General
1. How long does a self-tanner/spray tan last?
On average, AMARÉA lasts 10 to 12 days. This depends on your skin type and how well you care for it with moisturizing products. But ultimately, it really comes down to how you care for it.
2. Is self-tanner/spray tan safe for the skin?
Yes, self-tanners and spray tans contain DHA, a natural ingredient that colors the top layer of skin. It's safe and harmless to the skin.
3. Can I tan if I have sensitive skin?
Absolutely! We recommend always doing a small patch test first. Amaréa products are gentle and formulated for all skin types.
4. What is the difference between spray tan and self-tanner?
Spray tan is professionally applied in the salon with a tanning machine, while self-tanner (mousse, tanning water or drops) can be applied at home.
5. Are Amaréa products not tested on animals?
Yes, all Amaréa products are 100% cruelty-free . No animal testing is conducted, neither by us nor by our suppliers.
6. Where are Amaréa products made?
Our products are carefully developed and manufactured in the United Kingdom (UK) . Quality and safety are always paramount.
7. Is it safe during pregnancy?
First of all: congratulations on your pregnancy ✨! Our products are safe to use during pregnancy because the active ingredient (DHA) only penetrates the upper layer of skin and does not enter the bloodstream. If you have any doubts or have received specific medical advice, always consult your midwife or doctor.
Preparation (Prep)
1. Should I exfoliate my skin before a spray tan or self-tanner?
Yes, exfoliate 24 hours beforehand with Amaréa VELA and the MANO glove for smooth skin and even absorption.
2. How many hours before my tan should I shave or wax?
Always do this at least 24 hours before tanning to allow your skin to recover and your pores to close. PRO tip : use a new blade for this. This will even out the skin tone.
3. Can I wear makeup during my tanning session?
No, make sure your skin is clean and product-free. Makeup, perfume, and deodorant can stain.
4. Can I use perfume or deodorant before tanning?
It's best not to use this before your tan. The ingredients can interfere with absorption and may also turn your armpits green.
5. What clothes should I wear when tanning?
Wear loose-fitting, dark cotton clothing. This will prevent blemishes and lines in your tan.

During application (Apply)
1. How many layers of self-tanner should I apply?
One thin, even layer is sufficient. Your skin only absorbs a limited amount of color.
2. Do I need to use a tanning mitt or can I do it with my hands?
Always use a glove like the Amaréa MANO . This prevents streaks and orange palms.
3. How do I apply self-tanner to my face?
Use Amaréa AZZURA tanning water or gently blend the mousse with our brush.
4. How do I prevent stripes on my wrists and ankles?
Blend with a dry brush or use the remainder of your mitt for a soft transition.
5. Can I contour with my self-tanner?
Yes, this is possible! Accentuate your cheekbones, collarbones, and abs with an extra touch of tan.
After tanning (Maintain)
1. How long should I wait before showering after application?
Wait at least 6–8 hours, unless you have used a rapid tan.
2. Can I exercise after applying self-tanner?
Avoid exercising and perspiring for the first few hours. Sweat can cause stains as they develop. After showering, you can go back to normal.
3. How do I care for my skin after tanning?
Moisturize daily with a gentle, oil-free product. Preferably twice a day to prevent blemishes.
4. How do I prevent my tan from fading blotchy?
Moisturize well and avoid harsh scrubs or oils.
5. How can I keep my tan looking good for longer?
Hydrate well – drink plenty of water. Pat dry with a towel. And if you like, extend your tan by mixing our GOCCIA drops into your favorite body lotion.
