Use circular motions with the mitt to buff tan into skin. Use a flat head stippling makeup brush (Cocoa Brown T1 Contouring Brush) to apply tan to hands and feet. Wait 1, 2 or 3 hours depending on how deep you like your tan and then gently rinse mousse off in the shower. Wear loose, dark clothing while you are waiting to shower as product may transfer to fabrics. Tip- It is best not to use shower gel or to shampoo your hair while rinsing the tan off as the p. H in these products can interfere with your tan developing.
