20 Best Dha Free Self Tanner (2023 Updated)

I have used both the BBE lotion and now the mousse. Both are great products! If you are looking for a deeper, bolder tan then I would suggest BBE’s lotion over the mousse. However, If you are looking just to have a nice sun-kissed, natural tan/glow– the mousse is great for that! The mousse also applies just a little easier and dries a lot quicker! There is no color guide (as the foam is white) but I don’t mind that personally.

The smell is very pleasant going on and the DHA smell is fairly light as it dries. It fades really naturally and seems to take A LOT less effort to scrub off and prepare for a new applocation. But quite possibly my most favorite thing about it of all is how EASY it is to blend onto your hands & feet!!!! Sooooo much easier than the lotion and looks SUPER natural.

Lastly, I feel like the mousse lasts longer on my face and armpits than when I used the lotion. The color always seemed to fade a little faster in those areas but it seems I get a few extra days of color there with the mousse.

I highly recommend giving this product a try!.

I love the brand Beauty by Earth! I have used some of their other products and really enjoyed them, but this was my first time using the self tanning mousse. I love being able to say my tan is natural 😉 the ingredients list is amazing.

I love that it includes essential oils instead of any kind of fragrance. It does still give the classic self tan smell, but I have found that every brand I have used has done the same. nothing abnormal.

I will say that I would not recommend this for those who are new to using self tanning products. There is no guide color, which I am assuming it to keep the brand more natural. for me, this is difficult because I am not quite a pro at applying self tanner, so it came out kind of splotchy for me.

I’m sure this would get better with experience 🙂 the color pay off was good, a little orange for me, but after a shower, it looked very natural! definitely worth it!.

Fair skin and freckled here. I’ve used a handful of different tanners going back near 20 years and this is by far the best one I’ve tried. Very smooth application. IF you properly exfoliate, apply cream like it says to on dry areas, and use the mitt as it says to then you will have a perfect application and colour.

After it dries there is absolutely no stickiness or colour transfer. The only time I ever saw colour was when using toner on a face pad on my face. I use an infrared sauna daily and sweat a lot in it and using a cloth for the sweat- zero colour transfer.

The colour on me lasted nearly a week with just the one application.

So far I have used the body tanning lotion, face tanning lotion, tan extend lotion and hand mitt. I haven’t really needed the exfoliator, immediate tan lotion and brush. I have followed what some users have done putting on the lotions at night.

I shave my legs that morning and don’t put any lotions on during the day. I wash my face right before application. So far works great that way. I have used the tanning lotions on my face, chest, back, arms and legs.

The arms and legs last the longest. I wash my face twice a day so that fades more quickly. I have fair skin tone and the dark is a natural tan color for me. I just washed the mitt for the first time.

I used it for a few weeks without washing on both face and body. I didn’t wash my hands very well after using it the first time and it tinted under my fingernails even though I used the mitt. So make sure you wash your nails for sure after application.

I have shaved my legs in between applications and some color seems to stay despite shaving. The color fades naturally. I have noticed a little color transfer on pressure points of clothing such as elastic legs and on shoulders with bra straps.

This is the best sunless tanning product I have found. I like it.

I am in love with this body bronzer! Beautiful color that isn’t orange or shimmery at all. Gel formula is super easy and quick to apply and blend with an applicator mitt. No streaks or weird color build-up on ankles/feet that I’ve experienced with other brands.

I hate using DHA self-tanners, so I’ve been looking for the perfect wash-off bronzer and THIS IS IT. The price is affordable, the color is lovely and it applies evenly and doesn’t transfer. The only downside is that I don’t care for the fragrance, but at least it’s better than that unmistakable self-tanner smell.

I use this on my legs in the summer and I feel confident wearing shorts and skirts. My legs are super pale and white and this color is so nice and bronze without shimmer – just right without looking fake.

I’m so impressed with this product and so glad I found it online. I’ve tried a lot of other bronzers and this one is the best. FYI – shipping took almost two weeks so keep that in mind.

