+ Lux Unfiltered Summer Skin Classic Gradual Self Tanner — Santal, Hydrating Buildable Glow for Fair–Medium Skin

This lightweight gradual tanner layers like a lotion to give fair-to-medium skin tones a customizable sunless tan without sun exposure. Formulated with rich emollients and skin-friendly oils, it moisturizes as color develops, drying quickly to avoid transfer and leaving a subtle santal fragrance instead of the typical self-tan odor.

How does this product build a natural tan without looking fake?

The formula deposits tint gradually so you can control intensity by repeating applications over days. Because it develops slowly and blends like a body lotion, color deepens evenly rather than appearing patchy or orange.

• Apply daily to increase depth—stop once desired shade is reached
• Blend with circular motions to eliminate streaks
• Suitable for fair to medium complexions for subtle, realistic color

What skincare benefits will I get from this gradual tanning lotion?

Instead of drying the skin, this tanner uses nourishing butters and oils to leave skin soft and smooth while it develops color. Ingredients like squalane, shea and cocoa butter, and avocado oil help replenish moisture and improve the lotion’s glide and spreadability.

• Hydrating blend reduces flakiness for a more even application
• Light, non-greasy finish that wears well under clothing
• Leaves skin feeling conditioned as color builds

Will it transfer onto clothes or smell strongly?

The Summer Skin Classic formula is designed to dry quickly and minimize transfer, so sheets and outfits stay clean. Instead of harsh self-tan scents, it features a warm santal aroma for a more pleasant application experience.

• Fast-drying texture reduces residue on fabric
• Light santal fragrance masks typical tanning odors
• Free of gluten, parabens, and sulfates for gentle wear

How should I apply and maintain this gradual tanner for best results?

Use it like your regular body lotion: smooth it on evenly and reapply daily until you reach your desired shade, then maintain with less frequent applications. Exfoliate before first use and moisturize dry areas like elbows and knees to prevent uneven buildup.

• Exfoliate and shave prior to first application for a smooth base
• Apply in long, even strokes; wash hands after blending palms and fingers
• Top up every few days to sustain the glow
