Q: I don’t usually wear tan, but I want to use this as a daily moisturiser. Will it make me orange?
Not at all. We’ve spent over 18 months perfecting this formula with the ideal concentration of 100% naturally derived DHA to ensure a flawless, streak-free, natural-looking glow, never orange, no matter how often you apply. It’s perfect for first-time tanners and skin-first beauty lovers.
Q: How many applications will I need before I see results?
Your skin will look instantly hydrated, and your gradual tan will begin developing within 2–4 hours. For a deeper glow, apply daily until you reach your desired shade, then maintain with regular use.
Q: How do I apply the Gradual Tanning Moisturiser?
Apply to clean, exfoliated skin using circular motions for even coverage, don’t forget areas like the tops of your hands and feet. Wash your palms thoroughly after application. For best results, incorporate into your daily routine.
Q: Is this like a fake tan that I need to remove or scrub off?
No- this is a gradual tanning moisturiser designed for daily use. It fades naturally and evenly over time without patchiness. There’s no need to scrub it off, just top it up regularly to maintain your glow.
Q: Can I use this over my Lust Minerals Self-Tanning Mousse?
Absolutely! It’s the perfect tan extender. Apply it daily to hydrate the skin and prolong the life of your tan, keeping it smooth, fresh, and glowing.
Q: Will the gradual tan transfer onto clothes or bedding?
When applied correctly and allowed a few minutes to absorb, transfer is minimal if any at all. Any minor transfer that may occur typically washes out easily thanks to the clean, gentle formulation.Biggest tip is to always exfoliate before use to prevent any transfer. The transfer is usually dead skin, not the product itself.
Q: Does it smell like fake tan?
No fake tan smell here! It’s naturally scented with Coconut and Vanilla for a delicious, beachy scent. We’ve worked hard to eliminate that typical self-tanner odour, so you can enjoy your daily glow with confidence.
Q: Are your products vegan?
Yes, all Lust Minerals products are vegan, cruelty-free, and clean. This product contains 100% naturally derived DHA and is free from harsh chemicals.

Q: Will this product protect me from UV exposure?
No, this is not a sunscreen. While it gives a sun-kissed glow without UV exposure, you’ll still need to apply SPF daily for proper sun protection.
Q: Can I use this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Yes, this product is considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, thanks to its clean and toxin-free formulation. If unsure, always check with your healthcare provider.
Q: Will I get the same results as shown in your before-and-after photos?
You’ll definitely achieve a beautiful glow, but every skin type reacts slightly differently to DHA. Your final result will depend on your natural skin tone, melanin levels, and application frequency. That’s the beauty of a gradual tan, it builds to suit your skin.