So far I love this self tanner! I have to admit I was a bit skeptical hearing this self tanner wouldn’t leave a smell as it processed but they’ve done a really great job at perfecting it! There is definitely a strong coconut smell but it’s so much better than the strong self tanner smell.

The color goes on great too, although I’d like to try the ultra dark on my skin. The dark goes on nice but would like to see a bit more color. I also love the feel of this lotion! It doesn’t feel sticky, doesn’t bother me throughout the day as I have it on.

That used to deter me from putting self tanners on more frequently was the way it felt and smelled during the day or as I slept. This goes on smooth and I almost forget I have to shower to wash it off.

Really, really like it and can’t wait to try a slightly darker tone!.

I have tried almost every lotion out there over the years thinking that someone will eventually get it all right in ONE bottle. To say I was crazy happy is a understatement! The first thing I noticed when I opened the tube was the smell, it took me back to sandy beaches and tropical drinks.

Smells like coconuts and sugar! I love that the lotion itself isn’t colored, as I applied it felt like silk and was a smooth application. I do like to use my finger to apply, no mitt, ( I use a nail brush to scrub my hands after applying) and the reason is that it gives me a sense of the real quality and texture, as well as the smell that usually makes me toss it quickly.

With this lotion, you will have no worries. It also didn’t stain my clothing, sheets, etc. NO orange glow with this, no one would never guess it was a sunless tanner. What I’ve noticed since using this everyday, and yes it sounds crazy, but it also has softened the wrinkling we all get on our neck.

I’m in my 40’s and don’t have a huge amount of wrinkles, but I hate the few I have on my neck, but this is a miracle in a bottle, so to speak. I will always leave a honest review , doesn’t matter if it is good OR bad.

As for myself I love everything about this🌴.

So far so good with this product! I use Jergens body lotion daily and have very sensitive skin, and I love their body lotion. I trust the brand because it is a large brand and typically with large well known brands they sell more product, which means more reviews, more chances for those nightmare break out/rash horror stories…and I am not seeing any of those stories about this product anywhere.

Fully trusting in Jergens brand, I bought this product but I did not buy their mitt, I bought the Tanologist mitt, which happened to be cheaper too, and it worked great! I am extremely fair skinned, you can literally see through my skin I am so pale.

I went all in with the deep bronze! I have a friend who recommended exfoliating, shaving, and also using body lotion before using this product. The lotion beforehand is very important so you do not get streaking around your knees, ankles, joints, elbows.

Also, when you apply just apply on your thighs, and lower legs, then only using the excess product on the mitt go back and get your knees, elbows, ankles, feet, and hands, making sure to bend so you do not get creasing.

It has been a couple of hours and I can definitely see a natural tan progressing with no streaking! I did not use this on my face, I used my normal serum, and face lotion, then after it dried I used the Jergens natural glow moisturizer in light/med.

I am naturally a pale ginger and let me tell you, I’ve been self tanning for the past 10 years and have tried soo many brands (loving tan, st. tropez, st. moritz, b. tan, l’oreal, tan physics, etc. ) and this one still remains my top fav.

My #1 reason for this self tanner is that it gradually fades over time. It lasts for a week and it always fades so nicely & evenly to where I don’t need to do a full-body exfoliate to remove leftover tanner before applying again the following week.

Loving tan is definitely a fan favorite, however, it does not gradually fade and it fades in patches and you pretty much have to exfoliate it all off after a few days and reapply. But NOT with this jergens instant sun self tanner! I always use the dark one since the lighter one has more orange pigment.

Also, this formula always works nicely on the feet and ankles and never looks harsh in dry areas. This self tanner does take a little longer to fully dry because it is moisturizing, but it has never gotten onto my clothes or my bed sheets.

I always apply it before bed and even if its not fully dry, i still put on a long sleeve T-shirt & pajama pants and go to sleep and i wake up and its perfectly fine! No streaks ever! My #2 reason for this self tanner is it remains even after your first shower the next morning after applying.

