FAQ
How long will my tan last?
Skin naturally sheds every few days, so your tan should begin to “fade” after about 5 days.
Can I make my tan last longer?
Yes, there are many steps you can take make the most of your sunless tan. Exfoliating the skin prior to application will reveal a fresh layer of skin prepped for even and optimal absorption. Following up your sunless solution application with the daily use of Moonlit Mermaid’s Tan Extender promotes the longevity and hydration of your rich bronzed color.
I’ve seen spray tans before and the person looked orange!
One of our finest selling points is the natural bronze tone to the skin. It truly looks like you’ve just spent a week on the Caribbean. Moonlit Mermaid’s sunless solution works with your natural skin tone to develop your best bronze color.
Will my skin smell like tanning solution?
Our customers rave that the spray solution has little or no smell at all. Promoting it as one of their favorite features!
Sunless tans are pretty expensive, aren't they?
Our 6oz. spray bottle of sunless solution will do approximately 20 full body applications. That’s about $1.60 per tan.
I have a hot date tonight, can I just apply sunless tanner on my lunch break?
From a time perspective, yes you could have great color by this evening. Please keep in mind that sunless spray solution should only be applied to clean, dry skin (no moisturizer). The body naturally produces oils that will inhibit even, optimal results. So it’s best to apply immediately after cleaning the skin.
If I go swimming will it wash off?
Not under normal conditions, although pool/hot tub chlorine may lighten your color. It’s recommended that you wait 12-24 hours before submerging in water.
Will it stain my clothes undergarments?
Prior to rinsing the temporary cosmetic bronzer, it may. Light-colored garments are not recommended when the temporary layer is in effect as the color may transfer from the skin. Washing immediately will likely remove any discoloration.
Can I still get sunburned even though I’m tan?
Your skin has the appearance of a beautiful golden tan, but it is still as susceptible to burning as it normally would be.
Will it stain my hands?
Yes, the DHA based solution will stain your hands just as will any skin it comes in contact with. It is recommended to wash and dry your hands frequently during application to avoid hand discoloration. You may also choose to apply the sunless solution while wearing powder free rubber gloves.
Can I use it on my face?
Absolutely! Although it is not recommended to spray the solution directly towards your face, rather spray the desired amount into your hands, rubbing it onto the face similar to applying moisturizer. Your face will develop a beautiful healthy glow lasting for days!
Will it fix my tan lines?
Yes the sunless solution works great at blending in tan lines. Applying it to the un-tanned areas only (this may take a few applications over a few days) until the lines have diminished. Then apply it all over for a beautiful even tan.

Moonlit Mermaid Barrier Cream
Prevents extra browning on the knees, elbows, feet and cuticle areas, which absorb more cosmetic bronzer and DHA because of the texture of the skin in those areas.
