I use the lotion every other night and apply with a mitt. I do not wash off in the morning as I get ready for the gym and just go. It does not bleed onto my clothes. However the foam is something I use once a week and do have to shower it off as I would get on my clothes. If I need a tad on my face I use the brush to apply only to cheeks and lightly on my nose and forehead Best tan ever! @Loving Tan US LTKselfcare LTKActive LTKgrwm
