FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have any tanning tips?

Yes! For a longer-lasting tan, exfoliate your skin before sunbathing to remove dead skin cells. Carrot Sun products are highly moisturizing, so many find no need for additional creams after sunscreen. However, if your skin still feels dry, use our Coconut, Watermelon, or Cocoa Butter varieties for extra hydration. Always sunbathe with care, gradually increasing your exposure to avoid overexposure.

I’d like to get a really dark tan on holiday, which cream can you recommend?

Our top recommendation is the Carrot Tan Accelerating Cream. It helps you achieve a deep, dark tan with a beautiful, long-lasting color, thanks to its henna content. This cream is perfect for getting a rich tan that lasts even after your holiday.

Can I use it on my face?

Yes, Carrot Sun products can be safely used on your face and body. However, if you have sensitive facial skin, we recommend testing a small area first to ensure comfort and compatibility.

Is it like fake tan/ self-tanner? Is there a chance I might go streaky?

No, Carrot Sun creams are not fake tanners or self-tanners. While they contain henna, which enhances your tan and makes it last longer, they won’t tan your skin without sun exposure or a sunbed. You’ll get an even tan without streaks, as long as you spend time in the sun or use a sunbed.

Will it tan me without the sun or a sunbed?

No, Carrot Sun products require exposure to the sun or a sunbed to work. They enhance your natural tanning process, but they won’t tan your skin without UV exposure.

Are any of the varieties better than the others? How do I choose which one to buy?

All Carrot Sun varieties work wonderfully! To choose, consider your skin type or needs:

  • Carrot: Ideal for normal skin and deep tanning
  • Coconut: Best for sensitive or fair skin, great for a base tan
  • Papaya: Soothing for sensitive or damaged skin
  • Cocoa Butter: Excellent for dry skin
  • Gold: Perfect for normal skin
  • Tropical Fruit: Suited for normal skin
  • Watermelon: Great for oily, dry, or acne-prone skin
    Or, simply pick your favorite scent!

Which varieties contain the bronzer henna?

The Carrot, Papaya, Tropical Fruit, and Watermelon varieties all contain the bronzer henna, which enhances your tan and gives it a rich, golden hue.

What does Henna do?

Henna adds an extra golden glow to your tan and helps extend its longevity. Even after you stop tanning, you’ll notice that your color lasts longer than usual, giving you a rich, long-lasting tan.

What is the difference between the cream and the spray oil?

The main difference between the cream and the spray oil is the consistency. Both products work the same way to enhance your tan, so it really comes down to personal preference. Choose the cream if you prefer a more traditional application or the spray oil for quick and easy use.

Are there any ingredients that help enhance tanning?

Yes, our products contain ingredients like L-Tyrosine and carrot oil, which are known to support the skin’s natural tanning process when exposed to sunlight or sunbeds, helping you achieve a deeper tan.
