Self Tanner Bronzing Mist | Fast, 1 Hour Express Sunless Tanning Spray, No Fake Tan Smell, Dark Bronzing Glow, Face & Body, No Added Nasties, Vegan & Cruelty Free, 7 Fl Oz

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 will first start my review by saying I do not put this all over my entire body so my review is regarding my legs only. The rest of my body tends to get tan, but for some reason my legs never do. Over the years I have tried so many different products, but have never been completely satisfied with the results until now. The following key factors for giving it such a high: Absolutely no orange after application; there is no smell with this product whereas many of the other products have a very distinct smell; The application is easy as long as you follow the directions and the tan does last 6-7 days. I have had no blotchy patches when I do a second application after three days; the results leave you with a very natural looking tan. And the cost of this tanner is a lot less han others and you get a large amount of product! For a great price! I am honestly so thankful that I found this product, and will continue using it! I watched many videos, online of people applying the tanner and picked up a few tips that might aid you in the application process: 1. Exfoliate first and then shave. Otherwise you can get agitation. 2. Definitely purchase the mitt for application because this tanner gets your hands dark quickly if you don’t use a mitt (5.00 mitt). 3. Apply the tanner in circular motions, rather than up-and-down up-and-down. This will give a more even application.. (I apply the tanner to one leg at a time starting with the bottom portion of my leg up to my thighs and then I go back to my feet.) 4. Although it says, do not put any lotion on prior to application.,I do apply lotion to my feet and toes and blend it upwards by my ankle & heal of my foot prior to application. This seems to prevent any blotchiness.. 5. After applying the product to the lower part of my leg and upper part of my leg, I then take the mitt off and I use a fluffy, make up brush, squirt, one pump of the product on the brush and apply it to my foot and ankle area with the brush. This was a great tip. I got from someone else’s video and has helped extremely with the application of the product on the foot.. With any south Tanner there is a bit of a process which you get used to and plan accordingly when you are going to be applying self tanner. I highly recommend this product and think you should give it a try.

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!!

I saw so many great reviews for the b.tan Self Tanner Bronzing Mist and had to try it, and I’m so glad I did. It applies evenly, dries quickly, and gives a beautiful, natural-looking tan in just one hour. No streaks, no orange tone, and best of all, no fake tan smell. The color develops smoothly and looks amazing. Such an easy, mess-free way to get a great tan. I will definitely be buying this again!

Ok, here’s a real review from an expert tanner. I have tried drug store tanners to Sephora tanners to high-end tanners like Loving Tan. This stuff is gold! I think some of the bad reviews might be from people that don’t know what they are doing. First of all, NEVER WAIT JUST AN HOUR for any self tanner. I don’t care what the bottle says. I don’t care if it’s a $7 bottle or $100. You need to wait 8 hours for results. Beauty is pain people! Second, as a person who likes to be 10 shades darker I am VERY hard to please. I like to be very dark so most tanners do not cut it for me. I chronically do 2-3 applications for one tanning session. I wait for one application to dry for 5 minutes and then apply 1-2 more. Even then some self tanners do not cut it for me. Tan AF tanner is definitely a beautiful darker color. I was shocked that a $10-$14 bottle could achieve a fairly dark color. My one complaint is that it was 3 applications to achieve the results in the photo but I love the color. Third, people have complained about this coming off of sheets or the grey color (second photo). Omg. That’s just silly to me. The grey color gave me BEAUTIFUL dark color without a hint of orange. Tan AF nailed it in the color department. I’m not a golden tan. I’m a deep dark brownish tan. Incredible. I wore it all night. Very little depositing of color on sheets or clothes, which is awesome. They use very little bronzer in their solution. Two thumbs up from me. Fourth, it dries so quickly. I’ve had sooooo many self tanners be sticky as hell and annoying to have on for 8 hours. This stuff dries fast with no sticky residue feeling!!! Amen to that! And for the first time ever....there is virtually no scent. No other tanner has achieved that! Impressive. Fifth, the price is awesome. You can grab this at Walmart for $10. That’s amazing even if I apply 3 times. The bottle is a great size. Not too small but not on the large side either. I freaking love this stuff. Give it a try!! And, make sure that the week before application you are heavily moisturized, shower and exfoliate right before application, and wait the full 8 hours!!

This honestly is the best tanning mousse I ever used that is budget friendly for super pale folks. I only wish it came in darker. :( I had to apply 3 layers just to see a real SLIGHT difference on my pale skin. CONS: Other than that, the only other downsides of this is that it DEFINITELY feels icky after you put it on. So it might be wise to go to sleep in it so you won’t get overstimulated, lol. With that being said, it does NOT take only an hour to develop. If you want to see even a slight difference, you are going to want to apply several layers, which is tricky because this product does NOT dry down. You have to do it over the course of a couple of days. Be sure to put a towel or 2 down beforehand because it WILL transfer. It doesn’t dry down until hours later. You will for sure look gray after you apply it, I looked like a corpse- which I knew I would look funky initially. You always do with a good tanning mousse. It’s definitely a ‘trust the process kinda thing. It won’t stick to stretch marks, and it will stick to your pores if you have big pores like me. I’ve been using self tanners for a while, so I prepped right- I promise. It’s definitely the product, HOWEVER, let’s get to the pros. PROS: This is the BEST color I have ever used in my life. I am being so serious. It does last 7-10 days too, you just have to take care of your skin like you are supposed too when using self tanners. Moisturize your skin EVERYDAY. It will help you keep your fake tan on longer and when it does fade, it helps it fade evenly. You don’t want your tan crusty and flaking off because your skin is dry. As much as it pains me to say this, I am willing to go through the cons to have this color on my skin. This is the most natural looking product that I have ever used on my skin. I normally use St. Tropez, so that’s saying a lot. I just haven’t used their purple based one yet, which will be my next product to try.

I absolutely love this affordable self-tanner. It gives me a beautiful, natural color that never looks streaky or orange. I will say that I notice the 'tanner smell' for the first day or two, but the results are so good that I don’t mind at all. It’s best applied with a tanning mitt for an even finish, and it dries completely within just a few minutes, so I don't have to wait around before getting dressed. Always happy with the look it gives me!

I give it good marks for - Color - is good and noticeable (i get the dark one even though I'm a little fair skinned and it turns out well and I don't need to do a 2nd coat) No streaking - once you get the hang of misting evenly and not so much it runs or drips, you'll get the hang of after the first time Not orange Affordable - seriously, the prices on some of these boutique or "luxury" brands is criminal, but people enjoy setting money on fire for a label on a jar, apparently Can be used on your face - I have acne prone skin so if it will clog pores, it will do so with me and It doesnt give me breakouts. TIP - this goes for any face tanner, wait about 30 minutes after shower/bath or washing face to allow skin to fully dry before applying. It will eliminate splotchiness and stop it from darkening your pores which can look like big black heads, but aren't, the tanning develop just gets accentuated around the pore if your skin is wet or too moist, it sounds kooky and I have no idea why it makes a difference but it really makes a difference. Here comes the "but" and the reason I deducted a star (if Amazon would let us do half stars I would have only deducted 1/2 star for this making for a solid 4.5, but I can't give it 5 stars, so 4 by default). It gets a bad mark for - Smell - yep, it's got "that smell' that is unmistakable and it can get kind of strong after a while especially when used on your face. So, if you can deal with it and power through knowing you got a pretty good product on all other accounts and saved a significant amount of money (when comparing cost per ounce with other offerings). Then this will work great for you.
