Tan Water Guide: How to Use Sjolie Tanning Water for Face Glow
Tan Water + Tanning Water Guide
Meet Sjolie Tan Water: the clear, bronzer-free tanning water mist for a fresh face glow
If your face fades faster than your body tan, you’re not alone. Tan Water is a lightweight tanning water mist designed for the face, neck, and décolletage. It applies clear, feels refreshing, and builds a soft, natural-looking glow over time—without bronzer transfer.
Clear + bronzer-free
Invisible application that fits busy routines and helps minimize transfer.
Light, buildable color
A gradual glow that you can maintain 2–3x/week or deepen daily.
Skin-loving hydration
Made to support a smooth finish on the face, neck, and décolletage.
Why Tan Water works so well
Tan Water is made for the areas that fade first—especially the face. Instead of fighting patchy fade with heavy bronzers, you can refresh your glow with a clear mist that develops gradually.
More even-looking fade
Keeping skin hydrated helps your color wear more evenly and look smoother longer.
Perfect for maintenance
Use it between appointments to match your face to your body tan.
Easy routine upgrade
Mist, let it absorb, then continue your skincare or makeup once dry.
Pro tip: Because it’s clear, Tan Water is a great pick when you want a glow without the look of cosmetic bronzer sitting in fine lines.
How to use Tan Water
Prep, application, and aftercare that make your glow look flawless
1) Prep (the day before)
- Exfoliate 24 hours before for the smoothest canvas.
- Focus on dry areas around the hairline, jawline, and neck.
- Avoid heavy oils right before applying any self-tan.
2) Apply (morning or night)
- Start with clean, dry skin.
- Mist over the face, neck, and décolletage until saturated.
- Let it absorb fully before dressing or layering more products.
- Use 2–3x/week to maintain or daily to deepen.
Timing: Allow about 8 hours for your color to fully develop.
3) Aftercare (same day + beyond)
- Keep skin hydrated daily to help prevent patchy fade.
- Skip harsh exfoliants until your color has developed.
- When you’re in the sun, use a separate SPF (Tan Water is not sunscreen).
- Want a makeup hack? Once absorbed, use it like a setting spray for extra glow.

Troubleshooting
Fix streaks, patchiness, and “why didn’t it develop?” fast
Problem: Patchy or uneven color
Most common cause: uneven prep or dry patches.
Fix: exfoliate gently 24 hours before, then keep skin hydrated daily. Reapply Tan Water on clean, dry skin for a smoother refresh.
Problem: Streaks near hairline or jaw
Most common cause: oversaturation in one spot or rubbing while wet.
Fix: mist evenly, then let it absorb fully—don’t massage it in. Keep the nozzle moving, and avoid touching the skin until dry.
Problem: Too dark, too fast
Most common cause: applying daily when you only needed maintenance.
Fix: reduce to 2–3x/week. If you need to soften the look, cleanse gently and moisturize well for a more even fade.
Problem: Not developing much color
Most common cause: applying over damp skin, heavy skincare, or not allowing enough time.
Fix: apply to clean, dry skin and give it a full 8 hours. Then decide if you want another application the next day.
Problem: Hands look darker than face
Fix: spray Tan Water onto the Sjolie Applicator Mitt and lightly blend over hands and wrists. Keep palms as product-free as possible.
Problem: “Orange” tone
Reality check: orange results are often tied to skin condition, overdevelopment, or conflicting products.
Fix: simplify your routine, prep evenly, and avoid over-applying. Hydrate daily for a smoother, truer-looking fade.

FAQ
Everything to know about Sjolie Tan Water
We split these FAQs by topic so it’s easy to find what you need.
Usage + Results
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.
Give your tan about 8 hours to fully develop. For best results, avoid water and heavy sweating during that window.
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.
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.
Prep + Aftercare
Exfoliate 24 hours before, then apply Tan Water on clean, dry skin. Avoid heavy oils right before application so the color can develop evenly.
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.
No. Tan Water does not provide sun protection. Always use a separate SPF when you’re outside.
Store it in a cool, dark place. Avoid direct sunlight and high heat to help preserve performance.
Troubleshooting
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.
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.
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.
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.
