Isle of Paradise Self-Tanning Body Butter, Vegan, Cruelty Free Self-Tan Butter

I have very fair skin and don't usually tan but really wanted to look a little sun-kissed for an upcoming wedding. I tried this lotion once (shaved and exfoliated the night before, left it on overnight the next night) and am really impressed. I used it on my face with a foundation brush after applying my regular moisturizer too. I've only ever used Jergen's natural glow so I did make some mistakes around my wrists, knees, and ankles where the pigment got a bit dark. I would probably get a mitt in the future but for a one-time thing, it worked great. It doesn't leave a dark color on sheets or clothing and it doesn't have a bad smell but it is scented. It's actually kind of hard to tell where you applied it since it soaks in so well.

I lost all my pigments about 30 years ago. This is the best self tanner I've ever tried. It doesn't stink (very...very faint smell) nor rub off. It does last about 1 or 2 times in the hot tub. AND it doesn't make the hot tub foam. Just don't rub when you get out...blot yourself dry. I haven't tried a pool or ocean yet...but I'm sure if it survived the hot tub it will be fine there as well. This will be my go to tanner from here on out and it isn't going to break the bank. :)

Keeps your skin hydrated and healthy looking; With a nice shimmery glow it has that tanning lotion smell but definitely not a super strong scent.

This product is super easy to use. I put it on after my shower at night. I mix the Isle of Paradise tanning drops with it and rub it in liberally on my arms, lets, chest, back of my hands, feet and face. It works. I started using this to prolong the natural tan I had in the summer. I tan very easily so I wanted the Isle of Paradise to tan a little darker and it did! Very pleased.P.S. Pleasant scent. Not too strong.P.S. #2: Make sure to WASH YOUR HANDS after using. Also, I have never had it discolor any bedclothes or sheets.

The tan takes for ever to develop and you need to use like an entire bottle of it over the course of days to get a dark color. When it does develop it’s more orange than a nice deep brown tan. It leaves your ankles and your wrists super orange and way more pigmented than the rest of your body

I have gone through about 8 bottles of this tanner before leaving my review. Would like to state that I am an experienced home tanner and I have tried almost everything. I personally like a gradual tanning product the best because you don't have to use an application device or worry about streaking and rinsing. Apply like lotion and wash hands after. I use after shower a few days in a row until I look lovely and tan then every other day for about a week then I skip like 5 days and start over. I find that it builds up nicely but eventually, in the winter months especially, it needs to come off and start all over. It doesn't stain my clothes unless they are white and I don't find the scent to be bad. I will say I gave some to my mom to try and she didn't like the smell (she is picky about tan smells). If I were to make a request to the company it would be to make a gradual tan option that is extra hydrating for the winter months.

Turns you orange. You have to use enough to cover your body but then it looks like you used the whole bottle. I would not get this again it’s not a lotion it’s no joke.

I really love how easy it goes on and just the right glow. Not too dark but just right 👌.
