Our skin-first ingredients and our application process.

Most self-tanners are a one-step, hope-for-the-best situation. Color, shimmer, etc. all at once.

Tandem is a nourishing system.

We start with hydration first (Hydro Glow), then build color (Tan Intensifier). That order matters — it helps your tan go on more evenly and look more natural.

We also use thoughtfully selected, premium ingredients including hydrating mushrooms, hyaluronic acid, and aloe to support your skin while your glow develops.

No overthinking. Just a better way to glow.

HYDRO GLOW (Day 1):
This is your base color. A lightweight lotion that hydrates and builds a soft, natural-looking glow. Think: your skin, just tinted.

TAN INTENSIFIER (Day 2):
Your depth. A mousse that deepens your color and takes your glow to the next level, extending your results.

For best results, yes. Think Shampoo & Conditioner. They serve different purposes, intentionally.

Tandem is a system — each step plays a role. You can use them on their own, but together is where the magic happens: hydrated skin + a more even, longer-lasting tan.

Prep (Day 0):
Exfoliate about 8 hours before application to create a smooth base. Avoid shaving or heavy lotions right before applying. Our products are best applied with a mitt.

Day 1 — Hydro Glow:

• Apply evenly to clean, dry skin.
• Use sparingly on elbows, knees, and ankles
• Wash hands thoroughly after use
• Let dry for a few minutes before getting dressed
  
  

Day 2 — Tan Intensifier:

• Blend foam into skin in wide-circular motions - lightly on dry areas
• Wash hands thoroughly after use
• Let dry for a few minutes before getting dressed
  

After applying (both days):

• Wait 8 hours before showering
• Avoid sweating or getting wet during this time
  

Pro tip: Apply at night so it develops while you sleep — easiest way to wake up glowing.

Yes! Hydro Glow works great on the face as it is inherently hydrating and provides subtle results.

For a deeper results use Tan Intensifier. Start with only a small amount or mix with moisturizer for more subtle results.

Always patch test on your body and face prior to use.
