For the best results, start by exfoliating your skin 24 hours before application. When it’s time to tan, moisturize only the driest areas, such as elbows and knees. Dispense the desired amount of mousse onto your applicator mitt and apply in circular motions, working from the bottom up. Take extra care around joints and delicate areas, as they tend to absorb more product. Wash your hands thoroughly after use to avoid discoloration on your palms. Let the tan develop for 3-6 hours—no rinsing is required.
