It says there is no need to rinse, but when I went to take a bath at the end of the day, my tub water turned brown and the tint came off. It left a subtle tan which looks great, but keep in mind it should be used more like a self tanner and not a moisturizer and may transfer to clothes and furniture....But I do not recommend this tanner if you want to apply it and then go about your day.

Best Self Tanner on the market!...I absolutely loved this self tanner by St.Tropez!
