What's in Safe Tan and how does it work?
	Aloe vera based Safe Tan contains moisturisers and humectants. A small amount of evaporative SD-alcohol allows Safe Tan to dry quickly without drying the skin. The cosmetic colors along with plant extracts, help create your own individualised tan shade. The carrier takes the color and moisturisers into the top three layers of skin.
Will Safe Tan wash off?
	Safe Tan is washable for the first hour, so it's virtually fool proof. As you paint it begins absorbing into the skin at the rate of one layer every three hours. Safe Tan hydrates and colors three layers of skin, and will take up to 10-12 hours for full absorption.
How is Safe Tan different from other self tanners?
	Unlike other self tanners, Safe Tan colors and conditions three layers deep so skin underneath is tan, not just the surface layer. Only the finest food-grade cosmetic colors are used rather than harsh chemicals so there is no nasty smell or drying effect often associated with self tanners. No orange surprises the next day. Safe Tan fades gradually allowing you to retain your color longer.
Why is it important to shower with a non-moisturising soap?
	Safe Tan must be the first thing on clean skin. Other moisturisers interfere with the skin's absorption of the product. If you ignore this step, you will get color, but it won't last as long and it will be harder to apply.
How long does Safe Tan last?
	Safe Tan gradually fades over the course of a week on the body, and lasts 3-4 days on the face.
How often can I paint?
	Paint once a day for up to three days in a row until you have the desired shade. To maintain your desired color, paint Safe Tan once a week onto your body, and apply Safe Tan twice weekly to the face.
Can I paint more than once a day?
	If you do, the Safe Tan color coats itself, and absorbs improperly creating a fake appearance. Safe Tan must be left on your skin for 10-12 hours before re-application.
Does Safe Tan stain clothes?
	No - Some excess may come off on clothes after application, but Safe Tan does not stain. Using too much Safe Tan may leave a residue on the skin, so use as little as possible, by blending and stretching the product. Safe Tan won't stain nails, hair or fabric. If it does rub off on your clothes, wash normally, or if dry cleaning 'wet clean' the area. Do not use a spot treatment or stain remover as chemicals may set the color.
How soon can I dress after painting?
	Safe Tan is dry after five minutes, so you can dress immediately after painting. After the first shower Safe Tan will not rub off on clothes even during excessive exercise.
How do I paint my knees and other problem areas?
	Use the dry side of the Safe Tan brush with very little color left on it. Lightly go over the dry areas, barely getting any color on the dry skin areas, as they can grab more of the moisturisers and can appear darker. Safe Tan is fully washable during the first hour, so any mistakes can be easily rectified.
Is Safe Tan OK if I am pregnant?
	Yes - Safe Tan does not cross the blood barrier and is non toxic. Safe Tan is great to use during pregnancy because it does not have any nausea inducing odor. Safe Tan also covers any facial discoloration that sometimes accompanies pregnancy and also helps keep skin smooth and supple.
Can I paint my face?
	Yes - Safe Tan is a facial grade moisturiser, so the entire face can be painted up into the hairline. Apply Safe Tan to the wet side of the brush, and dab the forehead and cheeks. Blend with the dry side of the brush across the face, ears and the tip of your nose. Apply more color as needed. The color won't grab on eyebrows, hairline, nails, or beard. You can paint Safe Tan right over the eyelids with the dry side of the brush.
What about Shaving?
	It is better to shave in the morning and paint in the evening, as pulling the hair with a razor enlarges the hair follicles and can cause tiny dark spots. These will wash away in the next shower.
Can I use Safe Tan if I have sensitive skin?
	There are few synthetic/chemical components - Safe Tan has a cold-pressed aloe vera base with no preservatives, emulsifiers, allergens, or irritants. Safe Tan is also hypo allergenic.
