b.tan Clear Self Tanner Foam | Glow Your Own Way - Rinse Free, Best 1 Hour Express Sunless Tanning Water Mousse, Dark, No Transfer, Moisturizing, Face & Body, No Fake Tan Smell, 6.7 Fl oz

I would consider myself a fair skinned person. I am not white, but without any sun, I definitely appear more on the pale side. My skin color tends to look a little reddish when I tan. I am more the sun kissed tan more than the brown olive tan naturally. I felt the color on this was great. Not orange, but not pure brown either. I felt the end result was a very natural sun kissed look. Application was super easy. I was hesitant about the gradual application, but definitely you notice a color after the first application. If you want to be darker, just apply it daily. After I sprayed it, I rubbed it in with my fingers. I felt it was nice and even! I like the end result of this more than other big commercial brand gradual tanners that I have used. I also wash my face with a lactic acid wash and an acid toner for acne. I was afraid it would eat off the tanner. I think it may fade it faster, but did not make me streaky which is great. I have used other gradual toners that take SO LONG for the tan to show up that it is frustrating. I also do not like the fast tanners sometimes because it is too bold, too fast, and without perfect application is streaky. This application process is very forgiving especially for a beginner. Also, this is probably the last offensive smelling tanner I have used. It does not bother me. I love this stuff. Love the color, love the feeling. It is overall a really great product!! Also the price of this is $9.99 right now, and that is a great price point for me! Really affordable.

I have fair skin, this gets me dark. I do two to three coats. I’ll probably buy the darkest color when I reorder as I have the second to darkest. I leave it on all day. Then wash it off the next morning. By the time I shower any color that comes off is very minimal- just the color guide which is a slightly gray tint. I end up coming out of the shower as dark as I was going into the shower, just with a beautiful brown color minus the slight gray hue. I, like many here, have used almost every self tanner on the market. This stuff is cheap and gives you a deep, dark tan, what more could you ask for? The color doesn’t settle right away so you can check it out once done in one area and you have time to even it out if you need to. I never have streaks or am blotchy. Just be sure to properly prep your skin, this is the key to an even, beautiful tan. If you’re a beginner do your research, or read the pro tips below. I wish someone had given me these tips before I first started on my self-tanning journey. Here is how I prep and how I keep my tan lasting as long as possible. - Start exfoliating two to three days prior to tanning. (Here’s why this first step is MOST important: If you just exfoliate once, you’re going to get a bunch of dead skin cells off, but you’re not going to get everything off. When you tan dead skin cells, those dead skin cells are going to eventually shed themselves not at the same time as the other skin cells, and so you’ll left looking patchy or spotty. I use Indie Lee’s ‘Coconut Citrus Body Scrub,’ but any salt or sugar scrub you like will do. If you have dry skin, use a moisturizing body scrub as exfoliating can be abrasive and remove moisture. - Remove hair the day before with an epilator or by waxing, something long term so you don’t have to shave your color off. If you must shave, shave the day of tanning when you shower, not the day before. - Shower the day of tanning- but WAIT to tan. You want your skin to be clean when you apply your self-tanner, but you should wait a little bit post-shower to slather on tanner. When you get out of the shower, your skin is more absorptive and the self-tanner or the bronzer [can] seep into your pores, which can leave you with a speckled appearance, almost looks like blackheads or freckles. **If you're in a hurry to apply, you can run ice cold water over skin for 15 seconds to prevent seepage, but your skin should be completely dry before applying tanner to prevent uneven application. - Protect your hands and feet, apply a fragrance free moisturizer because if you don’t they will be orange. Go for a non-oily moisturizer that absorbs quickly. Make sure whatever you use even if it’s something you have to use in a bind, that it COMPLETELY absorbs into skin first. For dry skin do two coats. I VERY lightly apply moisturizer to knees and elbows and lightly apply tanner on these areas as well. - Use a tanning mitt, for small areas like feet you can use a make up brush, it works just as well as a tanning brush- trust me I’ve used both. Doing this ensures a subtle tan in those areas also. I use one for my face also, and blend it into my hairline in circular motions. - Work from the feet up. Your body creases and so will your tanner if you don’t. - If you forget to pick up a sling tanner for your back, use a spatula and put it in your mitt. (Don’t judge 😂) - WASH HANDA IMMEDIATELY AFTER. Use a makeup brush to blend the areas around your hands and wrists so that you don't finish with a line. - To preserve your self-tan for as long as possible, take lukewarm showers. Once you get out of the shower, be sure to pat yourself dry instead of rubbing and always moisturize. If you need to wear something tight like a sports bra, apply talc-free baby powder onto your skin before you wear it to make sure your tan stays glowing. To keep up with your tan for as long as possible be sure to use these showering tips towards the bottom. When you remove hair try a cream hair remover, avoid shaving if you’re gonna keep up the tan. Reapply as needed, every few days should do the trick.

