How long should Deep-Cool skin develop Australian Glow Medium?

For Deep-Cool skin, we recommend developing Medium for 5 hours — anywhere in the 4–6 hour window is safe. Shorter develop reads as a subtle finish, longer develop deepens the colour.

What is the best way to apply Medium on Deep-Cool skin?

Apply with a tight-seam tanning mitt in long upward strokes, starting at the ankles. Pre-moisturise dry zones — knees, elbows, ankles, wrists — and finish hands and feet with the leftover product on the mitt.

How long does Medium last on Deep-Cool skin?

Four to seven days for most tanners, extendable to ten with a gradual moisturiser applied on day three and day five. Avoid chlorine, hot showers and body retinol while wearing the tan.
