Loving Tan Gradual Tan Lotion — Dark, Buildable Natural-Looking Bronze, Fast-Dry

Loving Tan Deluxe Gradual Tan Lotion in Dark is a professional-strength, buildable self-tanning lotion that delivers a deep, natural-looking bronze with daily use.

This lightweight gradual tanner was designed by Loving Tan to either enhance mousse tans or stand alone as an easy daily bronzing lotion. Formulated to dry quickly, nourish skin, and develop into a rich shade over 24 hours, the Deluxe Gradual Tan Lotion helps you control depth with repeat applications and enjoy a streak-free finish without strong tanning odors.

How quickly will I see colour and how many applications does the bottle provide?

Visible colour appears after the first application and deepens over the next 24 hours. A single 5.07 fl oz bottle is concentrated for multiple uses — most people achieve 7+ full-body applications depending on coverage and reapplication frequency.

• First results within hours, full development up to 24 hours.
• Use daily to build shade or every other day to extend mousse tans.
• Expect around seven full applications for average coverage.

What is the texture and finish—will it feel sticky or transfer onto clothes?

The lotion is formulated to absorb quickly and leave a smooth, non-greasy feel. It dries down so you can dress sooner without heavy residue, while the tint helps ensure even application during blending.

• Fast-drying formula reduces wait time before dressing.
• Shea butter base hydrates skin and improves elasticity.
• Tinted lotion gives an immediate guide colour for uniform application.

Can I use this with other Loving Tan products and how do I apply it?

The Deluxe Gradual Tan Lotion pairs well with Loving Tan mousse to maintain or deepen your mousse tan, and it’s equally effective used on its own to build a dark bronze. Apply with an applicator mitt in circular motions, focusing sparingly on dry spots like hands and knees for the most natural result.

• Works as a mousse extender or standalone gradual tanner.
• Apply with a mitt to prevent uneven patches and stained palms.
• Reapply until desired depth is reached; tan continues to develop up to 24 hours.

Is the formula skin-friendly and what are the key ingredients?

This lotion uses a naturally derived DHA for the tanning effect and includes skin-softening Shea Butter to moisturize and support skin elasticity. It’s cruelty-free and dermatologist tested to help ensure a gentle experience for regular use.

• Contains naturally derived DHA to create gradual colour.
• Shea Butter provides hydration and smoothness.
• Cruelty-free; packaging may vary with the updated design.
