Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Tropic Tan Self-Tanning Mousse last?

Our self-tanning mousse provides a natural-looking tan that typically lasts up to 7 days, depending on your skin type and how well you maintain your tan. For the best results, we recommend moisturizing daily and avoiding exfoliating until you’re ready to reapply.

How do I apply Tropic Tan Self-Tanning Mousse for a streak-free finish?

For a flawless application, start with clean, exfoliated skin. Use our Luxe Velvet Tanning Mitt to apply the mousse in long sweeping motions, starting from your legs and working your way up. Be sure to use sparingly on elbows, knees, and ankles. Allow the tan to develop for 6-8 hours before rinsing off.

Is Tropic Tan Self-Tanning Mousse safe for sensitive skin?

Yes, our mousse is formulated with skin-loving ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid and PENTAVITIN® to provide hydration while you tan. It’s gentle enough for sensitive skin, but we recommend doing a patch test 24 hours before full application to ensure compatibility.

Can I use Tropic Tan Self-Tanning Mousse on my face?

Absolutely! Our self-tanning mousse is safe for use on the face. We suggest using a smaller amount and applying it with a makeup brush or your mitt for even coverage. Don’t forget to blend into your hairline and neck for a seamless look.

How should I prep my skin before using Tropic Tan Self-Tanning Mousse?

For the best results, exfoliate your skin 24 hours before applying the mousse to remove any dead skin cells. Avoid using any oil-based moisturisers right before tanning, as they can create a barrier and lead to uneven application. Instead, lightly moisturise dry areas like elbows and knees before applying the tan.
