Frequently asked

Common questions.

Mousse vs gel tan remover?

Mousse for full-body application; gel for spot removal. Mousse is easier to apply, gel works better on stubborn patches.

How do I apply tan-remover mousse?

Spread foam over dry skin, leave 5-10 minutes, then shower with warm water and gentle massage.

Will tan remover mousse irritate my skin?

Most well-formulated ones won't. Patch test if you have sensitive skin or eczema.

Can I use tan remover on my face?

Most are body-only. For face, use a gentle exfoliant (mandelic acid) instead.
