I have never used Loving Tan before. I currently use a tanner which works great- but stains my white clothing and swimsuits. After the tan has developed, does it ever transfer from perspiration or swimming? I can be in very hot temperatures, so sweating is an issue!

Hi Madison,

Thanks for reaching out!

Perspiration will not cause your Loving Tan products to stain your clothing. We do recommend avoiding excessive perspiration and water activities while your tan in developing.

Swimming and perspiration will cause your tan to fade faster than usual so we suggest rinsing off as soon as possible.



As per the warning on our label, we always recommend avoiding contact with light fabrics and furnishings, especially while your tan is developing, to avoid any tan transferring.

I hope this helps. We know you will LOVE our Loving Tan products as much as we do! We are passionate about our brand and we know it’s the most natural tan out there! xx

Can I also use the lotion for the face? Since the body is otherwise very dark in contrast to the face. Rather sensitive skin on the face, so I ask.

Hi Anna,



Thanks for reaching out!

Yes, you can use Loving Tan 2 Hour Express Deluxe Bronzing mousse on your face. We recommend applying a layer of moisturiser first and then a very light layer of self tan on top (the moisturiser acts as a barrier to prevent over development).

We have a lot of customers who use the product on their face but highly recommend rinsing it off earlier than your body as you don’t want your face to be as dark as your body. We also suggest using a make-up sponge to apply.

We have a handy application video on our website which shows how to apply to the face at www.lovingtan.com.

2 Hr Express Dark

Is there a difference in color between the dark mousse after I keep it on for about 8 hours and the 2 hour express in dark if I wear that for about two hours or would you recommend the ultra dark color if I want it the same as the 2 hour express dark?

Hi Kate,

Thank you for your enquiry!

All of our Loving Tan mousses are amazing and are made using the highest quality, naturally derived products.

Both variations of our mousses are very easy to apply and include a topical bronzer to show you where you are spreading the clear, active ingredients.

The difference between the Deluxe Bronzing mousse and the 2 hour Express mousse is simply the wash off time. The 2 hour Express range requires a minimum development time of two hours before you rinse off the excess bronzer. Similarly, the Deluxe range requires a minimum development time of eight hours. Results once developed are the same; with the express product offering the convenience of washing off the bronzer earlier.

All products are water proof once developed and last 7-10 days on the skin. Once the tan has developed and following the washing off of the bronzer, there should be no transfer onto clothing.

For first time customers with fair skin who are not experienced tanners, we always recommend starting with Deluxe Bronzing Mousse in the medium shade. Once you are more confident with our Loving Tan products and seeking a deeper tan, we suggest progressing to the dark shade.

I hope this helps!

Do you have to leave it on for the full 2 hours? I’m nervous it will be too dark so I was think about leaving it on for an hour and then rinsing off

Hi Abby,

Thanks for reaching out!

It is possible to achieve a lighter tan using the 2 hour mousses. Simply rinse off the tan earlier at 1hour (rather than 2 hours).

This will prevent the tan development and will give you a lighter shade.

Then in summer if you require a darker tan, you can leave on for the full 2 hours or apply either an extra or thicker layer.

I hope this helps xx

I just applied to two hour tan and I love my color, I have a dance tonight for my school and I was wondering if I could wear it all night and not wash it off until the next day? I want to stay this color for my dance tonight!!

If you want to stay that color for the dance you should keep it on because it takes like 9-10 hours for it to fully develop after you rinse it off. But you could totally wear it to the dance and it won’t affect how the tan turns out the next day either

Hi Chloe,

Thank you for reaching out.

You can definitely leave the 2HR Express Mousse on longer, it will just deepen the colour of the tan.

We do recommend avoiding excessive perspiration while your tan in developing.

I hope this helps x

Do I have to use the exfoliating mitt and remove all the prior tan each time before reapplying the tan again?

1 answer
Loving Tan
Loving T.Loving Tan

Hey Jennifer! T

hanks so much for reaching out.

It is always best to wash your hair, shave/wax and exfoliate prior to applying Loving Tan products. I would also recommend doing all this at least 8 hours before you apply the tan so that your pores have had time to close.

After you have applied your tan, it is best to wait a day or so before shaving. If you exfoliate after applying the tan, this process will remove it.

Hope this helps x

So I know that you’re supposed to just rinse the first time you shower after tanning but what about the dates to follow can I use soap? Or will this take the tan off?

Hi Jennifer! Thank you so much for reaching out. I would recommend avoiding washing your hair & shaving until your tan has had the full 24 hours to develop. This will ensure a longer lasting, deeper tan.

2 Hr Express

I just purchased the Loving Tan 2 hour Express tanner so I could try it out. I shaved and exfoliated and then after applied lotion to dry spots as the tan said to do and then put on the tanner with the Loving Tan mitt as well. I got the color medium because I am a more fair skin color and after applying the tanner I was so happy with the color and right before rinsing it off at the 2 hour mark I was obsessed with the color. Immediately once I got in the shower just rinsing the tanner off all of it came off. I didn’t use soap or anything else previous but everything came right off and I left it on for recommend time at 2 hours. Since I have already purchased your Loving Tan product and can’t return it since I opened and used it should I try leaving the tan on overnight or purchase a darker color even though I was happy with the medium shade before rinsing it off? I have a cheer competition tomorrow and now I won’t be tan as all the other girls and this was a major fail! Please respond asap I have another comp tomorrow!

Hi Kaylin!

Thanks for the enquiry.

If you have only just showered, you have simply washed off the instant bronzer. The bronzer shows you where you have applied the tan. The active tanning active ingredients are clear and will continue to develop over the next 24 hours.

A tip when showering is to rinse off the bronzer with just water and pat dry gently. I would also recommend avoiding washing your hair & shaving until your tan has had the full 24 hours to develop. This will ensure a longer lasting, deeper tan.

I hope this helps. We know that you will LOVE the Loving Tan products once you get it right.

This product used to work so well for me but now when I use it after exfoliating in the shower it gets my skin instantly dark and I wait about 3 hours and it all comes off in the shower as if I never put it on in the first place. Is it expired? Am I not waiting long enough? Is it just my skin?

If you want an even deeper tan, you can let the mousse develop on your skin for 6-8 hours. :)

Hi Jessica,

Thanks for your enquiry.

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.

I have pale skin and applied the light to medium mouse. I rinsed after 2 hours where a lot of the tan came off in the shower and then went to bed. The tan still isn’t showing the next morning. Did I do something wrong?

If I were you I’d leave it on for a whole night! The tan doesn’t transfer onto the sheets either.

I applied 2hr in dark on very pale skin. Exfoliated alot, only put lotion on hands, elbows knees and feet, applied 2nd coat on face/neck/chest, left on 2hrs and lightly rised. I don't see a difference? Maybe the slightest tint darker. Is this common or is it possible I did it wrong?

This develops over time.
I done mine this morning and washed it off after 2 hours.
There is more colour there.. but will continue to develop!
I’ve tried other tanners and this one is by far the best one I’ve used!
Doesn’t streak and easy to apply xo

Yes it’s possible to wear it on your face. Personally I apply it with a makeupbrush but it’s also possible to apply it with the tanning mitt

I used it on my face bc my face is so pasty in the winter months! It was a little blotchy but i expected that. I mixed the tan with a lotion I normally use, it didnt go on as smooth as applying it to my body, with the mitt, so i may try another method. It dis leave color though and thats all i wanted. Make up will even it out! At least now i dont have to worry about adding a ton of makeup to match the rest od my body.. i used a little bronzer and it looked like i spent a dday in the sun!
