Loving Tan Deluxe Gradual Tan Lotion — Dark, 5.07 fl oz | Buildable, Fast‑Drying Self Tanner with Shea Butter

Loving Tan Deluxe Gradual Tan Lotion (Dark) is a lightweight, professional-strength self-tanning lotion that builds a deep, natural-looking tan gradually while moisturizing skin.

Designed by the tan experts at Loving Tan, this 5.07 fl oz Deluxe Gradual Tan Lotion delivers a dark, buildable colour with a fast-drying, non-sticky finish. It can be used on its own to develop an even, deep bronze over several applications or applied every other day to extend the life of a mousse tan. Naturally derived DHA gives progressive colour, while shea butter helps hydrate and improve skin feel, so your tan looks smooth and radiant.

How quickly will I see a tan after using this lotion?

The formula contains a tinted instant base and professional-strength DHA to provide immediate colour and ongoing development. You’ll notice a visible shade after the first application, and the tan continues to deepen for up to 24 hours. For a deeper, dark result, reapply daily until you reach your desired shade.

• Instant tinted colour gives immediate, blendable coverage
• Gradual development continues up to 24 hours after application
• Daily use builds depth; every-other-day use maintains a mousse tan

What makes this lotion suitable for daily use and extending mousse tans?

This Deluxe Gradual Tan Lotion is lightweight and fast-drying, so it layers comfortably over skin without stickiness. Its formulation was created to complement Loving Tan mousse tans, helping to prolong and intensify salon-style results without streaking. The tinted base ensures each top-up blends seamlessly with existing colour.

• Fast-dry formula avoids residue and patchiness
• Tinted lotion blends over existing tans for even maintenance
• Shea butter helps moisturize and smooth skin between applications

How should I apply the lotion for the most natural finish?

Apply using a soft applicator mitt in circular motions, working from larger areas toward hands and feet to avoid lines. Use a sparing touch on drier areas such as elbows, knees and ankles to prevent buildup. Allow the lotion to dry fully before dressing, and remember colour will continue to deepen after application.

• Use a mit to buff in circular motions for streak-free blending
• Apply lightly to dry areas (feet, knees, elbows, hands)
• Let dry before clothing; expect further colour development

Is this product safe for sensitive or everyday skin routines?

The lotion is dermatologist-tested and formulated with naturally derived DHA and nourishing shea butter to support skin hydration. It’s designed to integrate into regular skincare without heavy fragrances or sticky residues, though patch testing is advised for very sensitive skin. Packaging is updated but the proven, professional-strength formula remains the same.

• Dermatologist-tested for everyday cosmetic use
• Shea butter base soothes and moisturizes while tanning
• Professional-strength formula developed by Loving Tan
