• How long do I need to wait before showering or working out?

 

Ideally leave the application on for 4 to 8 hours before getting wet – the tan will continue developing for up to 24 hours.

 

• Can I put on make-up post-application?

 

Do not apply anything wet up to 4 hours after spraying, such as foundation that might interfere with the activation process. Feel free to apply liner, mascara, bronzer or blush, etc. and hit up the town as your radiant glow magically appears!

 

• When should I get a manicure/pedicure or wax?

 

A manicure or pedicure is best to do after you spray just in case you want to clean up around your nails. However request not to exfoliate your legs and wait at least 4-8 hours before getting your feet and legs wet! Wax your upper lip, brow and bikini line BEFORE you spray.

• How does Brownberry work?

 

Our concentrate contains a unique combination of two completely safe active ingredients that work together to give a flawless looking glow that will fade evenly too. The first, dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is a colorless sugar that interacts with the amino acids in the surface layer of the skin to produce a temporary color change – your glow. This ingredient is combined with Erythrulose, a naturally moisturizing ingredient derived from raspberries, that works in the same way as DHA but it develops more slowly, giving you a smoother color that lasts longer and provides the natural, radiant glow.

• Can Brownberry be used during pregnancy?

 

Our main tanning agent, Dihydroxyacetone, has no known toxicity. However there has never been any testing done on pregnant women.  Most women usually wait until after their first trimester before spraying, though to be safe check with your doctor first.

 

• Will Brownberry cover stretch marks, scars or acne?

 

Our flawless mist will help camouflage your skin tone, however we cannot guarantee it will completely eliminate marks, scarring or acne. If the mark or blemish is dry, dab a tiny amount of lotion or Vaseline on it prior to application. Rub the dab in post-application.

 

• Can Brownberry work with Vitiligo?

 

Brownberry’s Vitamin D3 nutrients may help treat Vitiligo when used weekly. However DHA will only activate and camouflage if combined with melanin. We recommend applying a light application over any patches first to test out results. Feel free to reapply if you find color develops.

 

• Will Brownberry with Vitamin D3 protect me from UV rays outside?

 

No. There are no sun filters in Brownberry enriched with Vitamin D3 so it’s very important that you protect your skin with sufficient levels of  an SPF product before sun exposure.

 

• What if I have sensitive skin and/or allergic to any ingredients in Brownberry?

 

Brownberry is an all water-based, dermatologist tested product. Just in case, we recommend conducting a small patch test in a sensitive area such as the inner arm 24 hours before full application to ensure you do not have any unlikely reaction. Always seek medical advice if you think you have had an allergic reaction to Brownberry products.

 

• Is Brownberry tested on animals?

 

No way.

 

• How long will my sunless tan last?

 

Depending on your skin type and how you care for it, generally a Brownberry glow lasts 4-10 days. Brownberry will last much like your skin holds a real tan. For more staying power, always moisturize and avoid products that dry out or exfoliate skin like alpha-hydroxy or benzol peroxide. Using a gradual tanning moisturizer once you notice any fading will add a few more glowy days.

 

• How do I remove any unwanted color?

 

If your Brownberry glow is fading and ready to come off, bring a washcloth into the shower and wash off any unwanted remnants. If your color just activated on an undesirable spot like your hands or feet, apply facial bleach on any mishaps for your skin to return to its original color (see removal video in How To).
