With so much misinformation floating around about tanning, it’s easy to get confused by common myths. From misconceptions about self-tanners to fears of stained clothes, we’re here to set the record straight. CocoTropez, with its self-tanning lotions, is your trusted source for achieving a healthy, sun-kissed glow—without the guesswork. Let’s debunk the top 5 tanning myths so you can tan with confidence.
Myth #1: You Can Only Tan Under the Sun
Truth: You don’t need the sun to achieve a beautiful tan. With CocoTropez Self-Tanning Lotion, you can get a natural-looking glow without ever stepping outside. Our formula gives you a sun-kissed complexion without the harmful effects of UV rays, making it possible to enjoy a tan year-round, safely.
CocoTropez Tip: Apply the self-tanning lotion evenly and let it develop over a few hours for a radiant tan—no sun required.
Myth #2: Self-Tanning Lotions Stain Clothes and Sheets
Truth: A high-quality self-tanning product like CocoTropez is designed to dry quickly and won’t stain your clothes or sheets when applied correctly. Simply allow the lotion to dry for 10-15 minutes before getting dressed, and you won’t have to worry about unwanted marks.
CocoTropez Tip: For best results, wear loose, dark clothing right after application while the tan develops.
Myth #3: Self-Tanners Don’t Look Natural
Truth: Gone are the days of orange, streaky tans! CocoTropez Self-Tanning Lotion is formulated to deliver a natural, even tan that complements your skin tone. Whether you’re after a light glow or a deeper tan, our buildable formula ensures you’ll achieve the perfect shade—without looking fake.
CocoTropez Tip: Use a tanning mitt to apply the lotion in circular motions for even coverage and a flawless finish.
Myth #4: Tanning Products Dry Out Your Skin
Truth: While some tanning products might dry out your skin, CocoTropez’s self-tanning lotion does the opposite. Infused with moisturizing ingredients like aloe vera, it hydrates your skin while giving you a beautiful tan. You can enjoy your glow without worrying about flaky or dry patches.
CocoTropez Tip: For long-lasting hydration, apply a moisturizer daily to lock in moisture and extend the life of your tan.
Myth #5: You Can’t Use SPF with a Self-Tanner
Truth: You absolutely can—and should—use SPF with self-tanners. While CocoTropez Self-Tanning Lotion contains SPF to protect your skin during application, it’s still essential to reapply sunscreen regularly when exposed to the sun. Self-tanners don’t replace sun protection, so make SPF a part of your daily routine.
CocoTropez Tip: If you’re heading out into the sun after using a self-tanner, apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ for continued protection.