I was prepared to hate this product, but WOW, just wow. It is fantastic and I will definitely be buying it again and using it in my regular line up of summer beauty products. And you can't beat the price. For how affordable this is, I was not expecting it to be this good. Let me be clear. I haven't used self-tanners in a really long time. I'm talking maybe 5 years, but probably more like 7 to 10 except for a brief foray into using a light product that I bought a yard sale that didn't work at all. And let me tell you that either this one is insanely good, or in that loooong time frame of my absence, self tanners have improved. A LOT. They used to stink and be super sticky and gross and orangey. This one is not. It is amazing in every way. So I'm going to write a review and it's going to be long for the people who really need to know what they're getting before they get it. If you're not that person, this isn't for you, sorry. I'm also going to include directions for all the people out there who will try this half-heartedly and say it didn't work. That bugs me. So if you want to know the TRUE scoop and all the details on this product, read this, or skim it at least. First of all the only, and I mean ONLY, reason I'm giving it 4 instead of 5 stars is because the naming conventions are idiotic. They're meant to be cute and edgy with their flirting with profanity but the honest truth is it just makes it more confusing. This is important because I am super pale and I need the most bang for my buck with color. I had to Google and click on two websites to figure out that the one that I got, Tanned AF, is level 4 out of 5. There is a darker one if you want that, but I'm too lazy to Google it again and figure out what it is. That said, this stuff is amazing. It is literally the least smelly of any tanner I've ever used in my life. Now maybe tanners have improved in that way (remember I haven't used one in a really long time) and they're all like this now, but I don't know. I'm just impressed by how little it smells, even after it sits on your body for a while. The next thing you need to know is that everyone is reviewing it and saying you need to exfoliate, and this is super true. DO IT! I exfoliated for two days using a nice gritty exfoliator and exfoliating gloves and that's a really important step. I probably could have done it for one more day to prepare. The next thing you need to know is that applying is WAY better with a tanning mitt. I have never used one before and it was wonderful. I would recommend getting more than one because I needed multiple coats and my tanning mitt was drying from being washed out, so I couldn't use it the third time. Okay, so now the directions. First, lotion your rougher areas like your knees. Then get your tanning mit on and really slather the stuff on there and rub it in evenly. I can't emphasize this enough. If you rub it in really well, you'll get a beautiful, even tan. I don't know why people are complaining about the gray color because it really helped me to me make sure I was rubbing it in with even strokes and not letting anything get clumped up anywhere. The next thing you need to know is be PATIENT. On me, it absolutely took at least 6 hours to develop. At first it looks like it's doing nothing. Just wait. I actually recommend putting it on right before you go to bed and then letting it develop overnight. Do NOT wash it off after an hour like it says in the directions, for any kind of reason! That said, it dried really fast and didn't feel super sticky even though I put on two coats on to begin with. I just put on a dark cotton dress and went about my business. This is an amazing improvement in self tanners because I used to feel absolutely sticky and gross for HOURS with my old ones back in the day. I even put on a third coat right before bed and let it dry and it didn't make my sheets all smelly and sticky. It should be noted that I had to put the third coat on with my hands (because my tanning mitt was still drying after washing it out) and I just did it super quickly and rubbed it in well. Then I washed my hands very thoroughly and I did not get tan hands. This is really where I could also see that it wasn't smelly because even though it had been on my hand they hardly smelled that all. Lastly, the color is TERRIFIC!! I get tan on my arms from working in the garden all summer, so I know what my true "tan" color should look like from that situation. This is a very true to color, beautiful golden brown like no tanner I've ever had before. Way to go b.tan! I'm super impressed overall. If you've tried self-tanners in the past and didn't like them, or have been wanting to dabble in self-tanning and are willing to take all the steps, get this product!! You will not be disappointed. And remember, this is coming from a super white, pale, pasty person who hasn't used tanning products in a long time. I was going to be super hard to please, but they did it!!

When it first came out on the mitt I though it was soooo dark! It was almost black! Don't let this scare you. When you wash it off it looks super natural. Great tanning product for those of us that wouldn't use self tan products very often. Make sure to exfoliate off old tan well before reapplying.

Muy bueno, al principio dude del color porque es verdoso pero yo que soy un tono de piel muy blanco estuvo ideal porque no te deja naranja flaso. Si necesitas capas para ir intensificando el color.

Great self tanning

Nie polecam produkt nie jest orginalny po 1 aplikacji nie widać efektów

Per la mia pelle è il migliore mai provato. In schiuma, si stende con apposito guanto (non presente qui) e dopo poche ore appare l’abbronzatura marroncina (no giallo). Più si tiene prima di sciacquare, più scura rimane l’abbronzatura
