Application of Safe Tan is quick, easy and fun.  Just have a quick read, and you’ll be a pro from the start.
Correct use of the brush will ensure perfect results.

Preparation
Soak brush for 5 minutes in warm water and allow to dry before use. This is only necessary when the brush is new, and will make application much easier once the foam has expanded and softened.

Shower or bathe with a non-moisturising soap (no need to exfoliate or moisturise first). Safe Tan is a moisturiser and other products on the skin will interfere with the skin’s absorption of the product.

You will need a full length mirror and a damp soapy flannel at the end to check the results (Safe Tan is fully washable during the first hour, and any mistakes can be easily rectified).

Application
The foam brush is separated into two halves by a special plastic divider. This means the product will not soak through to the other side unless it gets too close to the edges of the brush. Use one side of the brush as the WET side & use it like a paintbrush to spread colour over the skin.  It is helpful to mark the handle to note the WET side.

It is important to shake the bottle each time you add more product to the brush (get into the habit of closing the lid each time you use Safe Tan).

Put a small amount of Safe Tan in the center of the brush and start painting – A few drops will fully paint half a leg. Use the wet side of the brush to apply a wide line of color vertically from the ankle to just below the knee.

Paint the colour in firm, side-by-side strokes on the skin until you have used up all the colour in your brush.  Then turn the brush over to the DRY side and stroke down and across to feather and blend the colour until no wetness remains on the skin.  The newly tanned area should be evenly coloured with no streaks or stop/start lines.  You can add a few drops more colour if you find you didn’t put enough on the brush.

Pull the color horizontally in a smooth, slow stroke from wet to dry, over and over until you run out of product. Leave dry spots i.e. ankles, knees, elbows, feet and knuckles until the end.

Before painting dry spots there must be very little color left on the brush. (to check for undiscovered wet pockets push the brush firmly against an already painted area).

After inspecting your work, proceed to the next area of skin to be painted.  Repeat until the whole body or desired area is tanned.


Bend elbows and knees so your skin is stretched tight then lightly pull the dry side of the brush over the unpainted areas moving in the same direction as the lines naturally run.

 


Place a line of color across the back of the hand, below the knuckles (not over the back edge of the knuckles), and blend up the wrist away from the knuckles. Use the dry side to gently buff the fingers and knuckles until they are lightly colored.

 


Put one line of color only on the top of your foot, and blend up the leg away from the toes, sides, ankles and heels. Flex feet to paint ankles with the dry side of the brush, checking first for wet pockets

 


Touch wet brush to forehead, cheeks, nose and chin. Use the dry side of the brush to blend, taking Safe Tan up to the hairline.

 

 

Inspect thoroughly in a full length mirror and make any corrections. Pay close attention to fingers, palms and feet and remove any unwanted color with a wet warm flannel.

Safe Tan is generally dry to the touch within 5 minutes. Allow 10-12 hours before showering.

Safe Tan lasts up to 10 days on the body and 3 days on the face fading gradually, just like a real tan.

Safe Tan does not change the regular tanning effects of the sun.  We recommend the use of a broad-spectrum sunblock to protect the skin from burning.
