Everything you need to know to master your WAAD glow, from prep to application to keeping your tan lasting all week.
This is the #1 difference between a professional-looking tan and a patchy one.
The WAAD Tanning Glove keeps your palms stain-free and blends the milk evenly across your skin in smooth, circular motions. Apply directly with your bare hands and you'll spot the difference instantly — orange palms, streaks, and dark fingertips. Never skip the glove.
Smooth skin = smooth tan. Every time.
Twenty-four hours before applying WAAD, buff your skin in the shower — pay extra attention to knees, elbows, ankles, and wrists. This removes dead skin and any old tan buildup, so the milk sits evenly without patches. Skip this step and even a perfect application will look uneven.
Wrists, elbows, knees, and ankles absorb self-tan faster than the rest of your body — creating dark rings if you don't blend properly.
Once you've applied WAAD to your legs and arms, take an extra minute to blend outward and lightly buff over these areas with the glove. This is the small detail that separates "at-home tan" from "salon finish."
Your tan develops in the hours after application — showering too early washes off your glow before it fully sets.
Wait a minimum of 8 hours before your first rinse (overnight is easiest). Lukewarm water, no soap, no scrubbing for that first shower. From day 2 onwards, everything is normal — just moisturise daily to keep your glow lasting up to 7 days.
