Loving Tan Gradual Tan Lotion Dark — Professional-strength, Quick-dry 5.07 fl oz for Natural-Looking Deep Tan

Loving Tan Deluxe Gradual Tan Lotion in Dark is a professional-strength, lightweight self-tanning lotion designed to build and maintain a natural-looking deep tan without sticky residue.

This salon-inspired lotion works as a standalone gradual tanner or a mousse extender to deepen and prolong your colour. Formulated with naturally derived DHA and a shea butter base, the Deluxe Gradual Tan Lotion gives a tinted instant boost for streak-free application while continuing to develop for up to 24 hours. Packaging has been refreshed but the trusted formula remains the same.

How quickly will I see colour and how long does it develop?

You’ll notice an instant tint on application thanks to the included colour guide, and the self-tan continues to deepen for up to 24 hours after each use. For a full, dark result, daily application will build depth; if you’re extending a mousse tan, apply every other day to maintain and enhance the shade.

• Visible instant tint to guide application
• Colour develops further over 24 hours
• Daily use builds darker shade; alternate days extend mousse

What makes this lotion easy to apply without streaks or stickiness?

The lightweight, quick-drying formula absorbs smoothly and is designed to avoid tackiness, leaving skin moisturised rather than sticky. The tinted finish helps you see where you’ve applied product for even coverage, and using an applicator mitt ensures a flawless blend over elbows, knees and hands.

• Quick-dry formula reduces transfer and stickiness
• Tinted lotion shows where to blend for streak-free results
• Works well with an applicator mitt for even coverage

Can this lotion improve the feel and longevity of my tan?

Yes—the shea butter-based formulation adds moisture and helps maintain skin elasticity, which supports a more even fade. When used as a mousse extender, the Deluxe Gradual Tan Lotion helps stretch the life of your salon-strength tan up to around two weeks when applied every other day.

• Shea butter nourishes and helps skin feel smoother
• Promotes even fading by keeping skin hydrated
• Extends mousse tans when used as directed

How should I use it for the best result?

Apply in circular motions using a tanning mitt and blend thoroughly, paying close attention to dry areas such as hands, feet, knees and elbows. Start with a light amount and layer daily until you reach your desired depth; remove excess from palms immediately to avoid dark spots.

• Use a Deluxe Applicator Mitt for smooth application
• Apply sparingly to dry patches and blend well
• Reapply daily to build, or alternate days to extend mousse
