Tan Overnight Sunless Tanning Lotion 8 oz - Self Tanner, Self Tanning Lotion, Face Tanner - Natural, Long Lasting, Instant Dark Bronzer, Gradual Tan for Sun-Kissed Glow

Let me preface this by saying I'm the whitest white person in the history of white people. Did you ever see that movie "Powder' from the 90's? That was my nickname in high school. I never tan. I go from Michael Jackson-white to roasted pig red. Even in the tanning booth. I tried tanning a couple of times and I basically just got pink so I gave up. I've tried a few tanning lotions and for the most part they just look orange. I have to say, this is the first product I've ever used where the color is actually tan and somewhat natural looking. I was kind of shocked. Usually, if I do buy a tanning lotion, I get the lightest version and then have to mix it with my own lotion before putting it on because even 'light' is a jarring difference on my skin. I tried this on the recommendation of a YouTube beauty guru who was about as light as I am and couldn't believe how well it worked for her. So I figured I'd give it a go. I have to agree... fantastic results. Best fake tanner I've personally ever tried. It was subtle enough to just give a hint of color but enough tan to notice the difference. And it gets darker the more you use it. But I didn't want to look super tan... I think that it's strange to go from white to super tan all in one day. So I use it twice a week just to keep the sun-kissed look and that's plenty for me. Again... I'm very pale so it works for me. I can't speak for anyone with a different skin coloring. And if you ARE looking for super-tan results, I'd rec using the dark version. I also have to say it actually smells okay! I'm used to that disgusting fake-tan smell, and this does have a bit of a smell to it, but it's not bad at all. I actually kind of like it. You have to make sure to apply it evenly, as with any self-tanner, otherwise you'll see streaks. And one thing I did notice is that you have to wash your hands really, really well. Or use a glove. I've used self-tanners before so of course I know you have to wash your hands afterward but this turns the palms of my hands a very dark orangey color almost immediately. Maybe it's some weird reaction I alone have, but I did notice it enough to mention it here. In fact, if you use your bare hands, I'd recommend having a brush of some kind nearby to help scrub it off with soap and hot water. It comes off, so don't worry, but I just noticed how weird it looked and I had to wash my hands twice the first time I used it because it was so dark. I'm really happy with my results. I would recommend the medium to anyone who's nervous about trying self tanner. Usually I would choose a 'light' version, but medium was perfect, even for me!

I have fair/light olive toned skin and I can get a bit sickly looking in the pale winter months with no sun kiss on my face. I like to stay away from tanning beds if I can so I am always on the look out for a good sunless tanner for color and convenience. In the past I have settled for Jergen's Natural Glow and Nivea Sunkissed Radiant Lotion, both of which are nice products that offer a very subtle color, but I wanted more. I recently tried the Bare Minerals Faux Tan Body lotion and was really impressed with it - natural brown color (not too gold, definitely not orange), buildable color, bronze tinted lotion so you can see where you apply it and get an instant bronze boost, no streaks, long lasting... I recently ran out of my Faux Tan Body (which I was also using on my face with no problems) and I didn't want to spend another $30 for 6oz - 6oz doesn't last long when applying to your whole body 2/3x a week. I began to search on Amazon for an alternative and came across this one which had excellent reviews. Upon receiving Sun Laboratories product I was surprised to notice that it seems to be almost the exact same product as the Bare Minerals Faux Tan Body lotion. It looks the same, smells the same, feels the same, and applies the same. Natural bronze color - not orange. Instant tan color which allows you to see where you apply the lotion. Long lasting. Pleasant fragrance. Even application. Not sticky, slimy, or greasy - really dries and soaks in. It's great. Both products have the same scent, and I find it pleasing. It doesn't smell like typical self tanning lotion, it has a sort of "amaretto" scent, sort of a subtle almond/cherry smell. It does develop a slight "tan" smell later on but it is not at all overpowering, a quick rinse down in the shower and the scent goes right away - color will stay. I am so happy I found this product. It is, to me, nearly the exact same as my previously loved Faux Tan Body at a fraction of the price! I can now afford to maintain my tan and keep my sunless tanner in stock no matter how fast I go through it. One TIP I can offer: If you have dry skin in the winter it might be beneficial to moisturize with a more hydrating lotion before you apply this, the tanning product itself is not very moisturizing alone and I find that using a body butter first helps the tanning lotion apply more smoothly and easily. Exfoliate, moisturize, then apply the tanning lotion. I apply this product to my face also and I have found that the best, most natural way of doing this is to mix a little bit of tanning lotion with my daily facial moisturizer, I use a small plastic cosmetic spatula and apply a bit of each product to the back of my hand, mix together, then apply. It gives you a gentle bronze glow without looking too harsh. I will be using this product for a very long time to maintain a subtle winter glow, very pleased! Would recommend!

This is the best self tanner I've ever used. This tanner gave me a natural golden colour after one application, with no orange hues. I've used some more expensive products, and some of them seemed to not "absorb"/"take" to certain areas (ex. my ankles, chest), but I didn't have this issue with Sunlabs. This tanner's initial colour isn't overwhelming, either. Also, the smell of the lotion is amazing (I want to say almond extract? Edit: It's cherry-almond - yum!), and no weird DHA/tanner smell. Colour lasts and is really easy to apply. Will definitely be my go-to tanner from now on.

Bottle was broke in the package. Tanning lotion everywhere 😡 but I love this product and have bought it many times.
