8-in-1 Age-Defying Self-Tan Serum (Face-First, Body-Compatible)
Is the serum just for the face?
Our 8-in-1 Age-Defying Self-Tan Serum is a powerful skincare-first formula designed
for your face, combining anti-aging and sunless tanning. While it can be used
on the body, it’s most effective on face and neck. For larger areas, we recommend waiting for our Sunless Tan Body Serum, launching soon.
What is the 8-in-1 Age-Defying Self-Tan Serum?
It’s skincare, anti-aging, and self-tanning all in one bottle. The serum hydrates,
evens skin tone, smooths fine lines, and builds a gradual, streak-free tan, without sun exposure.
Key ingredients include:
- DHA + Erythrulose for natural color
- Peptides, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamins B, C, E for hydration and anti-aging
- Matrixyl® synthe’6®, Purslane, CoQ10, and Celery Seed for brightening and firming
Is it safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?
Yes — it’s non-comedogenic, fragrance-free, vegan, cruelty-free, and gentle enough for sensitive and acne-prone skin.
How do I apply?
- Clean and dry your skin.
- Apply 2–3 pumps to fingertips.
- Blend evenly onto face and neck in circular motions.
- Wash hands after applying.
- Avoid water and sweat for at least 4 hours.
Pro Tip: Apply at night for best results. Follow with Mimosa Lane Head-to-Toe Hydrating Sunscreen during the day.
How often should I apply?
- Lighter glow: Apply nightly
- Deeper tan: Apply morning & night
- New to self-tanner? Start every other day and build gradually
- Dry/mature skin? Moisturize 10 minutes before applying

How should I prepare my skin?

for an even, streak-free tan.

DHA, Orange Tone & Dark Spots
Why can self-tanners look orange?
Your skin’s unique pH can cause orange tones if you overapply, blend unevenly,
or skip exfoliation.
How to do you avoid turning orange?
- Exfoliate beforehand
- Apply thin, even layers
- Build gradually
- Moisturize dry spots first
Why does self-tanner smell?
DHA reacts with amino acids in skin (Maillard reaction), creating a temporary scent — a sign it’s working.
Why don’t you add fragrance?
Fragrances can irritate sensitive skin; we use botanicals instead.
How can I reduce DHA smell?
- Exfoliate before applying
- Apply thin layers
- Allow full absorption before layering skincare/makeup
- Wash hands thoroughly after application
Do self-tanners make dark spots worse?
No — they don’t cause or worsen dark spots permanently, but can temporarily darken existing spots.
How does the serum help with dark spots?
Vitamin C, peptides, and niacinamide help even tone gradually.
How to you apply if you have dark spots?
- Moisturize dark spots first
- Apply serum evenly
- Use sunscreen daily
- Build glow gradually
What truly removes dark spots?
Professional treatments like lasers, prescription creams, or peels.
Actives, Breakouts & Layering
Can the serum cause breakouts?
Yes — temporary purging can happen when introducing actives like Vitamin C or
peptides, usually resolving within 1–2 weeks.
How do I start if I am worried about breakouts?
- Patch test before full-face use
- Monitor Skin
- Apply every other day initially
How do I layer with other actives (retinol, AHAs, etc.) ?
- AM: Cleanse → Serum → Moisturizer → Sunscreen
- PM: Alternate serum with stronger actives on separate nights if needed
- Wait 60 seconds between layers
Shade Guide & Switch Shade
Which shade should I choose?
- Fair/light skin: Light
- Medium/dark skin: Dark

Tanning Results & Maintenance
How long does the tan last?
3–7 days, fading evenly.
How long does it take to develop?
2–4 hours for initial color; full color develops in 8–12 hours.
Does it stain clothes or bedding?
Our tanning Serum dries quickly and has no cosmetic bronzers. Let it fully absorb before dressing or lying down.
How do you maintain your tan?
Based on the desired color you can reapply every day or if you want it to be more minimal you can reapply every 2–3 days. Also keeping your skin hydrated and using a daily moisturizer.
