Loving Tan Deluxe Self Tanning Bronzing Mousse, Ultra Dark - Streak Free, Professional Quality Sunless Tanning - Up to 5 Self Tanner Applications per Bottle, Cruelty Free - 4 FL Oz

So... I am a mom in my 50s who never used a tanner of this kind. My daughter uses it regularly and has an amazing golden glow that I wanted. But I wasn't sure I was willing to put in the work. So my girl gave me very detailed instructions on what to do and WOW did it work. Pros: Very natural golden tan that looked amazing on my very first try Didn't have to sleep in the product overnight Tan still going fairly strong a full week later Cons: I hate the smell. It's just... that tanner smell. The good news is it dissipates in maybe 24-36 hours but I couldn't stop smelling it for the first full day I had my tan. So if I was going to apply this for, say, a Saturday wedding, I would do it on Wednesday night so I'd still have great color but no smell for the big day. I realize some people don't mind that smell but I just, well, I can't stand it. So here's the lowdown on what I was instructed to do, and this worked like a charm. BUY A MITT. Don't even attempt to do this without one. I got a simple black mitt here on Amazon for $4.89 and it did the job beautifully. I don't think the pricey Loving Tan mitt is necessary at all. Take a shower, shave, and really try to exfoliate knees, elbows, knuckles, and toes. I just rubbed hard with a washcloth and soap, that did the job just fine. Make sure you are fully dry and then rub a tiny bit of moisturizer into the areas above that you exfoliated, so you don't have abnormally dark areas in those spots once the tanner sets up. PUT ON RUBBER GLOVES. Just the cheap disposable gloves that look like the kind of gloves your doctor or dentist uses. Pull up your hair, fully undress, and get in front of a mirror. Do your face first, with the mitt, and be sure to get your ears and neck. I shook the product well, put a small amount on the mitt, and applied in little circular motions with the mitt for each "dose" of tanner. Do your body in sections. Each arm as a whole. Each leg as a whole. Your armpits. Have someone on had to do your back if you need that evenly bronzed as well. Don't go crazy with the product on your knees, elbows, feet. Again, you don't want those areas to look too dark. Once you've done everything else, remove the rubber gloves and do your hands. Then, stand still and let everything fully dry for 10 minutes. Put on a loose robe or baggy PJs. No underwear, no bra, nothing that is tight against your body. Let the product "cure" for 3 hours (or up to 5, my daughter says) and then get in the shower and rinse off using your hands only to remove the product. No soap. No wash cloth, unless you use a very soft cloth to remove the tanner from your face. When you get out of the shower, PAT yourself dry with a towel you don't mind staining. No hard rubbing. Then, slather yourself in moisturizer before getting dressed/going to bed. This tan looked so real. Not orange at all, just golden and believable. I continued to be gentle the first couple of days when showering, and used a mild shower gel with a very soft cloth vs soap and a terry washcloth. I kept patting dry after my showers and put lots on lotion on to keep my skin hydrated and the tan looking great. Hope those tips help you, too. I was SO nervous I was going to look patchy or streaky or orange and I was none of these. I literally looked like I had just come home from a beach trip. : )

This is the best tanner I have ever used. No orange tones and the color lasts a good 4-5 days. Very easy to apply. It puts a "cast" on your skin that you wash off after several hours, leaving you with a sun kissed glow. I dont put it on my face unless Im going to be home because it can look uneven and blotchy as it dries and settles in. But then you go wash off the cast and the color is good. I really love this stuff, especially on my arms and legs. I can get my legs pretty dark and Im thrilled that the color lasts so long, most dont. I use a mitt to put on and I exfoliate well before applying. Getting ready to order my 3rd bottle, this is my new go to.

this self tan is amazing. it doesnt smell. it lasted me a week. i look so tan. i was scared of being orange but one layer of this makes me look so well tanned and fresh. i totally recommend this.

I chose the " middle" shade and it was darker than I expected. I also have never used a product where after 6 hours you wash it off. No odor which was nice.

I am a first time user. I used to work in a tanning salon when I was younger. So, I have used the beds.. spray tans.. I have tried it all. This is by far my favorite self tanner I have ever used. It does not have that terrible smell some self tanners do. It also goes on so smoothly and quickly dries during application. It is a little on the pricey side. But, it is so worth it! But.. I will say you can purchase a cheaper tanning mitt than the loving tan brand. I used the St. Tropez mitt I got for like $6 compared to the $15.

This is the best self tanner I have purchased! The mouse really goes on smooth and does not make you orange. It goes on easy like lotion. There are no streaks or spotting. I love this product.

I am an African-American woman who purchased this to get a nice, even glowy skin tone and it worked great. Very bronze.

My go to every time. Not as sticky as other self tanners and color does not have orange tone

Au topppp

Loving Tan is so worth the splurge. I usually save money wherever I can but fake tanning is something I really can't go without due to the fact that I am white as white can be. I tried a cheaper Jergens one first but it came off really orange and my coworkers kept making fun of me lmao so I bought this product despite the hefty price tag and was not disappointed! Very natural, smells great and the guide color makes it easy to use. I leave it on overnight and it does leave residue on my sheets but it comes out no problem in the wash. Then I shower in the morning and the guide color comes off and I'm left with gorgeous bronze skin. I'm going to try the 2 hour express next.

For experiences users this is a doddle but take eye off the ball and it dries FAST so can leave a blotchy arm if you start daydreaming a bit. Put some light moisturiser on feet knees elbows and between breasts (it feels badly there) and you'll be left with THE most beautiful brown. I really do love it for 4-5 days. Im pale and its the only tan others don't notice. I just get the classic you look healthy happy etc

Me agrado cho el producto, realmente es bronceado express. Se entrego a tiempo

This stuff is 90 with tracking. I ordered the same stuff before on here it smelled like soap amd was beautiful and made me black, a red brown tone the way I like it. This stuff just makes your orange. Not the same smell. I would go to the loving tan website. I wont be ordering here for this product anymore. But this is a wonderful product if you get the right one. Not a fake one.
