Embodiments of a finishing powder of this disclosure include a rice powder and an iron-oxide pigment, with no talc or parabens, that eliminates transfer of wet or sticky spray tan bronzer to clothing, hands, or between opposing folds or creases of skin. The finishing powder may be applied full body—；for example 85% to 95% of total body surface area—；by way of a brush, being too thick in its consistency to spray. The powder may be blown from the brush to the body. An amount of the mixture applied to a user may be in a range ¾ teaspoon to 2¼ teaspoon. The powder immediately coats the spray tanning solution and remains dry to the touch. Because of its thicker consistency, the powder does not dissipate and remains on the skin up to 24 hours or until the user showers.
