How to Apply? Ensure you properly prepare your skin 24 hours before self-tan application. Exfoliate and moisturise with Sublime Bronze Tan Optimisers for best results. Distribute evenly on to clean skin avoiding eyebrows, hairline and eye area. Use sparingly on the elbows, ankles and knees. Wash hands well with soap after application. Your tan will start to appear in a few hours. Use daily until the desired intensity of colour is achieved, and then use 2-3 times a week to maintain it. Apply a second application for a more intense result. Allow the product to dry before dressing.
