You don't need to soak off. They peel off so easily because the gel doesn't stick to the nail at all, after a day you can easily peel them off.

If IBD has a soak off gel, I've never used it, but I do use CND's Shellac which soaks off. Generally IBD is considered a hard gel that doesn't soak off. You've gotta file it or let it grow off. I've used IBD for years and I really like it. I also like the shellac too, which can be used together. Hope this helps :)

I have been using Ibd for a few months now and I find it's stronger then soak off. The only issue I have noticed is if you don't keep it very thin near the cuticle you may have edges that want to lift a bit (not like acrylics lift mind you, but still it can become detached slightly and I don't like that). I have found it to be a great product. It's easy to work with, strong, flexible and all in all pretty nice. I think you can count on two weeks if you aren't really hard on your nails (as I am). Just like any product of this type some work better on some people then they do on other people but I would say it's well worth trying out.

Hi, To be honest it was for my gf, but it lasted closer to 3-5 Weeks for the bigger size. It is very very very effective and works very well, but the proportions are kind of off, she says. Not sure if it's supposed to be like that, but the face wash and sunscreen lasted closer to 6-8 Weeks. My gf just got her cosmotologist license and now gets it for 40% of directly with Jan Marini in CA ( I guess they require one to order directly). Hope this helps!! Bryan

Not long at all for me. maybe a day. Washed off in shower as all others. This one was recommended by my best friend & she loved it. Maybe I have the type of skin that it just won't stay on. Salon spray last about 4 days for me.

Yes its great over a period of time. Give it a least two months. I love it. But I'm going to try an organic brand. I'm not sure if it is or not. I use this brand on my skin after a shower.

I saw some info that talks about the new HE washers and the lack of water in them during the wash cycle. One said to dissolve the SunGuard first and put it in the washer. Another said as long as you dissolve it in very warm water, you can then soak your clothes in a tub for at least 15 minutes and it will still work. I have been using this product for about 6 weeks now, I had a skin cancer removed( they got all of it). I don't wait the 20 washes. I treat my work clothes once a week just to be on the safe side. TO be on the safe side, contacting the manufacturer would be prudent.

I cannot imagine leaving this product on overnight. The first time I used it I had trouble not washing it off sooner than the suggested time. With regular use my skin can tolerate the product for longer and longer time periods, but I'm talking about minutes. I cannot imagine an hour, much less overnight. I am afraid her face would be badly burned.

My experience is that the on the exterior, that newness look lasts a few weeks but the general improvement lasts for many months - of course it depends on exposure factors. On the interior, it looks great for 6 months. But I keep my car in a garage. Compared to any other preservative, it is incredibly better. And it is quite not as greasy feeling like that of the "armor" of the prime supplier in this field

Pam, Mine usually lasts 2.5 months on everything except the face wash. I tend to use that up within a months time.

I didn't soak mine. I just rinsed it off let it air dry completely, about 24 hours then put it in the brown sugar and it worked perfectly.

It will definitely wash off if you are in water a lot;as any self tanner would. I recently went on a vacation to Florida and I used this product the night befor I got on the plane and it lasted for about 4-5 days before it completely washed off. I was in water and taking showers frequently. Hope that helped :)

I also didn't soak my feet first, but it still worked quite well. I guess it might have worked better if I *had* soaked, but I was still very pleased. I took a 20 minute bubble bath on about day 5 after using it, and the next morning, I had huge sheets of it coming off the bottoms of my feet! So maybe that helped...?

I'm not sure about a whole body - maybe a smallish one? I have ample in one towelette for my head, neck, arms and legs for golf and fishing - never tried the whole body. But it works - lasts a long time - 3-4 hours per towelette of South Florida sun/sweat. Don't know about swimming/wash off; try the manufacturer for that? One thing I do like - other than the great convenience - is the product never leaves a stain like so many others do in sweaty use. Same for the lotion version.

You don't HAVE to, BUT - I left it on every night for about a week, and my skin started to get really itchy, dry and red. My skin even started to burn a little. It also left a little filmy residue on my legs, so it would probably recommend washing off after 20 minutes.

Yes, it was the same. It lasts about the same, but maybe a little less. I haven't really timed it. I do recommend it, though!!
