Get Ready To Glow: Prepping Your Skin (The Day Before)

When it comes to sunless tanning, skin preparation can make the difference between a good result and a GREAT one! To help your color develop smoothly and evenly, here’s what we recommend: 

Remove Any Unwanted Hair

If you shave or wax, do it at least 24 hours before you plan to apply the Sunless Tanning Mousse.

Freshly shaved skin can be more sensitive and may absorb color unevenly. Give your skin a full day to settle before applying.

Exfoliate Gently

This is the single most important step for a smooth, even glow. The day before you plan to tan, smooth away any dry, flaky skin so the mousse has an even surface to work with. If you have Vibriance Exfoliating Facial Scrub, this is the perfect time to use it.

Hydrate Your Skin

After hair removal and exfoliation, apply a good moisturizer to keep your skin soft and hydrated. The Vibriance Moisturizing Cream and Body Serum are both good choices.

Well-moisturized skin absorbs color more evenly, which means a smoother, more natural-looking glow.

This is especially important for mature skin that tends to be drier. Just be sure not to moisturize on the day you apply the mousse. You'll want clean, dry skin for that!

Application Day: Tips For Even Color

You’ve prepped. Your skin is smooth, hydrated, and ready.  

Now, here’s how you apply the Vibriance Sunless Tanning Mousse: 

Step 1: Start with Clean, Dry Skin

No moisturizer, no body oil, no perfume. If you shower in the morning, make sure your skin is completely dry before applying.

Step 2: Apply the Mousse

Pump the lightweight foam into your hands (or a tanning mitt for the most even coverage) and smooth it on like moisturizer. Work in sections: arms first, then chest and neck, then face, then legs if you’re going full body.

The mousse goes on clear, so there’s no messy tinted guide to worry about. You’ll know where you’ve applied by the feel of the foam on your skin. Wash your palms when you’re done to avoid staining.

Step 3: Let It Dry (About 15 Minutes)

The airy foam absorbs quickly with no sticky or greasy feeling. Once it’s dry, get dressed and go about your day. Wear loose, darker clothing during the development period, just to be safe.

Step 4: Let It Develop (4-6 Hours) 

Your sun-kissed color builds gradually on its own. During this time, don’t sweat, swim, or shower.

Wait at least 8 hours before applying any other skincare products so the color can develop fully without interference. That’s it for the active part. You’re done.

Step 5: Rinse or Don’t, It’s Your Choice

Since the mousse goes on clear, there’s no colored guide to rinse away. Your glow is already developing underneath.

Some people like to do a light rinse after the development period. Others just let it be. Either way works. One application gives you a subtle, natural warmth… a healthy glow that makes you look vibrant and alive.

If you want more color, simply reapply the next day to build deeper. You’re always in complete control of exactly how much glow you want.

Your color will last up to 7 days and fade naturally as your skin renews itself. Here’s how to keep it looking beautiful.

Reapply once a week. 

Five minutes, once a week to refresh your glow. That’s your entire routine.

Moisturize between applications.

This is the key to making your color last longer and fade evenly rather than in patches.  Vibriance Age-Defying Body Serum is ideal for this…  it contains the same Aquaxyl™ hydrating technology as the Tanning Mousse, so it works with your color, not against it.

Apply it to your neck, chest, arms, and legs to keep skin hydrated and glowing between sessions.

Wear sunscreen daily. 

Your new glow does not protect you from the sun… SPF is still essential.

Vibriance Sheer Zinc Sunscreen is the perfect partner.

The lightly tinted formula complements the warmth of your tan beautifully while protecting your skin from the UV damage that caused spots and fine lines in the first place.

Because the whole point of sunless tanning is getting the glow without the damage.

Pro Tips For Best Results

The Dark Spot Trick

If you have dark spots or hyperpigmentation, try this before applying: dab a small amount of moisturizer directly onto those areas.

This creates a gentle barrier that slows absorption so color develops more evenly across your whole complexion.

The overall warmth of the glow actually evens the look of your skin tone, and this simple trick keeps darker areas from absorbing too much color. It makes a real difference.

Already Using Super C Serum?

The Vitamin C in both formulas works together to brighten and even skin tone. Just wait 8 hours after tanning before resuming your Super C Serum routine so the color has time to fully develop.

What About Sensitive Skin?

Vibriance Sunless Tanning Mousse is formulated for light to medium skin tones and suitable for even the most sensitive mature skin.

The gentle dual-tanning system (DHA + Erythrulose) develops color gradually, and the built-in hydration from Aquaxyl™, Hyaluronic Acid, and Shea Butter helps prevent the dryness and irritation that other self-tanners can cause.

If you have any concerns, we recommend doing a small patch test on your inner arm before your first full application.

That's everything you need to know to get started with your Sunless Tanning Mousse.

It really is that simple.

Five minutes to apply.

A few easy habits to maintain your color.

And you're glowing.

We created this mousse because we believe every woman deserves that healthy, radiant, sun-kissed feeling. Not just in her 20s and 30s. In her 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond.

No UV damage. No orange tones. No patchiness.

Just even, natural color on skin that's being nourished while it glows.

We can't wait to hear about your results!

Cheers to Positive Aging,

Vibriance Skincare
