No. The Body Nutritive Serum is a tanning ACCELERATOR, not a self-tanner. It requires UV exposure (sun or tanning bed) to produce a tan. It will not create color without UV. For a self-tanner that works without UV, use the Sunless Tanning Daily Facial Cream instead.

How does the sunless tanner apply? Does it apply clear?

Can I apply it to my face?

Yes, you can. We suggest patch testing first before applying all over.

How long will my tan last with the sunless tanner?

Usually with our self tanners the tan can last up to 7 days. After that you will start to see the tan fade, you can always reapply to maintain your tan or to get a color if desired.

All of the ingredients work together to provide a tan.

What is the best way to apply it?

With our tanners we suggest you first cleanse, exfoliate and apply onto dry skin :)

What makes this Sunless Tanning Facial Cream Dark Tones different from other self-tanning products?

Sunless Tanning Facial Cream Dark Tones is formulated to produce the most intense, dramatic facial tan in the Just Nutritive line — designed for those who want a deeply bronzed complexion that goes well beyond a subtle glow. It combines DHA and Erythrulose with a base of 9 therapeutic botanical oils — Borage Seed, Chia Seed, Tamanu, Evening Primrose, Pomegranate Seed, Rosehip, Apricot Kernel, Avocado, and Meadowfoam — making it simultaneously a high-performance facial self-tanner and a deeply nourishing facial treatment.

Does the Sunless Tanning Facial Cream Dark Tones produce a darker tan than comparable self-tanners on the market?

Yes. This Dark Tones version contains a higher concentration of both DHA and Erythrulose compared to the standard Daily Facial Cream. The color builds progressively, so you can control depth: one application delivers a noticeable bronze, while repeated use builds toward a richly tanned appearance. It is described as offering more intense color development than other comparable self-tanning products on the market.

Will the Sunless Tanning Facial Cream Dark Tones leave an orange or unnatural color on my face?

Natural brown. The formula combines DHA (Dihydroxyacetone) and Erythrulose — the two gold-standard self-tanning agents — which react with the skin's amino acids to produce a genuine golden-brown color. There are no artificial tints, dyes, or pigments. The tan adapts to your natural skin undertone, always resulting in a realistic, natural-looking complexion that does not appear orange, muddy, or artificial.

How many hours does the Sunless Tanning Facial Cream Dark Tones take for the dark color to fully develop?

Color begins developing 12 to 24 hours after application. Initial bronzing may appear as early as 8 hours, but the full depth of color is reached after 24 hours. Applying in the evening and checking results the following morning is the most effective approach. The color can be deepened further by applying a second layer 24 hours after the first.

Can the Sunless Tanning Facial Cream Dark Tones be used as a daily facial moisturizer?

It is primarily formulated as a self-tanning treatment, not a daily moisturizer. For daily hydration, we recommend the Just Nutritive Sunless Tanning Daily Facial Cream (original formula), which is optimized for daily use and combines moisturizing with subtle gradual bronzing and anti-aging benefits. Using the Dark Tones version daily would rapidly build a very deep color and may exceed the desired tone for most users.

Does the Sunless Tanning Facial Cream Dark Tones clog pores or is it suitable for acne-prone skin?

The formula is non-comedogenic. The base oils — Apricot Kernel, Avocado, Meadowfoam Seed, and Tamanu — all have low comedogenic ratings suitable for oily and acne-prone skin. Tamanu Oil, in particular, has documented anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that can actually benefit blemish-prone complexions. The formula does not contain heavy occlusives or silicones that would trap sebum in pores.

What is the difference between this Dark Tones version and the regular Daily Facial Cream?

The Daily Facial Cream (original) is optimized for daily use and delivers a gradual, subtle sun-kissed glow alongside anti-aging moisturizing benefits — ideal as a replacement for your regular morning face cream. The Dark Tones version contains higher concentrations of DHA and Erythrulose for a significantly more intense color result, and is intended as a targeted tanning treatment rather than a daily moisturizer. Choose Dark Tones when you want a genuinely dramatic bronze; choose the original for everyday subtle bronzing.

How do I apply the Sunless Tanning Facial Cream Dark Tones to avoid visible lines at the jawline or hairline?

Apply the cream exactly as you would a regular moisturizer — in upward strokes, blending into the neck and hairline before it starts to dry. Use a very small amount along the hairline and blend outward rather than stopping at a hard line. For the jawline, blend seamlessly down onto the neck with decreasing product amount. Wash hands with soap immediately after application. Avoid contact with eyebrows if you do not want them to darken.

