Before the Treatment

Moisturize Key Areas

Apply lotion to your hands, knees, heels, and feet before self-tanning. This prevents excess color and promotes an even, natural-looking tan. Make sure your skin is completely dry and free of sweat to avoid streaks or uneven tanning.

Cover Light Hair to Prevent Staining

Use a shower cap, towel, or other covering to fully protect blonde, gray, or light brown hair from the self-tanner.

Avoid Exfoliation, Shaving, or Waxing 24 Hours Prior

Give your skin time to recover by avoiding exfoliating, shaving, or waxing at least a day before applying the self-tanner.

Cleanse Skin and Remove Makeup for Optimal Application

Start with a clean slate—wash your skin and remove any makeup for smooth, even results.

NORDITAN RECOMMENDS: You might be sensitive to the ingredients, so you should also do a patch test on a sensitive area, such as the inside of your arm, 24 hours before applying the self-tanner to your entire body to be sure that you will not have an allergic reaction to any of the ingredients. Always use shower gel with a skin-friendly PH value of around 5.

During the Treatment

Apply Self-Tanner with Care

Use a tanning mitt, cotton pad, or plastic glove to gently and evenly apply the nordictan self-tanning product to your skin.

Focus on Areas with Wrinkles

Pay special attention to areas with wrinkles, such as around the eyes and neck, to ensure even distribution of the product.

Avoid Applying on Lips

Do not apply the nordictan product to your lips. Instead, use a lip balm or gloss to protect them before starting the treatment.

Protect Light Hair from Staining

Cover blonde, gray, or light brown hair completely with a towel or shower cap to prevent staining during application.

After the Treatment

Be Patient: Full Development Takes Time

Let nordictan self-tanner work its magic by leaving it on your skin for at least 6 hours before rinsing off in the shower or bath. Your tan will fully develop over the next 12 hours after application. To prevent streaks and smudges, avoid getting dressed until the self-tan has completely dried on your skin. Give it time to settle for the best results!

Easy Fix for Color Overlaps

If you notice some excess color appearing around the nose or between the eyebrows, don’t worry! A simple swipe with a moist cotton pad will easily remove any unwanted spots.

Skip the Sweat: Avoid Intense Workouts

For the best tanning results, steer clear of intense workouts right after applying self-tanner. Sweat can diminish the effectiveness of your new glow.

Protect Your Glow: Stay in the Shade

To maintain your gorgeous tan, avoid direct sunlight for the first 12 hours after application. Stay in the shade to protect your skin and enhance your results!

How to Maintain your Tan

Choose the Right Shower Gel

Opt for a gentle shower gel without exfoliating beads or scrubs. This helps maintain your tan and ensures an even glow.

Skip the Soaking: Limit Hot Baths

Avoid long, hot baths that can strip your skin of moisture and fade your tan. Keep your bathing routine short and sweet!

Pat Dry, Don't Rub

After showering or bathing, pat your skin dry with a towel instead of rubbing. This helps preserve your tan and keeps your skin hydrated.

Hydrate for a Radiant Glow

Keep your skin moisturized regularly using after-sun lotion, glycerin lotion, or aloe vera. This not only enhances your tan but also keeps your skin feeling soft and supple.

Enjoy Softer Skin with Each Treatment

With each application of self-tanner, you’ll notice your skin becoming softer and smoother. Embrace the luxurious feel of well-moisturized skin!
