Azure Green Base Color Correcting Spray Tan
(hot) take on the tan: Azure’s 1 Hour Extreme Dark Green Base is a true color correcting spray tan solution that neutralizes red and pink undertones for a olive brown tan. Unlike many other color correcting solutions, Azure’s Green Base neutralizes reddish tones long after the color guide is rinsed off. And while the result is an olive brown tan, it can be used on a wide range of skin tones from light to dark.
I let the solution develop for exactly three hours before first rinse and 24 hours later I was left with a rich brown tan that lasted for a solid eight days before evenly fading.
