What’s the best way to prep the skin before applying your Cocoa Brown Self Tan?

Achieving a flawless fake tan relies on having soft, well-hydrated skin. To prep, exfoliate thoroughly the day before using our Cocoa Brown Tough Stuff - Body Scrub, paying extra attention to the rough areas like heels, ankles, knees and hands. On tanning day, skip exfoliation and ensure the skin is well moisturised.

What are the key steps for a perfect self-tan application?

Using one of Cocoa Brown by Marissa Carter Self Tan Mitts, apply a generous amount of our Cocoa Brown 1 HOUR Tan – Self Tan Mousse and start at your feet, moving upward.

Apply the tan in circular motions, ensuring even coverage across all areas.

For your hands and feet, I recommend you use a flat head stippling brush to blend the tan seamlessly.

For flawless face application, use our Miracle Mist – Self Tan water. Simply close your eyes, then spritz onto clean, dry skin and blend evenly over face and neck.

Our Cocoa Brown by Marissa Carter 1 HOUR Tan – Self Tan Mousse is available in 3 shades and can be developed for 1 to 6 hours, depending on the depth of the colour you wish to achieve!

What are the best ways to maintain my tan?

Using a daily moisturiser will keep dryness at bay, or you can apply our Cocoa Brown Gentle Bronze – Gradual Self Tan Moisturise, which not only keeps your skin moisturised but also adds a hint of colour. This gives you an even glow that fades perfectly.
