The instant color that you see is a bronzer. The bronzer may rub off on clothes or on sheets that night. Don’t worry, it will wash out! And the tan is not rubbing off, only the bronzer.

When you do shower, you will see the bronzer wash away, BUT you will be left with a gorgeous glow! Use a mild soap for the rest of the week to help extend your tan, and PAT dry when you shower, Don’t rub!!
