Tahitian Mist

Our iconic best-seller for over 20 years.

Tahitian Tan Mist is a lightweight self-tanning spray that delivers light instant color upon application, giving skin an immediate, confidence-boosting glow while developing into a natural, sun-kissed medium tan over the next 8 hours. Designed for effortless, even application, this full-size aerosol provides smooth, streak-free results from head to toe.

Often referred to as a “spray tan in a can,” Tahitian Tan Mist is trusted for its fast-drying formula, weightless feel, and flawless finish. The tropical coconut scent instantly transports you to Tahiti the moment you apply, making every application feel like a mini escape. Ideal for at-home tanning, special occasions, or maintaining a consistent glow year-round.

Tahitian Tan Mist features a brown cosmetic bronzer, universally flattering on all skin tones, that provides immediate visible color while guiding application. The tan fully develops in 8 hours and won’t over-develop, giving you flexibility to rinse at 8 hours or wait until your next shower. Any bronzer transfer that may occur onto clothing or bedding is minimal and can be removed with a cold wash.

Prep Skin

Shower and exfoliate using the Resurface Exfoliating Mitt and Monoï de Tahiti Body Wash to remove dry skin or gently buff away an old tan. Start with clean, dry skin for best results.

Apply

Use outdoors or in a well-ventilated area or shower. Hold the can about 10 inches from the skin and spray in smooth, sweeping motions for even coverage. The cosmetic bronzer helps guide application and dries quickly, feeling weightless with no sticky residue.

Hands, Feet, and Face

Apply lightly to hands and feet, holding the can about 12 inches away. When applying to the face, close eyes and mouth and briefly hold your breath while spraying.

Dry Time

Allow 10 to 15 seconds to dry before getting dressed.

Develop

Wear dark, loose-fitting clothing and avoid water or sweating for at least 8 hours while your tan develops into a natural bronze glow.

Maintain

Hydrate daily with Monoï de Tahiti Body Lotion for longer-lasting, even results. For extended wear, use Tahitian Tan Extender to maintain your glow for 2+ weeks.

What makes Tahitian Mist different from a regular aerosol self-tanner?
Tahitian Mist is a full-size, 7 oz aerosol self-tanning spray formulated with a brown cosmetic bronzer that provides instant visible color upon application — so you can see coverage as you spray and adjust for even results before the tan develops. Unlike basic aerosol self-tanners, it also contains antioxidants including Vitamin C, Vitamin E, aloe, tomato and cranberry fruit extracts, and develops into a natural, sun-kissed medium tan within 8 hours without over-darkening.

How do you apply Tahitian Mist for an even, streak-free tan?
Start with clean, exfoliated skin. Hold the can approximately 10 inches from the body and spray in smooth, sweeping motions for even full-body coverage. Reduce the distance to 12 inches for hands and feet — apply sparingly in those areas. For the face, hold at 12 inches, close eyes and mouth, and briefly hold your breath. Allow 10–15 seconds of dry time before dressing. Wear dark, loose clothing for the first 8 hours while the tan develops.

How long does Tahitian Mist last, and how do I make it last longer?
Tahitian Mist develops into a medium tan within 8 hours and typically lasts 7–10 days depending on skin type, hydration, and activity level. To extend the wear, moisturize daily with Monoï de Tahiti Body Lotion to slow exfoliation and keep skin hydrated. Starting around day 5–7, apply Tahitian Tan Extender every other day to fill in fade and maintain a seamless glow for 2+ weeks without re-spraying.
