Question 1

How often should I use Tan Water for the best glow?

Accepted Answer

Use Tan Water 2–3 times per week to maintain a natural glow. If you want deeper color, use it daily until you like the shade, then scale back to maintenance.

Question 2

How long does Tan Water take to develop?

Accepted Answer

Give your tan about 8 hours to fully develop. For best results, avoid water and heavy sweating during that window.

Question 3

Can I use Tan Water on hands and feet, too?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For the most natural finish, mist onto the Sjolie Applicator Mitt and lightly blend over hands and feet. Keep palms and soles as product-free as possible.

Question 4

Is this a bronzer-free tanning water? Will it transfer?

Accepted Answer

Tan Water is clear and bronzer-free, so it’s made for an invisible application. Still, always let it absorb fully before dressing or laying on more products.

Question 5

What’s the best prep routine before using Tan Water?

Accepted Answer

Exfoliate 24 hours before, then apply Tan Water on clean, dry skin. Avoid heavy oils right before application so the color can develop evenly.

Question 6

Can I apply skincare, sunscreen, or makeup afterward?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After you mist and the product has absorbed, you can apply sunscreen and makeup. Many clients also love it as a glow-boosting “setting spray” once dry.

Question 7

Does Tan Water contain sunscreen?

Accepted Answer

No. Tan Water does not provide sun protection. Always use a separate SPF when you’re outside.

Question 8

How should I store Tan Water?

Accepted Answer

Store it in a cool, dark place. Avoid direct sunlight and high heat to help preserve performance.

Question 9

Why did my Tan Water look patchy on my chin or jawline?

Accepted Answer

This is usually a prep issue. Dry patches or leftover skincare can cause uneven development. Exfoliate 24 hours before, keep skin hydrated daily, and apply on clean, dry skin.

Question 10

How do I fix streaks if I oversprayed one area?

Accepted Answer

Let the color develop, then focus on even fade: cleanse gently, moisturize daily, and avoid aggressive exfoliation. Next application, keep the mist moving and do not rub while wet.

Question 11

What if my color is darker than I wanted?

Accepted Answer

Scale back to 2–3 times per week. Hydrate daily to support an even fade, and avoid tight friction on the area while the tan is developing.

Question 12

Why didn’t it develop much color at all?

Accepted Answer

If skin was damp, oily, or you didn’t give it enough time, development can be limited. Apply to clean, dry skin and allow a full 8 hours, then reapply the next day if you want more depth.
