Once applied, it will give an immediate tanned look produced by the instant bronzer in the mousse. The tan will develop over the next 8-24 hours and the instant bronzer will wash off when you shower. The developed tan can last up to 7 days depending on the skin type, DHA concentration, preparation to the skin prior to tanning, and after care. The tan gradually fades as the dead skin cells slough off, just as in a normal tan.

Lower concentrations of DHA are best for light skin tones, and higher numbers on dark skin tones. Our strongest formula, 14% DHA, is the maximum amount of DHA the skin can absorb at one time and gives you the darkest tan possible for your skin tone! Our 14% DHA concentration is recommended for experienced tanners looking to achieve their darkest bronze. The most widely used formulas in the US are in the medium range of 8-10%, which will suit almost all skin tones. The chart below will help you determine which solution is the best fit for you.
The best way to prevent an orange cast is to use the recommended DHA percentage for your skin type. If you're unsure which level to use, go lighter. It is easier to apply more product and darken a tan than it is to remove an over dark or orange tan.

DHA (Dihydroxyacetone) is the active ingredient that creates the tan by reacting with amino acids in the top layer of skin to mimic natural sun color; while most self tanners use lower levels (around 5–8%), GlowPro contains 2–3x more DHA, matching the 10–14% concentrations used by pros for deeper, longer-lasting results that don’t rinse away after the first shower.
Bonus:Erythrulosebalances higher DHA concentrations by smoothing color development, minimizing patchiness and orange tones, and promoting a more natural, even fade.

Exfoliation is the foundation of an even tan, but it should be moderate and intentional. The goal is to remove built-up dead skin and any lingering self-tan without over-stripping the skin barrier or removing the amino acids DHA needs to develop color. Focus on naturally drier areas like elbows, knees, and feet.
Pro tip:If your skin feels tight or looks red after exfoliating, it’s a sign you exfoliated more intensely—give it a little time (4-12 hours) to recover before applying your tan for the best results.

Apply 2–3 pumps of the 10% or 14% DHA formula to a tanning mitt and work in circular motions, covering one body part at a time. For joint areas, apply lightly, using only the leftover product on your mitt to prevent over-darkening. Allow a few minutes for the product to drybefore re-dressing.
For your face and neck, use the Blending Brush, paying attention to blending your face tan lightly into the hairline and under your ears for a seamless finish.

GlowPro’s full color will gradually develop over 8–24 hoursafter application. Higher DHA means more color potential, but the skin can only react with so many molecules at once. The color can continue to develop even after you shower!

Prioritize your skin first! When you use products that support your individual skin needs, you protect this tan and support your next tan. Light, water-based lotions or gels are ideal for post-tan. If possible, avoid greasy or occlusive formulas as they can sometimes affect how your tan fades. Focus on nourishing ingredients like glycerin, or lightweight oils such as jojoba.
Pro Tip: Apply the 6% DHA Tan Boosting Lotion every 2–3 days after showering to extend the life of your tan. This fast-absorbing lotion glides on effortlessly, with no odor, no transfer, and no need to rinse.
