Dr Dennis Gross Glow Pad Self-Tanner for Body, 8 Towelettes — Exfoliating, Streak-Free Hydrating Tan

Dr. Dennis Gross Glow Pad Self-Tanner for Body is a no-mess, exfoliating towelette that builds a natural, streak-free sunless tan while hydrating and refining skin texture.

This single-step self-tanning pad combines gentle chemical exfoliation with an encapsulated DHA formula so you get an even, buildable bronze without the usual mess or streaks. Designed as a generously sized, perfectly dosed towelette, each pad preps skin, deposits color, and leaves skin feeling nourished thanks to vitamin E and phospholipids. The quick-drying solution develops a natural-looking glow in under an hour and fades gradually, making it easy to maintain by repeating application two to three times per week for a deeper result.

How does this product give a natural-looking tan without streaks?

The pads use encapsulated DHA, which releases color evenly as it reacts with the top layer of skin. Because each towelette is pre-saturated with a precisely measured formula and smooths skin first with AHAs and BHAs, color distributes uniformly for a streak-free finish.

• Encapsulated DHA for controlled, gradual color development
• AHAs/BHAs chemically exfoliate to remove uneven texture before tanning
• Generous, single-dose towelettes prevent over-application and streaks

What skin benefits do the exfoliating acids and hydrating ingredients provide?

Alpha- and beta-hydroxy acids refine surface texture so the tan goes on smoother and looks more natural. Meanwhile, vitamin E and phospholipids help support skin hydration and comfort during the development phase, reducing tightness often associated with self-tanners.

• AHAs smooth rough patches and promote even product pickup
• BHAs clear pores and improve overall skin canvas for better color adhesion
• Vitamin E and phospholipids deliver moisture and skin-conditioning benefits

How quickly does color develop and how long does it last?

Color begins to appear in less than an hour and continues to deepen to your chosen intensity with repeat use. The tan fades naturally over about one week, and using the pads two to three times weekly builds or maintains a deeper bronze without heavy layers.

• Initial development: under 1 hour for visible glow
• Buildable: reapply 2–3 times weekly for deeper color
• Fade timeline: typically fades gradually over approximately one week

How do I apply the towelette for best, mess-free results?

Start with clean, dry skin and use one generous pad to wipe the body area in long, even strokes, covering each section once. Allow the product to dry completely before dressing and avoid washing or heavy sweating for a few hours to let the color develop undisturbed.

• Prep: cleanse and dry skin thoroughly for even application
• Application: use long, single-pass strokes; avoid reworking the same spot
• Dry time: let the formula set fully before contact with clothing or water

Who is this for? These Glow Pad self-tanners suit anyone looking for a fuss-free, sunless tan on the body with added skin-smoothing benefits. Ideal for users who prefer controlled, buildable color without the fuss of lotions or sprays, and for those who appreciate a product that also exfoliates and hydrates during application. Not intended as a sunscreen; patch test if you have sensitive skin or are using prescription exfoliants.
