What shade should I use?
We recommend using the shade that is closest to your natural skin tone for the most natural-looking results. If you’re still uncertain, try our Shade Finder to find your perfect match!
How do I get a deeper result from my mousse?
Searching for a deeper, darker tan? Here are three ways to get even darker results.
1. Use your 2 HR Express Mousse and leave it on for 6 – 8 hours.
2. Apply a second layer of mousse 60 seconds after the first.
3. Once developed, use your Deluxe Gradual Tan to enhance your results even further.
Why choose Loving Tan?
Our products are derived from organic, premium ingredients with no nasties. They contain no alcohol, parabens or harsh chemicals so you can take comfort in what you’re putting on your skin.
Is Loving Tan cruelty-free?
Yes! Loving Tan is cruelty-free and never tests on animals. All of our products are derived from natural and organic ingredients.
Can I use Loving Tan when I’m pregnant/breast-feeding?
Loving Tan are derived with no nasties. They contain no alcohol, parabens or hash chemicals and are very gentle on the skin. Self-tanning does not create airborne particles like spray tans, so this does make it the safer option of the two.
We recommend that you check with your doctor or specialist first though as we are not in the position to provide medical advice. We do have many customers who have used our products whilst pregnant or breast-feeding but do recommend that you obtain medical advice in the first instance.
Where can I find a Loving Tan stockist?
We are stocked in all David Jones, Terry White Chemmart Chemists, Malouf Pharmacies and other selected pharmacies.
Will the self-tanner stain my clothing?
We always recommend avoiding contact with light fabrics and furnishing, especially when the tan is developing, to avoid any transferring.
How do I tan my hands and feet?
As Loving Tan products are professional strength, we always recommend applying a generous amount of moisturiser to your hands, wrists, elbows, ankles, and feet immediately prior to tanning.
This acts as a barrier for the tan and will prevent the tan from over developing on these areas. Always apply the tan using an applicator mitt as this protects your hands from staining and provides an even finish. A good tip to achieve perfect hands is to use a very light layer with a make-up sponge or brush for a flawless finish.

What is the difference between the Deluxe Bronzing Mousse and 2 HR Express Mousse?
The only difference between the 2 Hr Express Mousse and the Deluxe Bronzing Mousse is the application time. The Deluxe Bronzing Mousse works best when rinsed off after six to eight hours, while the 2 Hr Express Mousse can be rinsed off in just two hours.
Both mousses will leave your skin with the same bronzed results and last for seven – ten days on your skin.
How do I get flawless results with dry skin?
For people with dry skin, we recommend thoroughly exfoliating prior to application as this process removes all your dry skin cells which in turn ensures the longevity of the tan.
We also suggest drinking plenty of water and moisturising daily after each shower to ensure your skin remains hydrated. Your results should last a full 7-10 days with hydrated skin.
Can I sleep with the tan on?
Yes, you can sleep in your Loving Tan. We would recommend that you wear long sleeved/legged clothing so that any colour transfer does not occur onto your bedding.
Can I swim or exercise with the product on?
Yes, your Deluxe Bronzing Mousse will deliver flawless results that are thoroughly water and sweat proof once the tan is fully developed. Many lifestyle factors can also affect your tan results, so we recommend using our Deluxe Gradual Tan as a tan extender every two to three days or when your tan begins to fade.
What can I do if the shade I purchased is too dark?
It is possible to achieve a lighter result using the dark. Simply rinse off the tan earlier at 4-6 hours (rather than 8 hours). This will prevent the tan development and will give you a lighter shade (I would suggest 4 hours then rinse and you can build from there).
Can I use Loving Tan on sensitive skin?
Loving Tan self-tans are 100% naturally derived with no nasties. They contain no alcohol, no parabens or harsh chemicals and are very gentle on the skin.
However, given your sensitivity issues, we always recommend that you check with your dermatologist or doctor prior to applying any skin care products. Your dermatologist will be best to discuss product types with you including self-tanners.
We also suggest you discuss with your doctor or dermatologist an alternative to self-tan such as is our Loving Tan instant body make-up. Our Deluxe Body Make-Up for example may also be suitable to help you achieve a tan. It offers the benefit of full coverage which conceals veins, scars & stretch marks and has a gorgeous satin finish, perfect for achieving the airbrushed look!
What is the shelf life of Loving Tan products?
Loving Tan tanning products are a very stable solution and have a shelf life of 6-12 months once opened. This is dependent on how it is stored and can last up to 18 months if kept out of direct sunlight and in cool location.
Do the products contain sunscreen / SPF?
None of our Loving Tan products contain sunscreen. Once your tan has fully developed (after 24 hours), we recommend applying a sunscreen to your face and body prior to going out into the sun to prevent skin damage.
