Exuviance Skin Healthy Tanning Mousse by Neo­Strata moisturizes and lightly exfoliates the skin to keep it smooth and evenly covered. Oil-, alcohol-, and fragrance-free, the tanning mousse works within a few hours to produce color that lasts several days without exposing the skin to the harmful effects of the sun. The allergy-tested mousse is fortified with several skin conditioners, blends evenly on clean skin, and develops color in 2 to 4 hours. One application produces a light to medium tan, and it may be re-applied as needed to deepen or maintain the color. The tanning effect lasts a few days, but for longer-lasting color, the mousse needs to be applied nightly.
