full colour can take up to 6 hours. Use as often as desired.

FAQs
Can I use the Tanning Drops on the rest of my body?
Yes you can, just mix in as many drops as youβd like with your favourite body moisturiser such as our Hydra-Bod Body Cream, and rub in well. Everyone's body size and shape is different, so it's hard for us to say how many drops you'll need. We recommend starting off with less and building up if you want a darker tan.
Will the tan wash off in the shower?
Naturally Glowing Self-Tan Drops arenβt a wash-off tan. Instead, your tan will slowly wear off over a few days β the exact number of days depends on your cleansing routine, your skin type and your own individual cellular renewal. Generally speaking, the tan will last about 5 days.
Will makeup remover remove my tan?
It will remove a small amount of the tan, but you can keep applying more drops with moisturiser every day to keep a continuous sun-kissed glow. Itβs important to note that physical and chemical exfoliators (including our Vitamin-Rich Sweet Glow Face Scrub and Exfoliating Tonic) will remove the tan at a faster rate.
How long will my tan last?
Generally, it will last about 5 days, but it really depends on a number of things, such as: your exfoliating routine; your skin type; and your individual cellular renewal β the older you are, the longer the cell turnover.

Hi Charlotte, technically you could use the Tan Drops and SPF 30 Face Serum together, however instead we would recommend that you apply the Tan Drops with either a face moisturiser or face serum. As with the SPF 30 itβs important to apply the correct amount (around 2 fingers to cover face, neck & ears) to get the correct coverage. I hope this helps and if you need anything else please let me know, Daisy
