How do you use a tan extender after a spray tan?
Apply the Tahitian Tan Extender toward the end of your spray tan's life cycle, typically around days 5 to 7, when the tan starts to fade unevenly. Massage a small amount onto clean, dry skin using circular motions, just like a daily moisturizer. Use every other day as needed. The gentle DHA formula extends your spray tan for 2+ weeks by filling in fade and maintaining seamless, even color without the need to re-tan.

Will the Tahitian Tan Extender transfer onto clothes or sheets?
No. The Tahitian Tan Extender uses a white-based, colorless formula with no guide tint, meaning there is no immediate color on the skin upon application and no risk of transfer onto clothing, bedding, or sheets. Unlike bronzed self-tanners, the color develops gradually within 8 hours from DHA — invisible during application, natural-looking after development.

Is the Tahitian Tan Extender TSA-friendly for travel?
Yes. The Tahitian Tan Extender comes in a 3.4 fl oz bottle, which meets TSA liquid carry-on requirements. It's designed specifically for travel — compact, leak-resistant, and easy to apply without tools or mitts. Ideal for vacations, weekend trips, or any time you want to maintain a spray tan or build a gradual glow while away from home.
