NEW! ACTIVE OXYGEN + MOLECULAR HYDROGEN INFUSED CASTOR SEED OIL is the master anti-ager + a workout in a bottle. It is a powerful re-hydrator, reversing cellulite and neutralizing free radicals. It also reduces oxidative stress. Once inside the mitochondria, molecular hydrogen (H2) exerts anti-inflammatory properties and protects cells from harmful agents in addition to acting as an antioxidant.
ORGANIC COCONUT OIL is superb for acne treatment, coconut oil is the source of two of the most powerful anti microbial agents found in any food substances. These are Capric Acid and Lauric Acid, also found in mother’s milk because it keeps the baby protected from infections.
CANADIAN MAPLE SYRUP had a greater enzyme-inhibiting effect compared to several other healthy plant foods such as berries. It contains more than 54 health enhancing compounds, including minerals such as manganese, potassium, zinc, calcium, and skin-healthy vitamins A and B – all of which provide serious doses of anti-cancer and antibacterial properties. The chemical properties of maple syrup attracts and retains the moisture in the air nearby via absorption, drawing water vapor into and beneath the skin’s surface.
ALOE JUICE Aloe vera gel has been used as a healing salve since the ancient Egyptians called it the “plant of immortality” thousands of years ago. The aloe vera plant contains over 75 different nutrients including vitamins, minerals, enzymes, sugars, anthraquinones or phenolic compounds, lignin, saponins, sterols, amino acids and salicylic acid.

shade description + application instructions

 

extra extra light is perfect for very fair skin tones and if you just want to counteract cool blue/green darkness with a warm, golden tone
extra light is the original #1 with zero synthetic tint so it looks like a body cream = extra fair skin with a natural healthy looking tan
light is the original #2 with zero synthetic tint so it looks like a body cream = light skin with a natural healthy looking tan
dark is the original #3 with zero synthetic tint so it looks like a body cream = light medium skin tone with a natural healthy looking tan
extra dark is the original #4 with zero synthetic tint so it looks like a body cream = medium skin tone with a natural healthy looking tan

always store in fridge so that it creates a consistency where you cannot easily apply too much product.

The above is just a suggestion. It is best to start with samples if you have never tried a DHA-free formula before.. Always apply in the morning to dry skin following a shower, the first time following a thorough exfoliation for best results. Applying in the evening will not work. body tan application directions: caramel tan is best applied after a thorough body exfoliation. The generic exfoliating gloves in different colours work best. It is important the skin is dry so wait about half an hour after getting out of the shower. That way, the color will develop smoothly. It does not have an immediate to eight hour tint as most DHA formulas do but the cream is white enough (if methylene blue or carrot oil has not been added) that you can tell when it is applied evenly. If you choose to add carrot seed oil it adds a hint of golden colour (not suggested if you will be wearing white the same day). Your ‘tan’ will take twice as long to develop as a DHA formula and will last longer too. Make sure you start applying it 3-4 days before your event. If you are planning on applying two applications back-to-back, apply it 4 days before your special event. For a consistent tan on the body, apply once a week to maintain colour. To extend the longevity of color, apply a plant based, hydrating moisturizer or raw plant oil daily and remember to apply a natural SPF as this ‘tan-looking colour’ does not protect you from the sun.

Important! Sample + full size application instructions: Synthetic ingredients can deactivate the active tanning agent. Also, avoid hyaluronic acid, waxes, silicones, and dimethicone. If you are using my makeup and skincare, I have avoided any ingredients that would do that except for my purifying night serum. If you are not sure of your makeup ingredients I would try it on a different area than the face and apply it generously. The third detail is that some try to spread the samples a little too thin. I recommend just a couple applications per sample on a small area like the inner lower forearm. So you would split the one sample in half (it doesn’t have to be perfectly equal), first half on the first day of application, the second half two days after the first application and do not stretch it any further. The inside forearm is a good place. Always apply in the morning! It is best to not use water that is really hot as it can dehydrate the skin. It is also a good idea to stay away from the ingredients I have recommended. Also, moisturizing often will help extend the life of your tan.