Unlike other self tanners that have the color-guard which ends up washing almost completely off. 10/10 recommend this tanner!.

I am light – medium olive at my fairest to quite tan olive after plenty of sun. I am very familiar with self-tanners and what constitutes a good one. I have my favorites but every now and then I branch out hoping to discover a cheaper alternative.

Currently I am as fair as I can possibly be and Jergen’s Deep Bronze mousse isn’t giving me anything remotely deep or bronze. Firstly, I have to use two coats to achieve a barely there “glow. ” Obviously if I’m using double the product, then I’m getting half the tan sessions per bottle, making it less cost effective than my higher end ones that actually give the results I’m looking for with one coat.

The tone of this tan is very strange, not natural looking at all. And it fades poorly. It develops into a light orangey-salmony color. It’s so far from bronze or how most skin will naturally look after being in the sun! Fortunately/unfortunately it’s very faint on the skin and doesn’t stand out too badly as an obviously botched tan job.

BUT, it doesn’t give me the boost of confidence I feel when I have on a good tan! I actually makes me a little self-conscious, esp in natural daylight. It just doesn’t do anything good for my skin. To make things worse, it likes to gather around ankles and crooks of elbows after a few days.

Then oddly it wipes away very easily. Too easily. This is good for removal of caked up areas, but bad for staying power. Conclusion: For me it’s a 2. 5 star product. Pros are that it doesn’t smell bad and the mousse is lightweight and spreadable.

It’s cheap. Cons: Not much pigment in the mousse. Needs two coats, which means it takes double the time to apply & the bottle will run out 2× faster. After two coats “Deep Bronze” is barely detectable.

Unnatural color. Fades unevenly. Is suspiciously easy to scrub off. Poor staying power. Not a cost-effective tanner in spite of its affordability. Will stick with my Dripping Gold or St. Tropez & Fake Bake Flawless combination.

So good for super pale skin. It doesn’t leave me orange, just takes me from porcelain white to light. Super realistic & you can add layers to get darker. It doesn’t smell like most self tans. It has a light almost sweet smell.

Even though I hate artificial fragrance, I don’t mind this. For reference, the smell of Suntegrity’s self tan is almost unbearable for me. Absolutely recommend although I think you could go through it very fast if using on the body.

Amazing product! I have tried so many self tan products usually resulting in an itchy reaction. This product not only is super gentle but give great even colour results. Virtually no odour and smells more like body lotion than self tan.

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. This product has a very nice smell to it. Application was very easy. Make sure to read directions carefully because different areas of the body require different amounts of product.

I didn’t notice any streaking at all. I have sensitive skin and there was no problem with irritation with this product.

Repeat user of this lotion self tanner. Leaves my skin feeling moisturized after vs the dry feel with foam. Doesn’t leave streaks unless you leave a thick layer of lotion somewhere. Even have used on my face and back with no acne issues.

Has a very faint scent that isn’t noticeable unless you really are breaking a sweat.

The Alba Botanica is a sunless tanning lotion. Simply just put some on your plans, rub your hands and start rubbing all over your body avoiding your eyes! You do not need to lay in the sun. Just sit back and watch the magic happen.

This product is not sunscreen and does not protect against the sun. For a darker tone, simply just reapply in 3 to 4 hours. It is non streaking for minks that forms quickly for a natural looking tan.

It may get on your clothes as well. For best results, avoid swimming, bathing and or exercising. It is a cream based lotion, smells really great. I love the results of it & will continue to buy the product.

I highly recommend this product.

Fantastic product. Lasts FOREVER and holds its quality. I bought my first bottle in 2018, used it many times, kept it refrigerated, and used it again just recently and the product was still perfect. I was shocked.

I was almost out when I decided to order more. Love Norvell. I wont buy anything else. Keep it refrigerated, thats the key to longevity if you dont tan regularly.

I have mixed reviews on this product. My husband is a red-head and extremely light skin. The coloring on him looks fantastic. However he takes 2 showers per day, because he goes to the gym daily, and this coloring only lasts 3 days on him.

