Vino Bronzing Self Tanning Lotion (8oz)

Prep your skin.

Exfoliate gently and make sure your skin is clean and dry.

Moisturize dry areas.

Apply a light moisturizer to ankles, knees, elbows, and wrists to prevent over-darkening.

Use a tanning mitt and a blending brush.

For the smoothest, most even application, use AYU’s Smooth Glow Tanning Mitt.

For precision around knuckles, wrists, fingers, and crease areas, use a soft blending brush to carefully buff product into the skin.

Apply in long, upward strokes.

Work in sections (legs, arms, torso), blending evenly until smooth.

Use less on hands, feet, joints, and face.

Apply sparingly to delicate areas and blend thoroughly.

Perfect the finish.

Use a very slightly damp paper towel to lightly buff elbows, knees, wrists, ankles, and feet to avoid uneven development.

Let your tan develop.

Avoid water, sweating, or friction for 6–8 hours.

Build your color.

Reapply the next day for a richer, deeper tan.

WE WANT YOU TO KNOW: Warning- This product doesn’t contain sunscreens and doesn’t protect against sunburn. UV exposure can lead to skin cancer and premature aging, even if you don't burn. This product is designed for external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes.

Caution: For external use only. Avoid eye contact. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Avoid inhalation and ingestion. Use in a well ventilated area. Keep out of reach of children

1. How long does the color take to develop?

The instant bronzer gives you a glow right away, but your true color develops gradually over 24–48 hours as the DHA reacts with the top layer of your skin. This slow, even development is what helps the final tan look natural and smooth.

2. Can I use it every day?

Daily use is not recommended.

Because this lotion contains a professional-level DHA concentration, your color continues to develop for 24–48 hours after each application. For the most natural result, wait until your tan is fully developed before reapplying. Most users find that applying every 2–3 days maintains a beautiful, even glow.

3. Will it make me orange?

No. The formula is balanced with antioxidants, humectants, and skin-conditioning lipids that support a smoother DHA reaction. This helps prevent dryness, patchiness, and the uneven development that can lead to orange tones.

4. Can I use it on my face?

Yes, but use a very light amount and blend well. Your face may develop color slightly faster due to natural exfoliation, so apply sparingly and build gradually as needed.

5. Does it transfer onto clothing or sheets?

Once fully dry, the bronzer does not smear or transfer. We always recommend wearing loose clothing until the lotion sets to keep the finish smooth while your tan develops.

6. Can I use it to extend a spray tan?

Yes.

Vino Bronzing Lotion is an excellent spray-tan extender. Use it whenever you notice your spray tan beginning to fade or look uneven in certain areas. Gently exfoliate first, then apply a light layer to refresh your color and keep your tan looking smooth, hydrated, and natural.

7. Is it safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. The formula is made with skin-conditioning ingredients like glycerin, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, and Muscadine grape antioxidants. It is free from harsh alcohols and designed to support a comfortable tanning experience. As with any new product, patch test first if you are highly sensitive.

8. How should I prepare my skin before using it?

For best results, exfoliate gently and ensure your skin is dry and clean. Apply a light moisturizer to dry areas such as the ankles, knees, elbows, and wrists. This helps the tan develop more evenly.

9. How long should I avoid water after applying?

Avoid showering, sweating, swimming, or heavy friction for 6–8 hours to allow the tan to fully set and develop.

10. How often should I reapply to maintain my tan?

Most people reapply every 2–3 days to maintain their preferred color depth. This schedule supports a smooth fade and prevents over-darkening.
