Four steps. No streaks. No regret.
Step 1 — Exfoliate the night before.
This is non-negotiable. Tan water reads every dry patch as a deeper shade.
Step 2 — Dry skin completely.
Wet skin dilutes the formula. Dry skin holds it evenly.
Step 3 — Mist onto a velvet mitt.
Never mist directly onto skin. The mitt distributes the formula evenly.
Step 4 — Long, sweeping motions.
Avoid circles. Sweep in single, confident strokes from ankle upward.
How long to wait.
Four hours minimum. Eight if you want maximum depth.
