This is not a self tanner. This bronzer can be applied anywhere that needs an extra hint of sun. Can be easily washed off at night. Apply to clean skin. Put a small amount in your hands, add a dab of face moisturizer or water, and blend onto your face using your fingertips. Wait for it to dry before touching your skin with a towel or clothes. This plant-based formula is made with tumeric (to smooth), sunflower (to protect), and is also paraben-free and phthalate-free. The grooming line scent has the classic freshness of bergamot and lavender edged with the coolness of violet and tonka bean.
