How long should Fair-Cool skin develop Australian Glow Light?

For Fair-Cool skin, we recommend developing Light for 3 hours — anywhere in the 2–4 hour window is safe. Shorter develop reads as a subtle finish, longer develop deepens the colour.

What is the best way to apply Light on Fair-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 Light last on Fair-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.

Why is Light the best Australian Glow shade for Fair-Cool skin?

Light sits in the tonal sweet spot for Fair-Cool skin — the DHA base, depth and develop window align to produce a natural, believable result without the muddiness that comes from mismatched shade choices.
