For first time buyers we recommend starting out by buying one of our sample sets that will give you small samples of multiple colors that are grouped by close colored shades. After finding your best matched color you can always buy the larger size of that particular color in the single cream colors.
Before applying, exfoliate the area with our exfoliating scrub for 30 seconds. Wash off and then wipe the area with our thinner. Dry completely and do NOT use any moisturizing agents before applying our color creams. Place a small amount of your color cream of choice onto your mixing palette. Place some thinner in our mixing well and dip your brush in the thinner and dab away any excess thinner then pick up a bit of the color cream and apply a thin layer over the desired area. It will take about a minute or two to completely dry (check with your finger that it is no longer sticky). You can apply another layer if the shade is a bit too light. If it is too dark you can run your brush premoistened  with thinner over the area to lighten the shade.

On areas that are not frequently washed during the day the colors can last up to 3 days. On frequently washed areas (such as hands and the face and around the mouth) it will last less.
Exfoliate the desired area with our exfoliating scrub for 30 seconds or more. Wash the area and completely dry it. Do not apply any lotions. Use a brush or sponge (not your fingers) to rub the darkening lotion on the desires area. Be careful to not cross over the borders. Allow a few hours (2 to 4 hours) for the color to start to develop. Leave over night to reach its darkest shade. Another layer can be placed the following night to get a darker shade. Be conscious of any joints (knuckles, knees, elbows). Apply the lotion while the joints are fully bent and dab away any excess. Rub the joint area with a wet cloth after a few hours as these areas will look darker once joints are extended again.