I have used other tanning solutions on him previously and they lasted for about a week. So, the color looks good on him but I have to tan him 2 times per week. I am a brunette and tan easily. The color is very dark on me but also washes off too quickly.

The only reason why I would not recommend this product is it does not last long enough.

Get ready for the best tan of your life totally a holy grail when it comes to self tanner. This tanner is super easy to use and leaves you with a gorgeous glowy deep tan. Plus it actually smells and feels good which if you self tan you get so many of these products smell and feel horrible when drying but not this one definitely recommend.

I’ve tried many self-Tanners. And it’s hard to find that “Right Fit” of scent, look and last ability. I saw so many great reviews for this! And I was excited to try it! For me though, I’m not a fan of the scent.

( for reference, I like Tanwise for their scent better as well as look, Banana Boat USED to be my go-too before they made it white instead of the natural looking tan) so! After trying this though, the scent is way too much.

To me, it’s a burnt citrusy smell. If that doesn’t bother you, then, you might like it! As far as the color goes, it’s a lighter tan, how’s on smoothly. But for me, I can’t get past that initial burnt Orange peel scent.

( I’m more of a Vanilla/ Cocoa Butter girl) But if yiu like citrus! I’m sure you’ll enjoy this!.

I like this self tanning lotion and have purchased it twice. It has a nice color when applying so that you have instant bronze colir and can see any streaks or areas you need to blend better. I don’t like the smell of the lotion but the smell doesn’t last.

I didn’t use it my face since I have face drops. The lotion isn’t sticky or tacky and it didn’t transfer on anything.

I never write reviews but this product was so worth it! I’m EXTREMELY pale, I’m convinced I have no melonin in my skin at all, I cant tan in the sun or beds. This product was a miracle for an upcoming wedding.

Not orange, not streaky. Some spots may be a little brassy at first but washes off in the shower leaving a nice golden hue. First I exfoliated and shaved, waited an hour for my pores to close and then applied the lotion as directed in circular motions with the gloves on.

My skin is on the dryer side, and I have “strawberry dots” on my upper legs so I was worried this wouldnt work like many other products but it DID! I’m so happy. The smell at first is strong but over night it goes away! I only did my first coat in the PM as recommended and I still love the color already.

I will be applying my second coat tonight. Definitely make sure to apply lotion on your feet, that’s the only place it came out a little weird but its fixable. Product is a little oily at first but your skin soaks it up.

10/10 I would recommend to anyone who has trouble tanning and is really pale and afraid to use self tanners.

There are some pros and cons with product. So first off, this stuff DOES work. One application gives you a nice subtle tan for times when you need some quick color on your legs but 2 applications on separate days gives you a deep rich glow.

Unfortunately, it can’t all be good though. This does take a really long time to dry and even when it seems dry, it’s really not. I used this product late in the evening after I showered hoping the color would develop overnight.

I applied it and after a few hours went to bed. My sheets were a mess the next morning! So even when it felt dry, it apparently wasn’t. The next day I applied another layer which gave me a nice sun kissed tanned look but I had to to keep putting towels down everywhere I sat because it would rub off! The other con and to me the worst, is the smell.

After the product “dries” it has this really musty smell. I can only compare to an almost ammonia like smell, kinda like what kids smell like when they pee in bed in elementary school. The smell really is awful and almost not worth using this product at all.

I was hesitant at first about this tanning lotion since this was the first product from this line, but after using the lotion on multiple different occasions throughout the year, I can honestly say this lotion is truly the best out there.

This product really does give you a nice yet subtle tan without the hassle of a mousse or tanning mitts. It does not leave you with an orange-y tint either which is what I was initially afraid of when first applying the product since so many other lotions on the market today end up turning you too “fake” looking and streaky, but i can honestly say this lotion does the opposite which is so REFRESHING to see.

My only complaint is the after smell: Initially the Sandalwood smell is pleasant when first applied onto the skin, but after a couple of days, I do notice that the tan starts smelling like your typical “tanning lotion” which I was hoping wouldn’t happen with this formula! That said, this could just be the way my body is reacting to the lotion as it seems like other reviews do not mention having the same issue with the smell as I do so probs dependent on the user at the end of the day.

