How to Get a Flawless Tan with Ohh My Glo

Getting a streak-free, natural-looking tan isn’t about luck — it’s all about prep, application, and care. The better you look after your skin before and after tanning, the longer your glow will last. Here’s how to achieve that flawless, long-lasting glo every time.

Step 1: Prep Your Skin

The perfect tan starts before you even open the bottle.
Use the Ohh My Glo 2-in-1 Tan Remover & Skin Primer to remove old tan, rebalance your skin’s pH, and create a smooth, even base. This gentle formula clears away buildup and hydrates your skin so your new tan applies evenly and lasts longer.

Shave or wax at least 24 hours before applying your tan to avoid irritation or uneven results.

Step 2: Apply Your Tan

Pump your favourite Ohh My Glo Self-Tan Mousse onto the Ohh My Glo Tanning Mitt and blend in circular motions. Go lightly over dry areas like elbows, knees, ankles, and wrists.
For tricky spots — like your hands, feet, and between fingers and toes — use the Ohh My Glo Blending Brush for a seamless, streak-free finish.

Step 3: Set Your Tan

Once applied, lock it in with the Ohh My Glo Self-Tan Setting Spray — the secret to a flawless, transfer-proof tan. This hero spray instantly removes stickiness, dries your tan to a soft matte finish, and prevents transfer onto clothing, bedding, and surfaces (yes, even the toilet seat).

Step 4: Development Time

Leave your tan on for:

• 1 hour for a light glow

• 2 hours for a medium shade

• 3+ hours for a rich, dark finish

The colour won’t overdevelop if you sleep in it.

Step 5: Rinse and Maintain

When it’s time to rinse, shower with lukewarm water until the water runs clear of bronzer. Pat your skin dry (don’t rub), and skip soap or moisturiser for the first 24 hours to let your tan fully develop.

To keep your tan glowing for longer, moisturise daily and avoid long, hot showers.
