Skin must be exfoliated, clean, dry and free of all other products. Prior to application, prepare 3 wash clothes (2 dry, 1 moist), a blow dryer and a towel to stand on. Cover surrounding areas with towel to protect from overspray. The atomizer is water soluble, which means you can wipe it off of surfaces or materials. We suggest a dry shower, bathtub or a clear space of around 2-4 feet for application.

The Master Class: Professional Tanning Mist Application

This guide combines expert preparation with our signature Bottom-Up Technique and Zigzag Application to ensure a flawless, salon-quality tan at home.

Phase 1: Prep for Perfection
A professional tan is only as good as the canvas beneath it.

• Exfoliate: Use a sugar or salt-based scrub 24 hours before (or the day of) your application to create a smooth, uniform surface.
• The "Oil-Free" Rule: Avoid oil-heavy scrubs or foaming shower gels. These leave a residue that acts as a "blocker," preventing the mist from penetrating.
• Create a Barrier: Apply a thin layer of oil-free lotion to hands, feet, and dry patches (heels, knees, elbows). This prevents these areas from over-absorbing the mist.

Phase 2: The Bottom-Up Technique
Applying in sections prevents the product from creasing as you move.

1. Lower Body & Mid-Section

• The Flow: Begin at the ankles. Hold the mist 6–8 inches away and move upward in a tight zigzag motion.
• The Wrap: Sweep the mist around the sides of your torso and hips to ensure the transition from front to back is seamless.
• Back Coverage: If using a tanning strap, mist the center of the strap and use a "sawing" motion across the middle and upper back.
• Set the Base: Use a blow dryer on a cool setting for 30 seconds to set the lower half before moving upward.

2. Upper Body & Arms

• Chest & Decolletage: Start at the base of the bust and work toward the collarbones in broad, sweeping motions.
• The Shoulders: Sweep the mist over the curve of your shoulder to meet your back application.
• Arms: Start at the shoulder and zigzag down to the wrist. Use a lighter "dusting" on the inner arms, as this skin absorbs product faster.

Phase 3: Face, Hands & Feet (The Detail Work)
Precision is key for these high-visibility areas.

• The Face (The Zigzag Method): Hold the mist 6–8 inches away. Starting at the forehead, move in a tight zigzag motion down to the neck. Pro-Tip: Two light passes are always better than one heavy pass.
• The Hands: Shape your hand into a "claw" to open the knuckles. Hold the mist 10–12 inches away and apply a quick, light "dusting."
• The Feet: Point your feet outward and apply a light dusting from 12 inches away, blending carefully into the ankle line.
• The Buff: Use a fluffy kabuki brush or dry cloth to lightly buff the hairline, ears, and wrists immediately after spraying to remove excess particles.

The Professional Finish (Do Not Skip!)

• The "No-Fly Zone": Avoid applying directly to armpits. Simply buff the edges of the area with a dry cloth for a natural blend.
• Crease Check: Tilt your head back and gently dab (don't rub) any neck lines with a rolled dry cloth to prevent the mist from settling.
• The T-Pose Set: Stand in a "T-pose" and use a cool blow dryer for 60 seconds, focusing on inner elbows and under the bust.

Clean the Details: Thoroughly wipe your palms, nails, and cuticles with a damp cloth to remove any "caramel" overspray.

What are self-tanners and how do they work? ( DHA reaction)
Self tanners are products that contain an active ingredient (DHA), that causes a process on the skin which enhances and darkens the color of your skin. Instead of spending hours tanning in the sun or tanning beds, self tanners are a safer and more expeditious way of acquiring a deep, dark tan or just a healthy light glow.

What's the difference between gradual and rapid tanners?
Gradual tanners are a category within self tanning products. Gradual is a product with a very small amount of DHA—the active ingredient that darkens the skin a little at a time. This is a good product for very light skin and or someone that is a novice at applying self tanners.

Rapid self tanners are solutions that have a very high percentage of the active ingredient and because of that, will develop color more quickly. This product is not always full proof and is best reserved for those needing a very dark tan for events like fitness competitions, dance competitions, etc. This style of tanning puts a lot of the active into the skin, which typically breaks down quickly and unevenly.

How do I apply self-tanner to my face?
Best advise is to treat the self tanner like you are applying your foundation, blend deliberately into your hair line and down onto your neck and décolleté.

Why does my face tan fade faster?

Facial skin is thinner than the skin found on the abdomen, legs, and arms. In addition, the face is exposed to the environment continually and requires anti-aging products, potions, and makeup to protect the skin. While these products 'save face', due to their exfoliating nature they break down the tan more quickly.

Do I need to wear sunscreen?

Absolutely. Despite the darkening of the skin, an individual is just as susceptible to the harmful rays of outdoor and indoor tanning. An overall sun protection program is still necessary.
How do I choose a self-tanner shade that will look natural on me?

You choose a self tanning formula based on three rules of thumb;
1. What’s your natural skin tone
2. How dark do you get when you spend time in the sun

What's the difference between a Chocolate Sun mist, lotion, and gel tan?

Tanning Mist: this is most like our professional treatment/ airbrushing. This is great for a full body tan but also can serve as a great finishing product for hands and feet, or as a quick "pick me up" glow when you don’t have time for a full body tan but want a bit of color on your face neck chest and arms. The mist, when applied gives instant color due to the bronzing color guide.

Tanning Cream: is best for an all over body treatment. It is incredibly hydrating and lasts the longest of all the delivery systems, because of the hydration. Once you learn and master the application, the tan will last 7-10 days and fades out naturally.

Tanning Gel: this is an aloe based self tanner and it is quick drying, great for acne prone skin and delivers a wonderful color. Because of the aloe base, this gel seems to start developing color a bit quicker!

How can I avoid streaks and uneven color?
Just like any beauty routine, you must learn the art of application, take your time, and follow the directions.

Does the solution have an odor?
Chocolate Sun solution is made with all natural ingredients and a chemical free preservative that eliminates the unpleasant odor associated with sunless tanning. While most people do not experience an unpleasant odor when using our product, there are certain variables of body chemistry changes that may at times cause the solution to have a slight odor.

What are some common self-tanning mistakes to avoid?
Forgetting to thoroughly wash your hands after application. Rushing through application and not effectively applying and overlapping carefully so that you don’t miss spots.

6-8 hours

What are the key natural and organic ingredients in Chocolate Sun products?

How do I perform my normal skincare routine after self-tanning?
Your skin care routine post tanning can stay the same as long as there are no exfoliating or retinol ingredients.

All skincare should be focused on hydration.

If you are on a retinol or laser treatment program, you can always opt to NOT use the self tanning on the facial skin and use foundation and bronzers instead.

Can I apply makeup over my self tan on my face?
Yes, the same way that you apply pre- tan. Again, no scrubbing or exfoliating products.
Hydration and then makeup.