Either way, the tan smell is not unbearable or too noticeable IMO, so I would say this product is a 10/10 for me and something I will always keep in my bathroom for year around use!.

lol like the title says the self tanning cream is AMAZING. I’ve been self tanning for about 10 years now so you can imagine I’ve tried them all – Loving Tan, St. Tropez, Bondi Sands, GloPro Tan, St. Moriz, Vita Liberata, professional spray tans, you name it.

Although I like the mousse for the fact that it’s an instant, extra dark bronze, nothing beats the lasting power of this lotion. I used to tan every Sunday night with my ultra dark mousse, shower the next morning as you should, and I would get a strong 2-3 days out of it before it started patching on my hands, inside arms, neck, and feet.

I cannot recommend this self tanning lotion enough – I’ve gone through about 6 bottles so far and always keep 3 on hand. It’s creamy, easy to blend, smells nice, and most importantly, gives you a good, buildable tan that lasts through everyday showers and baths for a good week.

I also really like that you don’t have to use a mitt, just make sure to wash your palms otherwise those will turn dark. The color it gives it very sun kissed, definitely more of a warm based tan but NOT ORANGE.

I am naturally a very, very pale, pink tone, usually a step up from the lightest generic foundation, so the first night I apply I don’t see a huge difference but you can tell my overall tone is a little darker and a lot more even.

The second application the following night is when the magic happens – this is when it matches my dark tanning mousse that I love. After using it two nights in a row I will switch to a regular lotion for a couple nights and then maybe use the self tanning cream one more time before I totally exfoliate my body and start over.

The packaging is to die for and the ingredients are incredible, it actually leaves your skin feels hydrated unlike my other mousse self tanners. The last thing I’m going to say is I just purchased the self tanning drops and have used those a couple of times on my face – love, and have been mixing them with the lotion to get a deeper bronze, again, LOVE.

I’ve only used that routine twice now and I am noticeably darker than when I just use the lotion, and I haven’t broken out from the drops yet either. I’m sure they will become just as much as a staple in my routine as the lotion.

:).

My absolute favorite tanning product to date!!! Very hydrating, doesn’t smell bad, doesn’t have to be showered off the next day, no streaking or unevenness, very real looking, doesn’t stain the hands, doesn’t stain clothes or bedding, and incredibly easy and hassle free.

It offers great buildable color if you aren’t looking for an intense mouse type dark tan which might only be able to be achieved with that type of product but it is soo amazing, I don’t see myself ever going without this product and am so grateful to find such an easy to use tanner.

I was getting so annoyed with the hassle of foam tanner and the stains and smell it leaves behind and was going to settle for having no tan look until I found this from a blogger Julia Havens talking about it on instagram and it couldn’t have come at the perfect time!!! thank you for making such an great product 🙂 I also loved the No.

12 face product as other face tanners dried my skin out and this is the only one I have found that doesn’t do that so bonus for me on not having to wear foundation any longer. I paid for this product in full and have no affiliation with this brand and normally do not write reviews but its that good and I couldn’t not take the chance to hype it up in case someone is on the fence about buying it.

There are so many great things about this tan, I love it so much! I’ve been self tanning for years and years and I can’t believe I didn’t try it sooner. I doubted a cosmetics company’s ability to deliver a good self tan and assumed it was just a cash grab from the brand (sorry, Tarte).

But I needn’t worry because this stuff is amazing and exactly the kind of tan I love so much these days. The pros (and there are many) 1. Lotion – like consistency makes it easy to spread evenly. I use my bare hands and wash between sections to avoid tanned palms and this works out great.

Also allows me to use less product by skipping using a mitt that absorbs. 2. The color! Perfect neutral tone for my light-medium, very olive skin. It has a purple-brown base and does not look orange on me whatsoever, even after it develops.

