HOW IT WORKS

01

Cleanse & Dry

Start with clean, dry, completely bare skin—no lotions, oils or skincare. Apply 2–3 pumps evenly to the face before bed, then wash hands immediately.
02

Sleep

Let The Night Affair absorb and develop overnight with zero transfer. Your skin gets the benefits while you get your beauty sleep.
03

Rinse in the morning

Use 2-3 times a week or whenever you want an overnight glow. For a richer, more intense color, apply nightly until your ideal tan develops.
AFTER BEFORE

Before you get glowing

Will this turn my skin orange?

No. The Night Affair uses a low level of DHA paired with erythrulose, so color develops gradually into a natural bronze tone — never orange. Applied as directed, it's streak-free and fades evenly.

Will it transfer to my pillowcase?

No. There's no bronzer or color guide and the DHA level is low, so it's built to work overnight without transferring onto your pillow. Just apply to clean, dry skin, wash your hands, and let it absorb before bed.

Is it safe for acne-prone skin?

Yes. The gel formula is non-comedogenic (won't clog pores) and dermatologist-approved, and it's actually recommended for dry, dehydrated, and acne-prone skin. It's powered by niacinamide, lactic acid, hyaluronic acid, and squalane.

How long does the tan last?

On the face, the tan lasts about 3 days on average (typically 2–5). Facial skin is cleansed and exfoliated more often, so color fades a little faster compared to the body. Natural oils in the skin play a big factor too.

How long does one bottle last?

One bottle lasts approximately 3 months when used 3 times per week.

What's the difference vs The Quickie?

The Night Affair is made for the face — an overnight treatment mask with a lower DHA level and no bronzer, for a soft, buildable glow you rinse off in the morning. The Quickie is made for the body — an express gel with a higher level of tanning agents that is customized by how long it is left on. The quickie can also be used on the face for an instantly deeper tone.

What tan depth should I expect with the Night Affair?

The Night Affair is a light, gradual facial self-tanner designed as skincare to build natural-looking color over time and give you glass skin. After one night, results may be very subtle depending on your starting skin tone.

For a deeper result, apply a few extra pumps or use it nightly until you reach your desired shade. Looking for noticeably darker color? Try The Quickie—it has also been tested for use on the face.
