Moroccan Mineral® Dark Self-Tanning Lotion
Application Directions
- EXFOLIATE: Use Tropical Enzyme Body Scrub in the shower, or use an exfoliating mitt, to gently remove dead skin cells and gently even out skin’s surface. Rinse thoroughly.
TIP: You can also use SluffWIPES in or out of the shower for express cleansing and exfoliation.
- MOISTURIZE BENDABLE AREAS: This is an essential step to successful self-tanning... apply a generous layer of Caribbean Smoothie Body Cream (or a hydrating lotion) ONLY to dry, bendable areas (knees, elbows, feet, ankles, and hands) and allow it to soak in. Applying a moisturizer to these areas will dilute DHA absorption and help you achieve natural looking results.
- APPLICATION: IMPORTANT - Always wear form fitting latex or non-latex gloves when applying Moroccan Mineral® Dark Self-Tanning Lotion. Gloves help to prevent discoloration of your palms and they make it easier to blend the product into your skin evenly.
Start by dispensing a small amount and smooth evenly over your skin, one section at a time. Start with your legs and feet, working your way up the body. Use light pressure in an overlapping circular motion to evenly blend in the color guide - do not over rub. Your goal is to evenly blend Moroccan Mineral® into your skin using the bronze color as your visual application guide. Don't worry if the color appears slightly streaky, when you shower after 6 hours, a smooth even tan will be revealed.
TIP: Consider using a cosmetic sponge to apply to your face to ensure controlled placement of the product around the hairline, nose and jaw line.
- APPLYING TO BENDABLE AREAS: Apply Moroccan Mineral® sparingly on the areas of your body where you do not want to have excessive color – these would be the areas you applied Moisturizer to: feet, hands, elbows, knees, ankles and toes. Unnaturally dark elbows, ankles, hands and knees are unsightly!
- WHILE YOU ARE DRYING: Allow 10-15 minutes for Moroccan Mineral® to “set” and dry. During this time, you can use a SluffWIPE or a moist wipe to touch up areas that you do not want tanned: do a quick swipe over your toenails, tops of toes, Achilles tendon, finger nails, cuticles, ankles and in-between fingers and toes. Carefully wipe the area between your wrist and the palm of your hand to ensure a seamless blend.
TIP: If you are in a high humidity area, you can also use a blow dryer on a cool setting to help expedite your drying time.
- GETTING DRESSED: After Moroccan Mineral® Dark Self-Tanning Lotion has completely dried, slip into dark loose fitting cotton clothing. You may find it most convenient to apply Moroccan Mineral® in the evening, so once it has dried, you can slip into your comfiest cotton PJ’s and wake up with a beautiful tan.
- TIME UNTIL SHOWER: After application, wait at least 6 hours before showering for best results.
- WHAT TO AVOID FOR 6 HOURS AFTER YOUR APPLICATION:
- Do not exercise or excessively perspire for 6 hours. Always shower off color guide before exercising.
- Do not get wet (swim, shower, bathe, etc.) for at least 6 hours.
- Avoid wearing, or having direct contact with, certain materials such as Lycra, Silk, Leather or Spandex – as it is possible the cosmetic color guide may stain them. Cotton is best – it will not stain.
- Do not wear tight/snug fitting clothing, jewelry, watches, belts, necklaces, etc.
- Do not apply lotions, creams, perfumes or toiletries to the skin until after you shower.
Please Note: Although Moroccan Mineral® provides a beautiful bronze color, it does not provide protection from the sun. It is still important to use a sunscreen with broad-spectrum protection when exposed to sunlight.
