the 411 on clear tanning from the ones who made it go viral 😏

clear tanning has been alllllll the craze lately with our b.tanners, and we totally understand the hype (DUH we made them)! you may have seen a few of our viral tiktoks floating around (see here & here just to share a few) sharing our glow your own way clear self tanning gels. this self tanning format is game changing to the tanning industry because it doesn’t transfer and there’s no need to rinse it off. this is the best self tanner for babes looking to glow + go! keep reading to learn the ins and outs of mastering clear self tanning from the creators ourselves and learn what all the hype is about!

how are clear gel tanners different from traditional mousses?

unlike a traditional mousse or foam self tanner, this clear tanner is a gel format and spreads on similarly to a lotion. this results in a super cooling sensation when applying the product and doesn’t require a mitt to tan, making it super easy and fuss free. you can simply apply straight with your hands – just be sure to wash them well with soap and water after application!

also different from traditional mousses, this self tanner is clear and lacking of guide colors. however, due to the gel consistency, it is super easy to tell where you’ve applied the product so you don’t miss any spots on your hot bod. this fake tan’s clear quality also ensures that there is no risk of transfer during the development time, so you can truly apply + glow your own way!

additionally, this clear self tanner does not require you to rinse it off in a particular amount of time like past mousse self tanners because you don’t have to worry about the bronzers going weird! you can leave it on your skin anywhere from 1-8 hours depending on your desired self tan results.

clear tanning best practices 

follow the below tips to get the best b.tan glow your own way clear self tan results, and maybe your results will go viral too 😏

before tanning 

• shave + exfoliate well so the gel doesn’t sit on your dry/dead skin cells. we recommend doing this at least a few hours before applying your self tanner to allow plenty of time for your body to cool down/pores to close before tanning. this helps to make sure that the tan does not get stuck in your pores, resulting in them being darker. 
• apply a small amount of moisturiser to drier areas like hands, feet, knees and elbows. this will help to prevent the tan from sticking to these areas and overdeveloping! 
• ensure you’re well hydrated. self tan lovessssss hydrated skin, so we always recommend moisturizing your skin from the inside out as well! 

during tanning 

• pump onto a mitt or straight on your hands and get to tanning, bestie! you can also use our air brush’d face + body blending brush for your hands, feet & face for an all-over even, flawless tan. 
• a little bit goes a long way. you only need 1-2 pumps of gel per limb or area! any more and there is a larger risk of overdevelopment, resulting in those nasty orange self tan results.
• reallyyyy blend it into your skin. we’re talking rubbing that baby in until it’s dry. this will ensure you get a super even, streak free skin finish! 
• use sparingly on areas such as your hands, feet & face. the skin on these areas is much thinner than the rest of your body, meaning that they will absorb more product and could go darker than preferred. it’s best to only use what’s leftover on your hands/mitt for these areas, or just using a pea sized amount!
• allow the gel to dry fully before putting on clothes to ensure there’s no smudging

after tanning 

• wash your hands with soap and water after application to ensure not too much product is absorbed by them!
• leave on for 1-8 hours depending on your desired self tan results. we suggest 1-2 hours for a lighter tan, 3-5 hours for a medium tan & 6-8 hours for a darker tan. do not leave on past 8 hours or overdevelopment/orange tan results will occur.
• avoid sweating + getting your skin wet while the tan is developing. this can cause uneven/splotchy results. 
• wash tan off after your desired development time, avoiding harsh scrubs or loofahs. 
• moisturize daily to ensure that your tan fades evenly and lasts longer.
• apply a gradual tanner to extend the life of your self tan results. we have mousse, lotion & mist formats available depending on your tanning preference!
