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.

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 slower, controlled development helps the final tan look natural, smooth, and not over-darkened.

2. Can I use it every day?

Daily use is not recommended. Because this lotion contains a professional-level DHA concentration, the tan continues to develop for 24–48 hours after application. For the most balanced result, wait until your current tan is fully developed before reapplying. Most users find applying every 2–3 days maintains a beautiful, even glow.

3. Will it make me orange?

No. The formula contains antioxidants, humectants, and lipid-supportive emollients that help regulate the DHA reaction. This supports smoother development and helps prevent dryness or patchiness that can lead to orange tones.

4. Can I use it on my face?

Yes, but apply sparingly and blend well. The face often develops color slightly faster due to natural exfoliation, so a light application is recommended. Build gradually if needed.

5. Does it transfer onto clothing or sheets?

Once fully dry, the bronzer should not smear or transfer. We recommend wearing loose clothing until the lotion sets to maintain an even finish as the tan develops.

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

Yes. Vino Bronzing Self-Tanning Lotion works beautifully as a spray-tan extender. Use it whenever you notice fading or uneven wear. Gently exfoliate first, then apply a light layer to refresh your tan and keep the color balanced and hydrated.

7. Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. It contains conditioning ingredients such as glycerin, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, and Muscadine grape antioxidants. It is free of harsh alcohols and is designed for comfortable wear. As always, patch test first if you have very sensitive skin.

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

For the most even results, exfoliate gently and ensure your skin is clean and dry before application. Apply a light moisturizer to dry areas, such as the ankles, knees, elbows, and wrists, to avoid over-darkening.

9. How long should I avoid water after applying?

Avoid showering, sweating, swimming, or friction for 6–8 hours to allow the tan to properly set and begin development.

10. How often should I reapply?

Most users reapply every 2–3 days to maintain their preferred depth. This schedule supports a smooth fade and reduces the chance of over-darkening or patchiness.