This is the best color for my olive skin I think I’ve found in a tanner (green based tans accentuates too much of the green in my skin and make me look somewhat sickly. Red bases can work but they alter my natural undertone too much and often end up making me look like I’m covered in body foundation.

Orange is never good for obvious reasons). 3. The depth. Also perfect for my complexion. I used to want the darkest tan I could possibly find, but after looking back on pictures I realize how unnatural those tans looked on me (Sosu Dripping Gold, Loving Tan Ultra Dark, Tanceuticals Ultra Dark).

With one coat this legit makes me look like I’ve been out in the sun working on my tan. It is a perfect medium tan, which is what I want being of medium complexion (light – medium in winter). 4. The fade.

It slowly leaves my skin over the course of the week, never ever leaving behind dry, crusty looking patches. I think this is thanks to the moisturizing formula. 5. Doesn’t clog pores so I can use it on my face and don’t need a seperate face tanner.

6. Very little to no DHA smell after showering. 7. Hands and feet take the tan very nicely. No patchiness or unevenness or crazy looking knuckles. 8. I’ve used it twice now over my whole body (One coat each time) and the bottle still feels very much full.

A little goes a long way esp. when skipping the mit and just using bare hands to rub it in Cons: So far I haven’t found one which is crazy because I am so picky about self tanners and have never found a truly perfect one.

I could be nit picky and wish the depth of color lasted a little longer, but there are trade offs and I feel like I’d lose some of its other qualities if that were the case.

I love this tanner for the immediate color and glow I get upon application. It is sticky and thick. I prefer to apply it with a mitt to ensure even application. The color guide allows you to see where you apply but can wear off on clothes.

The bronzing agent does sweat off easily as well and streaks if you accidentally get dropped with water. The color guide can be rinsed off after a couple of hours and initially leaves a nice tan color.

However, this tanning product does not give as intense or long lasting color as you would expect based on the depth of the color guide. There is an unpleasant “tanner” smell even after rinsing the bronzing color guide.

The retail price for this product is more expensive than others on the market that provide better color payoff and a longer lasting results. I will not purchase this product again and cannot recommend it.

This smells better than most self tanners but it does still have the self tanner smell after a while. It smells like cinnamon or nutmeg or something at first and when applying. It is a lotion with bronzer and develops to tan over a few hours (8 per the bottle).

You can also use on your face which is a plus. It definitely seems more gradual than some “express” self tanners but I do have some color after only 1 use. If you dont have a mitt, Try using disposable gloves or be prepared to immediately wash your hands 15 times after.

I used my bare hands once and immediately washed with my bath and body works foaming hand soap. Nothing. Hands still brown. I tried face scrub. Much better but still tinted. So then I washed my hands twice with orange dial liquid hand soap and that did the trick!.

Love this lotion! I’ve been using for over a year now and it’s great! I have a congenital health condition, had to quit the tanning bed. Tried another brand but it too unsafe, (has ingredient starts with a D, can’t remember but it’s very bad!) Sooo, back to searching, found this and it’s the Very Best.

I only need it like once a month and I put same amount of lotion I’d use with regular lotion. Work’s perfectly for me. I just take a shower, exfoliating, and put lotion on as usual. Just have to wash the palm of your hands a few times afterwards.

I’ve never had any issues with this lotion. I am fairly fair skinned Caucasian btw so if you want a Noticeable tan look just use twice a month. I like just not being pale lol Like Sunkissed, not sun damage!.

I’m so glad I found this. I’m Italian, so my skin is already olive and tan, but during the winter, I hate losing the tan I naturally gain from the summer. By the way, I got the dark color. I put it all over my body in the morning at around noon.

First off, the smell was fine, and the application was smooth. However, the only thing I didn’t like was how oily it felt. I could have just put on too much, but for me personally, I didn’t like feeling sticky.

especially when I tried putting my clothes on later. I noticed a difference in color after about ten minutes. I waited for about three hours, and by then my sister wanted to go out so I decided to hop in the shower and pray it didn’t just all wash off.

