Everything you need to know about Nubian Velvet.
Exfoliate and moisturise your skin 24 hours before applying. Use the AIYM velvet mitt in long circular motions, starting from your legs and working upward. Avoid water for 6–8 hours after application. For the best results, leave it overnight.
Your tan can last between 7–10 days depending on your skin type. Moisturise daily to prolong the colour.
The shelf life is 12 months. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and high temperatures.
Our formula is designed to dry quickly and be non-sticky, minimising the risk of transfer. We recommend wearing loose, dark clothing immediately after application while the tan develops.
Yes — it is gentle enough for facial use. Apply a small amount using a makeup sponge or the AIYM mitt, blending evenly.
Gently exfoliate the area. You can also soak in a warm bath with cleansing oil, then rinse in the shower and exfoliate to fade the colour.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain quality and effectiveness.
