Why Has My Self-Tan Turned Green? Understanding the Science Behind Lusso Tan

Have you ever applied a self-tanner, only to find that it turns an unexpected shade of green? It's a common concern among tanning enthusiasts, but fear not - there's a perfectly logical explanation behind it, especially when it comes to Lusso Tan.

At Lusso Tan, we've revolutionised the self-tanning industry with formulas specifically designed to cater to all skin tones, including the often tricky-to-tan Irish complexion. One of the unique features of our tanning products is that green is the base colour in most of our formulas. But why green, you might ask?

Well, the secret lies in understanding colour theory and how it interacts with the skin. Green is opposite to red on the color wheel, which means it acts as a natural neutraliser for any redness present on the skin. This is particularly beneficial for those with Irish skin tones, where redness can be more pronounced.

So, when you notice your self-tan taking on a green hue when pumped onto the Mitt, it simply means that the organic guide colour within our formula has reached the end of its lifespan. But fret not - this doesn't mean your tan is ruined or unsafe to use. On the contrary, your tan is still perfectly fine and safe to apply.

In fact, when you rinse off in the shower the next day, you'll be left with beautifully bronzed results, thanks to the magic of our carefully formulated products. The green tint serves its purpose during the development process, ensuring an even and natural-looking tan, and then gracefully fades away, leaving you with a gorgeous glow.

It's important to note that the phenomenon of self-tanners turning green is often more common among users who leave their tanning products sitting around for extended periods or stored in drawers in their bedrooms. Typically, these are individuals who reserve tanning for special occasions rather than incorporating it into their regular skincare routine. We encourage our customers to use their tan more frequently before the guide color reaches its end, ensuring optimal results and minimising the chance of encountering any unexpected colour changes. By incorporating tanning into your regular routine, you'll not only maintain a consistent bronzed glow but also help your skin better adapt to the formula, resulting in a more even and natural-looking color over time.

So, the next time you notice your self-tan turning green, remember that it's all part of the process, and your Lusso Tan is still working its wonders beneath the surface. Embrace the green, rinse off, and revel in your radiant bronzed complexion. With Lusso Tan, beautiful results are always in season.
