Please Note: Low-grade lotions, body washes, and acne products will shorten the life of tan and may alter the color due to their unfavorable ingredients. Peak hormones may also alter the color. Aged or sun-damaged skin, especially on the legs, tends to have difficulty holding color. If you are breastfeeding, please inform us so we can give proper pointers!
