Self-Tanning Tips
ALL OF OUR PRODUCTS ARE DESIGNED TO WORK ALONE OR IN CONJUNCTION WITH EACH OTHER.
General Self-Tanning Tips
- Always start with a clean, dry body.
- It can take 2 applications to achieve desired results.
- Moisture Mist®, and On The Glow® are the only recommended products to use right after TanTowel® application, otherwise, it is recommended to wait 3-4 hours before applying moisturizers.
- TanTowel contains no stains or dyes so you will not see any immediate color. The only way any discoloration will appear is if you miss a spot (or if you apply to wet skin), so be thorough in your application.
- IMMEDIATELY after applying, thoroughly wash the palms of your hands.
The PLUS products are formulated to achieve results of a deeper and darker tan.
START OFF WITH A CLEAN, DRY BODY. DO NOT PUT MOISTURIZERS ON THE SKIN FOR AT LEAST 3 HOURS AFTER APPLYING THE TANTOWEL. COLOR WILL START TO APPEAR IN THREE HOURS.
TanTowel® Classic & TanTowel® PLUS
The TanTowel Classic and PLUS products can be used on the face and body. Open foil and remove towelette. Using a circular motion, wipe towelette over area to be tanned, like washing yourself. Continue applying until towelette is dry. It generally takes 2-3 towelettes to cover a body unless using Full Body Classic or Full Body PLUS. WASH HANDS IMMEDIATELY AFTER APPLICATION.
Tantowel works with the proteins in your skin to create a change in color in the surface layer. It is actually your skin that is tan, not just a color on top of it. It will not wash off, though as your skin naturally sheds so does your tan, fading much like a tan from the sun. Anything that accelerates the natural shedding process (ie exfoliating, swimming, etc.) may cause your tan to fade faster.
Tanning Mist
Hold bottle 12 inches away from skin and mist. Blend evenly into skin. For best, most even results apply mist to TanTowel towelette and spread over body.
Be thorough in your application. You cannot go over an area too much, but if you miss an area no color will develop. WASH HANDS IMMEDIATELY AFTER APPLICATION. Dress as soon as skin is dry to the touch. Color will develop over 3-4 hours, and the tan will last 4-7 days. Reapply as necessary.
X-foliator
Our X-foliator towelettes can be used In or out of the shower. There is no granular mess. Remove and unfold towelette. Exfoliate with coarse side, buff with smooth side. No need to rinse after use.
On The Glow® (designed to extend the life of your self-tan)
1. Apply generously to face and body.
2. WASH HANDS IMMEDIATELY AFTER APPLICATION.

Top Ten Self-Tanning Tips
A fool-proof way to avoid the streaking, orange, messy fuss of those “other” self tanning products.
10. Start with clean, dry skin. Use TanTowel’s X-Foliator towelette (in or out of the shower) before you apply our TanTowel self-tanning towelettes.
9. Apply in circular motions from head to toe.
8. Bend your elbows and knees when applying.
7. Do your feet last, when the towel is almost dry and just lightly brush across the top of them to get the most natural look.
6. When tanning your legs, start with the largest part such as your thighs and work your way down to your feet because they will require the least amount of moisture in order to tan.
5. Do not put on any other moisture (lotions, creams or even water) for at least 3 hours while the formula sets…unless it is our On The Glow daily moisturizer.
4. Apply our On The Glow lotion daily. This will moisturize your skin, help set the tan into the epidermis deeper and bring out the tan faster.
3. You can use the Tanning Mist to re-wet the towelette to make it go further.
2. You cannot go over an area too much.
1. Wash your hands immediately after use.