Once I got out of the shower, I was sad to see that my skin looked the same as before I applied the self tanner. I pouted for a few minutes and then went on with my day. The next morning I woke up, and I was wayyyyy tanner than I was before.

GUARANTEED. My face was golden and brown, and my waist seriously looked amazing. I went on with my day, and by night, I swear it got darker. I didn’t believe this natural self tanner would work the way the others do – it takes them about 12 hours to develop.

But by how this tanner reacted with my skin, it seems time does it well. Anyways, I’m so glad I got this, and when I run out, I’ll for sure buy more. Of course, nothing beats tanning in the sun, but for winter and less skin damage, this is definitely worth it.

This tanner gives a beautiful, golden color not having seen in most tanners I’ve tried. The instructions must be followed to assure that you get a natural looking tan. I exfoliated in the shower, put on skin cream, and waited until all was absorbed.

Finally, I put on the thin latex free gloves to put on the tanner in strokes carefully not touching the elbows, etc. This tanner dries quickly and my observation shows that once it’s dry, it doesn’t stain your clothes.

I haven’t had to reapply due to the luscious color it gives after a few hours. I’m thrilled I finally found a self tanner I can really use without looking fake. Thank you Simply Radiant! Don’t ever stop making this.

I was really excited to see a self tanning product that also provides sunscreen protection. This comes as a “spray,” but the very first time I tried it, the product squirted out a little bit, then clogged the sprayer.

It is really runny. What I ended up doing to salvage my pricey product was pry the lid and sprayer off, then pour the product into my hand and rub it on. I have to be really careful or it drips all over the place.

It would probably be better packaged in a tube that you squeeze out. It does result in a natural tan, and does work well as a sunscreen.

I don’t write reviews, but I wanted to say: This product is awesome! I have tried fake tanners in the past and they result in looking like you have an orange layer of dirt on your face. This one is so gradual that at first I thought it wasn’t working.

I decided to keep trying for a few more days. After four or five days I looked in the mirror and thought “Oh cool, somehow my face is tan! But when did I go in the sun. ?” It is so natural looking that I didn’t believe it was the bottle!! I will say, it does have that classic fake tanner smell which I do not like, but blessedly it is much fainter than other brands I’ve tried, and it only really smells that way in hours three and four after application.

I recommended this to my friend for her wedding! Great product : -).

I think I’m on my sixth bottle of this product. My daughter and I both use it, and have for the past two years. The bottle actually lasts a lot longer than I would have thought! My teenager uses it basically all over and looks like she’s been at the beach all the time! It is very forgiving and doesn’t leave streaks and blotchy spots like so many other self tanners do.

I use it mainly on my face and chest. Typically I apply it after my Friday shower and it gives a great glow to my face over the weekend and gradually dissipates the following week. I even use it on my upper eyelids, just under my eyebrows.

It adds a little darker skin tone so that I don’t have to worry about eyeshadow too much! Really love this product.

I love this self tanner! The scent is coconuty but fades. This is the first self tanner that doesn’t have that yucky smell! Also I’m very pale and this gradually builds and looks natural without turning orange.

And no rinsing! I put it on after my shower (and even after shaving with no irritation), then by the time I’m ready, it’s dry enough to get dressed. It’s actually a very nice moisturizer at the same time! This is definitely the best I’ve tried and I’ve tried a lot!.

I have used many self tanning lotions and this one is by far the best! It doesn’t have the stinky smell that most self tanners do and it gives a perfect, real sun-kissed looking tan. When I first used it I was surprised by the lotion being black however it easily absorbs into skin and the color makes it easy to see where you have applied and where you didn’t.

I typically apply after showering once a week before bed and by the morning I have a beautiful tan. Just make sure you rub it in completely and allow it to dry before getting dressed.

It gives real looking tan, like as if I would have went tanning for a few weeks. Or been outside. Long lasting. Con is that it takes 30 min to not be sticky. Self tanner smell is the least smelly than I have used for a while.

Con is that really stains your hands so use good scrub to clean them after applications.

