The product has changed color
Hi! A quick question, I bought this last summer and loved it. But I only used half of it and then it has been sitting in the cabinet until now when I felt it was time to start the self-tanning season again. When I went to take it out, I noticed it had changed from being clear in the bottle to a bit of an orange/brown tone. Should I throw it away and buy a new one? Or is it still usable? Thanks in advance!1 product in post The product has changed color295 views- The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Check the PAO symbol (e.g., 6M/12M) and if that time has passed or the scent/consistency has clearly changed, it’s best to throw it away and buy a new one! 🤍 If you still want to try, do a small patch test and evaluate after 24 hours 😊 Store future bottles in a cool, dark place, screw the lid on tightly, and avoid heat/humidity in the bathroom to reduce oxidation! All the best!1 likes
