Perfect for first-timers and glow-getters alike, Tahitian Tan Extender is your secret to keeping a tropical bronze year-round.

Prep Your Skin: For best results, start with clean, exfoliated skin. Gently buff away dry patches (elbows, knees, ankles) with Bora Bora Body Polish or Resurface Exfoliating Mitt and make sure skin is completely dry before application. Avoid heavy oils before use, as these can create a barrier.

Extend: Apply daily or every other day as your natural tan or spray tan begins to fade. Smooth evenly onto skin in long, circular motions using your hands or the Sea Sponge Bronzing Mitt. Wash hands thoroughly after use if not using a mitt. This routine helps prolong your tan for up to 2 weeks.

Build: For a gradual tan, apply daily until you reach your desired depth of color. The gentle 2% DHA creates a subtle glow that develops within 8 hours. Reapply consistently to maintain a natural, streak-free bronzed finish.

Accelerate: Apply 20 minutes before UV exposure to help optimize and deepen your tan. This product does not contain SPF or sun protection—always pair with sunscreen when outdoors.

Pro Tips:

• Use a lighter touch on drier areas like elbows, knees, and ankles.
• Allow lotion to absorb fully before dressing to prevent transfer.
• Layer gradually for a natural glow—you’re in control of your depth of color.
• Pair with Tahitian Tan Mist for flawless spray tan results that last even longer.
