How often should I reapply?

Avoid making a rookie mistake! Reapply every 2 hours and after swimming, sweating and toweling off.

Icon
Do I need sunscreen when it’s cloudy?

Yup, 90% of UV rays still find their way through clouds, which means you can still get fried.

Icon
When should I avoid sun?

We know it’s tough, but try to limit sun exposure when the sun’s rays are most intense (10am to 4pm).

Icon
Do I need SPF in the snow and water?

Yep. Reflections off water and snow can increase sun exposure by up to 50%. Keep that in mind when you’re surfing or on the slopes.

Does my newborn need protection too?

Keep newborns out of direct sunlight and always cover them with shade. Check with your pediatrician, before applying sunscreen to children under 6 months.

We've Got Answers

How is it different from the SPF 15 Tanning Oil?

Our Sunscreen Oil has a higher SPF and contains Coconut Oil, which has extra moisturizing benefits while remaining more lightweight than a traditional tanning oil.

Is Tanning Lotion or Oil Better?

Depends on what you’re going for. If you want deep hydration and a slow, even tan, tanning lotion is the way to go—it keeps your skin moisturized, which helps your tan last longer. But if you’re looking to tan faster, tanning oil is designed to boost UV absorption, helping your skin deepen in color more quickly. Just remember, neither replaces sunscreen, so always layer up with SPF to keep your skin happy and healthy.

How Do You Choose the Right Tanning Oil?

Not all tanning oils are created equal—some are total game changers, and some… not so much. If you’re on the fair or sensitive side, go for an oil with SPF so you can still get that glow without roasting your skin. If you’re already tan, a lightweight, non-greasy oil will help deepen your color without clogging your pores.For a lasting golden-hour glow, choose one packed with coconut oil, aloe, or vitamin E to keep your skin soft, hydrated, and beautifully sun-kissed. Rule #1: Pick what works for you. Rule #2: Don’t forget the SPF.

Do Tanning Lotions Really Work?

Oh yeah, they do. Tanning lotions aren’tjust about smelling good (though that’s a nice bonus)—they actually help your skin tan better. These lotions work by boosting melanin production (aka your skin’s way of bronzing up) while keeping dryness and peeling in check. And here’s the kicker—hydrated skin always tans more evenly and holds color longer, which means your glow sticks around instead of fading out fast. So if you’re after that smooth, golden look that doesn’t flake off after a couple of days, tanning lotion is your new best friend.
