In this step you should mix the lotion and cocoa together until there aren't any lumps.

I tried it. Pretty cool. Cocoa makes a nice brown. Using your fav lotion makes it
smell the way you want it to & using cocoa is natural. I don't think
it would survive a swim. But it would last thru a party. -- Thx

What a cool concept!!! Is it by any chance still sticky after it dries though???

It's actually staying on. I recommend letting it sit for 3 hours before going swimming. You should be fine as long as you don't use any harsh exfoliating scrubs where you applied the lotion/cocoa mix.

Interesting idea!

It seems like it would wash off though, after the first trip into the pool or shower. What has your experience been?
