You haven’t taken off Tanner, you have taken off that bronzer when you take a shower. You really just want to take the time to whisk by hand (without soap) and make sure there are no watermarks.

Many say “my tan is very streaky”, because it didn’t take long for them to completely wash the bronzer in the shower. Rinse until the dripping water becomes transparent and the bronzer is gone. It’s a way for you to know that you’ve completely rinsed.

Your tan lasts 24 hours. Therefore, we recommend that you do not use soap for the first shower.
