Store tan upright

*Potential transfer to sheets can be caused by the following:

• Too much product application. A little goes a long way and we recommend trying one coat first and letting it develop overnight to give you a true colour outcome on skin
• Applying moisturiser or oil to your tan layer before going to bed. The tan will hold onto the moisturiser and transfer to sheets. Only apply moisturiser after your first rinse. 
• Oil Transfer: Your skin produces natural oils, and these oils can sometimes carry pigment from your tan onto fabrics. This is more likely to occur if your skin is oily or if you use products that make your skin more oily, as above.
• Sweating in your sleep.

1. What makes PART TIME TAN different from traditional self-tanners?

PART TIME TAN was created to rethink the traditional tanning experience. Unlike conventional self-tanners that rely on a dark cosmetic undercolour, PART TIME TAN develops a natural-looking golden bronze without the unnecessary guide colour that transfers onto clothing and sheets. Its buildable formula allows you to customise your shade, while its lightweight texture and gradual colour development make tanning easier to fit around everyday life. Because getting a tan shouldn't mean putting your day on hold.

2. Will PART TIME TAN transfer onto my clothes or white sheets?

PART TIME TAN is formulated without the heavy cosmetic undercolour commonly found in traditional self-tanners, significantly reducing visible colour transfer onto clothing and bedding. Once completely dry, you can get dressed and continue with your day. However, excessive application, sweating, natural skin oils or applying moisturiser before your first rinse can contribute to transfer. For best results, allow the formula to dry fully and avoid applying other products over your developing tan.

3. How long does PART TIME TAN take to develop, and do I need to shower it off?

PART TIME TAN develops gradually, allowing you to customise the depth of your colour. For a lighter tan, rinse gently with warm water after approximately 3–4 hours. For a medium tan, allow 4–6 hours. For a deeper bronze, apply a second coat after 15 minutes and leave it to develop overnight. Rinsing helps stop further product contact with your skin, although the tanning reaction can continue after rinsing. Your final shade may take up to 24 hours to fully appear.

4. Will PART TIME TAN turn orange or look unnatural?

PART TIME TAN is designed to develop a natural-looking golden colour rather than relying on a dark cosmetic guide colour to create an instant bronze. DHA reacts with amino acids in the outermost layer of your skin to develop your tan, meaning the final result depends on your natural skin tone, skin chemistry and how much product you apply. For the most natural finish, start with one even coat and build your colour gradually.

5. How do I apply PART TIME TAN evenly when there's no guide colour?

Start with clean, exfoliated and completely dry skin. Apply PART TIME TAN onto your tanning mitt and work methodically across your body using long, sweeping and buffing motions. Use the remaining product on your mitt for hands, feet, elbows and knees, where colour can develop more intensely. Allow the formula to dry completely before dressing. The key is even application, not applying more product.

6. Can I build a darker tan with PART TIME TAN?

Absolutely. PART TIME TAN is designed to be buildable, so you're in control of how light or deep your colour develops. For a subtle golden glow, start with one coat. For a deeper bronze, apply a second even coat approximately 15 minutes after the first and allow it to develop overnight. We recommend starting with less product if you're new to self-tanning, as your final colour will vary depending on your skin.

7. How long does PART TIME TAN last, and will it fade evenly?

Your tan gradually fades as your skin naturally sheds its outermost cells, typically over several days. PART TIME TAN is designed to support a more even, patch-free fade without the heavy cosmetic undercolour associated with traditional tanning formulas. To maintain your colour, moisturise daily with ALWAYS Body Moisturiser or AFTER Body Oil once your tan has developed. Allow your previous tan to fade before reapplying to help prevent uneven colour buildup.

8. What's the difference between PART TIME TAN and PART TIME EXPRESS TAN?

Both formulas are designed to deliver a natural-looking golden tan without the unnecessary cosmetic undercolour found in traditional self-tanners. The difference is how quickly you want your colour to develop. PART TIME TAN offers a more gradual tanning experience, with lighter results after approximately 3–4 hours and deeper colour when left overnight. PART TIME EXPRESS TAN is formulated for faster development, making it ideal when you want a golden glow in as little as one hour. Same effortless approach to tanning, different timing.
