Beauty by Earth Self Tanner Tanning Lotion - Fair to Medium, 7.5oz

A: Hi! Thank you for reaching out! Yes! Here are some helpful self tanner tips! NO heavy soaps, PH Balancers, oil based moisturizers, perfumes, and even exfoliant residue. These act as a skin barrier and can block the tanner from working properly. Always make sure you do your Self Tanner prep before applying! Shower, shave, exfoliate, apply moisturizer & then apply self tanner! Make sure you don't glob it on and do thick layers - thats how you get streaks! - It's not the product. Apply a nice thin layer using circular sweeping motions. Making sure to cover the area. Apply very lightly and blend well on your wrists, ankles, and hands. Always wash hands thoroughly as our tanners are white and go on clear. If the color development, is not much or you want to go darker, you would apply a 2nd layer the next day. Or shade up! If the color development is any sort of orangey - that means the shade is too dark for you and need to shade down. Hope this helps! Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with.

A: Thank you for reaching out! We find that reapplying every 4-7 days is best for maintaining color. It really just depends on the development you are wanting to achieve and maintain. You should be able to get 10-12 full body application from 1 tube/bottle. Hope this helps!

A: Thank you for reaching out! As we are a dye free brand - the active ingredient in our self tanner is DHA, a sugar derivative that gives the top layer of the skin a bronzed glow. Non-GMO and overflowing with plant-based goodness. It works with the bodies natural pigmentation of the outermost skin layer, the strateum corneum to produce a brown color, or tan. It takes about 5-10 min to dry. It takes about 6-8 hours for full development. You would not want to wash it, shower, sweat or go swimming during that timeframe. If you are sweating or whipping with a freshly applied self tanner on during the 6-8 hour development period then some product transfer can happen as the active ingredient is still working. Or if the skin isn't exfoliated prior to application then there could be dead skin cells rubbing off. Most prefer to apply their at night so it fully develops while you sleep. Hope this helps!

A: Hi! You would definitely apply the sunscreen last after you have allowed the self tanner 5-10 minutes to fully absorb into the skin. Hope this helps! Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with.

A: Our is as clean as we can get it; free from sulfates, parabens, phthalates, synthetic dyes, synthetic fragrances, triclosan, petroleum and gluten. It does have a scent from the coconut oil.

A: Yes, you can use this one your face or body! Our face self tanner is formulated for specially for the needs of the face and is non-comedogenic, has a slightly lower amount of DHA, and doesn't contain coconut oil. For skin prone to breakouts, coconut oil can be too heavy, hence our removing it from our face self tanner formula. The face formula also tends to feel a bit lighter than the body tanner. If you have sensitive or acne-prone skin, we highly recommend trying the face self tanner for your face.

A: You most certainly can, but it would not be a good idea! Next time you have an almost empty bottle, (this applies to the mousse form), unscrew the nozzle and have a look inside. Watered down sludge. willstainbad

A: Very good question! Yes, it is safe during pregnancy as the product ingredients are natural - our DHA is derived from Sugar Beets and over 80% organic. We have had many pregnant customers use it without any issues.
 However, we always recommend bringing up any concerns you have to your physician or midwife to check out and give the final okay for you to use.