Does the Sunless Tanning Facial Cream Dark Tones contain artificial fragrance?

No. The formula contains no synthetic fragrance. The pleasant scent comes from a blend of natural essential oils: Sweet Orange, Frankincense (Boswellia Carteri), Geranium, Palmarosa, and Ylang Ylang. These also provide additional skin-soothing and antioxidant properties beyond their aromatic benefit.

How often should I apply the Sunless Tanning Facial Cream Dark Tones to maintain the dark tan shade?

With proper care, the facial tan lasts approximately 5–7 days. To maximize longevity: cleanse the face gently without harsh exfoliating cleansers, moisturize morning and evening with a nourishing facial moisturizer, and avoid steam rooms, long hot showers, and aggressive scrubs. Reapply 1–2 times per week to sustain or deepen the shade.

How to Use

Preparation for Best Results: Begin with clean, dry skin. For optimal results, cleanse and exfoliate your face prior to application. This helps ensure an even, streak-free tan.
Application Process: Apply the product to your face in the same manner you would a moisturizing lotion. Be cautious around the hairline to avoid contact with hair.
Hand and Nail Care: If you opt not to use gloves, it's essential to wash your hands and nails immediately after application with soap to prevent any potential discoloration.
Allow for Drying Time: Let the cream dry completely before applying any additional facial products, such as makeup. This ensures that the tan develops naturally and evenly.

Tips

Initial Color Development: You can expect to see the initial development of color within 12 to 24 hours after application. This is when your radiant, natural-looking tan will begin to emerge.
Maintaining Your Desired Shade: To maintain or deepen your desired level of tan, reapply the product 1-2 times a week. Alternatively, use it once a day until you've achieved your preferred level of tan, then continue with periodic applications to sustain it. This allows for a customizable approach to your sunless tan.
Maintaining Your Tan: To prolong your tan, moisturize regularly and avoid excessive exfoliation. Reapply the lotion as needed for your desired level of tan.
Reduce Tan Intensity: If you'd like to reduce the intensity of your tan or speed up its fading, consider exfoliating more frequently. This process helps remove the top layer of skin cells, which can gradually lessen the tan's appearance. Remember to moisturize generously after exfoliating to maintain skin health.

So far so good ! I like that its build-able!

Love this product. A little expensive but a little goes a long way.

Probably great for young skin

I do not recommend this product for women with wrinkles or age spots. The product was a nice color, but it gathered in my wrinkles and made my dark spots darker. If you are younger with flawless skin, it would probably be great for you!

The best with a little hick up

I wrote a huge review, with pictures but it was never published. I had issues with August batch, been your customer for long time , and not giving up . I had issues with Dark tones not tanning first time ever, I order two to see if new batch will be different, and in the meantime you guys gracefully sent me 4 more to replace once that I ran through because they were not doing much first time ever.
My question is , why is new batch of dark tones white when it used to be light brown? I know lite one is that color. It works , but I’m confused. Has something changed. Please don’t change anything about it because you will ruin it. It was amazing the way it was. Thank you for amazing body tanning products, I’m stocking up on them, I’m already tanned cause we’re already going into 90’’s down south close to the beach. Please don’t change anything about body creams because they’re beautiful. Leave skin so soft and glowing. I tan year around due to where I live , and also thank you for wonderful oils, body serums, anti aging, and so many shampoos and hair growth serum . It works like miracle .
But anyways, here are the pictures of old Dark tones facial cream and new one.

Hi Semra, thank you for being a truly loyal customer and we appreciate your support throughout the years! Our products will and do vary from batch to batch. This is a good thing in that you know that you are getting pure natural ingredients in our products. Because our products are made fresh and use pure, natural ingredients, slight differences in color, scent, texture, and thickness can occur. Since our formulas are made fresh on a regular basis, the appearance may change depending on the natural ingredients used in that batch. This is completely normal and expected when working with botanicals rather than synthetic additives. Natural ingredients are not mass-produced in the same way as synthetic ones. Herbs and plant-based ingredients are harvested at different times and from different farms. Because our products are made fresh, these natural variations can influence how each batch looks and feels, including subtle changes in color. So while you may notice slight differences from one bottle to another, this is simply a result of our products being made fresh with real, natural ingredients and a sign that you are receiving a high-quality, naturally derived formulation. 😊
