Frequently asked
Common questions.
Will tan eraser remove all my tan in one go?
Mostly yes for fresh tan; partially for old patchy tan. Plan two applications for stubborn build-up.
Will tan eraser irritate my skin?
Most well-formulated ones won't. Avoid harsh chemical exfoliants if you have sensitive skin.
How often can I use tan eraser?
Once weekly maximum. More frequent use strips skin and triggers compensatory dryness.
Tan eraser vs body scrub?
Different jobs. Eraser is chemical removal; scrub is physical exfoliation. Eraser works better on patchy old tan.