I was super excited to try when I got this product. I’ve used it a total of 4 times, I like the color however after only using it 4 times my skin started to react to the product. I broke out in hives.

I became super itchy, it started on my legs, continued up my belly and then to my arms. I liked the “tan look” but it came off in the areas where I had intense itching. I have small scabs on my legs from itching so bad, I had to use hydrocortisone cream to help relieve the itching.

I have been using self tanner for years and have tried many different brands in the process. I gave this product a try because I was looking for a less toxic alternative and was one of the only products I could find that fit those standards.

After a few uses, I can say that would still choose this product over other brands that do use more toxic ingredients. I am very pale so I usually have the problem of looking to “orange” after using self tanner.

This product gives a very natural look and really doesn’t look fake. Since you have to leave it on for a few hours before washing off, I put it on before going to bed and my white sheets are not stained! It lasts for a handful of days, isn’t streaky and a little product goes a long way.

The biggest downside is the smell, which isn’t amazing. But the pros absolutely outweigh the cons and I would recommend this product in a heartbeat.

I applied it twice and got a beautiful and natural looking tan. I had been afraid to try it because I’m naturally lighter skinned and was afraid it would streaK and look orange. It ended up looking how I look when I get that nice golden tan from the beach! I had people asking if I had been at the beach and giving me compliments on my golden glow.

I highly recommend it. It blends in so easily and smells like coconuts, not chemicals. I’m going to apply a new layer today to keep the healthy looking glow that I’ve so been missing since I haven’t been able to travel much this year.

At first I hated this product. It would give me orange patches, and it was hard to achieve a smooth application even after exfoliating. However I found out I was applying it all wrong! For this product you MUST apply a moisturiser on before applying this tanner.

I use the Kora moisturiser. Not only does the colour turn up to be a lot smoother but it doesn’t grab into any dry patches resulting in such a beautiful bronzed glow!.

I originally didn’t like this product as much, which I was surprised about as my experience has shown I adore all Kora products. It ended up I was using it incorrectly, which is typical me and tanning lol.

After speaking to a Kora consultant and making sure I was exfoliating, it is now one moisturiser I use at least every two days. Lovely barely there scent. Reminds me of sugar. Thanks for your assistance team.

This provided a very subtle colour increase. Maybe one shade darker possibly two. I applied it with a tanning mitt, so next time I will use my hands to see if it goes darker. What I like: the ‘fake-tan’ smell is very mild.

(I don’t think it’s possible to create a fake tan that DOESN’T smell like fake tan!) What I don’t like: it is the same colour/texture as the Cream Cleanser and Body Lotion – so when you put it on, you can’t see where you have already applied it.

I prefer fake tans that have a colour to them to help you rub it over your skin evenly. Also, one layer was fine, but I reapplied a day later and I ended up having speckly-looking legs. Will I buy again: probably not the larger tube, but I think I might always have this smaller tube in the bottom of my cupboard for a quick-fix as I head out the door, without having to worry too much about the tell-tale smells of fake-tan following me.

I will use it just to put on my lower legs to make sure I don’t blind people in winter when I’m wearing my 3/4 leggings out walking! I certainly would not be relying on it to provide me with enough tan to be out in my bikinis though.

I LOVE norvell solution! I’m actually a Norvell certified airbrush spray tan artist, but I only spray friends and family for fun- and myself of course bc I’m a spray tan addict. I love the Venetian solution.

It’s a beautiful, natural looking color. It was a deep violet base so it is not orange at all!!!! It gives our skin an amazing glow. This solution is also best for beginners doing airbrush sprays because it is very forgiving as you spray.

I don’t know if there are any cons to this solution. I do prefer the norvell cosmo and cosmo light solutions now that I’ve used them, but they’re also a lot more expensive.

this is the absolute best spray tanning product to DIY at home l. very affordable and easy to apply. no streaking or no orange shain after applying it. the bronzer helps u see where you’ve put the tanner so u don’t over saturate spots.

defintalky would recommend this!! LOVE it! #selftanning #novell.
