1. SLEEP IS YOUR BEST FRIEND We recommend performing your first application of C+C Vitamin Self-Tan Drops at night, so they can act while you sleep. This minimizes application maneuvers and prevents build-up in any lines and wrinkles, to ensure smooth results. Re-apply in the morning after your first application.

2. THE PERFECT FIRST STEP? EXFOLIATE The secret to achieving the best results is to start with a good foundation. Exfoliate your face, neck and dĂ©colletĂ© with effective skincare like our Diamond Glyco Extreme Peel. This allows you to achieve smooth, flawless skin before applying your self-tanning solution for the first time. By renewing your skin, you will also prolong the impact of your C+C Vitamin Self-Tan Drops as the tone wonât fade as you wash, but with your skin's natural exfoliation.
3. THE GREATER YOUR SKIN HYDRATION, THE BETTER YOUR APPLICATION While skin needs to be clean, it also needs to be perfectly hydrated before you apply C+C Vitamin Self-Tan Drops. This makes it easier to achieve a smooth application, and a lovely, even finish. With its citrus aroma and extra dose of vitamin C, C+C Vitamin Cream is the perfect moisturizer to pair with your ultra-light self-tan drops.
EXTRA TIP: Fair hair? Protect your eyebrows and hairline with an extra layer of moisturizer to achieve a totally natural result.

4. ALWAYS SELECT YOUR TONE You always try out lots of foundations to get as close a match to your natural skin tone as possible, right? Our self-tan solution adapts to multiple skin tones, so itâs important to follow our recommendations on the number of drops you need for your skin type and desired results. If you need greater intensity, simply reapply on a regular basis.
- Apply 4 to 6 drops to achieve a NATURAL TAN (on light skins). - Apply 6 to 8 drops to achieve a GOLDEN TAN (on dark skin).

5. DONâT MISS HIDDEN AREAS The most important thing to remember with self-tanning solutions is that you need to achieve a natural result. Once youâve chosen the right number of drops for your skin and desired tone, remember to apply evenly. You need to include your hairline, ears, the area behind your ears and around your neck, especially if you have short hair or wear it tied back.
EXTRA TIP: Dark spots? Remove any self-tan solution from your dark spots with a Q-tip or cotton bud to avoid accentuating them.
6. PERSISTENCE IS IMPORTANT You donât get results, especially lasting results, without persistence. So you need to use C+C Vitamin Self-Tan Drops every 2 to 4 nights to intensify and prolong your tan. Adjust the frequency to your desired color and intensity. And enjoy a lovely tan 365 days a year!

7. PROLONG THE IMPACT Good skincare is essential for maintaining your tan. Make sure your skin is well moisturized and donât use exfoliants or harsh soap as these can spoil golden skin. We recommend using Diamond Cocoon Daily Cleanse cream as part of your daily face, neck and dĂ©colletĂ© ritual. It treats your skin with a lot of respect to maintain your levels of moisture and comfort.
*Please note: always remember to wash your hands after each application.
