    • Add a subtle glow without a spray tan.
    • Keep tans looking smooth and even tan longer
    • Applies clearly with no bronzer, so there is no transfer or staining
    • Professional-level DHA for gradual, controlled color development
    • Builds a natural, customizable glow with repeat use
    • Helps extend professional spray tan results for up to three extra days
    • Hydration-forward formula supports smoother, more even wear
    • Forgiving application that blends easily and evenly

    What to Expect

    • A light, natural glow begins to develop within about 4 hours
    • Color builds gradually and evenly with continued use
    • Skin remains hydrated and comfortable during wear
    • Tan fades smoothly without harsh patches or dryness
  • 1. Prep Your Skin

    Gently exfoliate before application and ensure skin is clean and fully dry. Apply a light moisturizer to dry areas, such as the ankles, knees, elbows, and wrists, to help prevent over-darkening.

    2. Apply Like a Moisturizer

    Apply evenly to the body using your hands or a tanning mitt. Smooth Glow applies clear, so blend carefully and evenly as you would with a body lotion.

    3. Be Gentle with Delicate Areas

    Use less product on hands, feet, joints, and face. Wash hands thoroughly after application.

    4. Let It Develop

    Avoid water, sweating, or friction for at least 4–5 hours after application. Wear loose clothing until the lotion fully sets.

    5. Build or Maintain

    Reapply every 2–3 days to deepen or maintain your glow. Use as needed to refresh fading areas or extend a professional spray tan.

  • This formula uses professional-level DHA and erythrulose, which react with amino acids in the skin’s outermost layer to create temporary color. Skin hydration and surface condition influence how evenly the tan develops and fades.To support consistent results, the formula includes:

    • humectants to help bind water and maintain hydration
    • emollients to soften and smooth skin texture
    • botanical extracts to support skin comfort

    Well-hydrated skin helps promote a more even glow and a softer fade, making Smooth Glow especially effective as a tan extender.

    • Professional-level DHA + erythrulose for gradual, natural-looking color
    • Hydrating humectants and skin-conditioning emollients
