Question 1

What makes the Clean Tan different?

Accepted Answer

It's our most minimal formula — no dyes, no added bronzers. Just DHA and skin-safe ingredients that develop into a natural tan.

Question 2

Is it safe during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

DHA is generally considered safe topically, but consult your doctor first. We recommend avoiding spray near the face during pregnancy.

Question 3

Will the color still be noticeable?

Accepted Answer

Yes — since there are no instant bronzers, you won't see color right away, but it fully develops over 8 hours into a natural golden-brown.

Question 4

How long does it last?

Accepted Answer

7–10 days with proper prep and aftercare.

Question 5

Is it good for eczema or reactive skin?

Accepted Answer

Many sensitive-skin clients prefer the Clean Tan. We recommend a patch test and consulting your dermatologist first.

Question 6

Does it smell?

Accepted Answer

Minimal. No added fragrance, so the only scent is the natural DHA development smell, which fades quickly.

Question 7

What prep is needed?

Accepted Answer

Same as all our tans — exfoliate 24–48 hours before, shave 24 hours before, arrive product-free.
