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

For Fair-Warm 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-Warm 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-Warm 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.

Is Light better than the alternatives for Fair-Warm skin?

Light is a strong choice but not the optimal one — try our shade finder for the exact match. That said, this shade will look great if applied correctly with the recommended develop time.

A reliable choice. Reads natural in daylight, holds together for a full week of wear. Not the absolute optimum for your tone, but very close.
