Self Tanner & Tanning Application Kit - Bundle of Sunless Tanning Lotion Made With Natural & Organic Ingredients, Exfoliation Mitt, Body and Face Applicator Glove for a Professional Self Tan

So far, so good. I received my Beauty By Earth Self Tanning Bundle quickly using Amazon Prime. The bundle came with self-tanner lotion, body applicator mitt, face applicator mitt and the exfoliating mitt which are without a doubt definitely worth it to have when using a self-tanner. I have only once ever used a self-tanner and the whole orange look didn't work for me so until I came across Beauty By Earth self-tanner, I would never even think to use one again. But seeing as I live up in the frigid North and was sick of seeing my pasty white skin I decided to try out this stuff. With ingredients you can pronounce, that's always a bonus. I tried just my legs first before I went to bed figuring this way if I didn't like the results no one would notice and I could send it back. So I prepared my legs and feet (they save shaving right before application can leave orange dots so I refrained from shaving my legs that night) with the exfoliating mitt. Once I was out of the shower and dried off I applied a small amount of body lotion to my knees and feet, let that soak in then proceeded to apply a small amount of the self-tanner to the body applicator mitt and rubbed into my legs in a circular motion (as suggested). I did it a few times making sure my whole leg was covered. I went over my feet and knees last just using the lotion residue left on the applicator mitt. The lotion has a very light scent when applying. I hardly noticed it. It is a light/medium weight white lotion - goes on clear. Fast forward to the morning. Legs looked to be like I got a touch of colour but I couldn't really tell if they were orange or not. I didn't think so. Unfortunately I did not take a picture before I started for comparison. A few parts of my feet and my ankles were a bit darker but I blame that on my lack of application knowledge skills. Since my legs turned out okay, I applied the lotion to my stomach and back the next morning. This time, I did notice a bit of a 'self tanning' smell which I am not too fond of but it isnt too bad. And if I can get a 'tan' then its worth it. That evening my stomach colour matched my legs, with just a touch of colour. The day after that, I prepared my legs (no shaving, exfoliate, cream on feet/knees etc.) and applied another coat on both my legs and stomach. I did my feet and knees but only using the remaining residue that was on the mitt and made sure to rub it in well. I also used a makeup wipe and 'rubbed' down my ankle and a bit over my feet and knees so they didn't get dark. I also bit the bullet and did the rest of my body including my face. The 2nd application on my stomach and legs did seem to give me more of darker sun-kissed, golden colour. So far no blotchy or streaky application. I ensured my lotion was applied everywhere and I used both sides of the application mitt (one side for the lotion and then went over every spot with the other side of it just to be sure). Fast forward a few days. A third coat was applied to my legs and stomach and a 2nd coat to arms, chest and face. I am impressed with the results. Seems that for my skin, the colour builds on itself (for me its 3 or 4 applications - any more than 4 spread out over 2 days may be too 'fake' looking) and I have a nice sun-touched glow. Nothing dark, nothing orange. I don't look like I have been down South for a tropical sun vacation but I am no longer pasty winter white. I think this Beauty by Earth lotion will be fantastic to use before a vacation. Will give you just enough colour to not to look like Casper the ghost until I can get real a real suntan. Plus, much safer for your skin so there is a huge plus. I will recommend it and probably look at other Beauty by Earth products as well.

This was my first time using a self tanner and it worked very well for me. It had a pleasant smell to it during the application process (unlike the typical spray tan smell). This tanning lotion gave me a nice and natural tan with the first coat but, because I was using it for a dance competition, I applied a second coat to make it a bit darker. The color takes about 6-8 hours to fully develop so I put it on after my night-time shower and let it do its magic while I slept. It didn't stain any clothes or sheets. I received several compliments on how natural my tan looked. I found it relatively easy to apply to my skin with the mitt. I only used the smaller mitt on my face as I could easily use the bigger one for the rest of my body. The color of the lotion is white and it doesn't have a guide color so you need to make sure that you rub it in thoroughly and evenly. I recommend testing it out on a body part/area that you can easily cover to get practice in before applying to your entire body. Don't forget to shave your skin at least one or more hours prior to applying the tanner so that it doesn't collect in your pores/irritate your skin and remember to exfoliate your whole body just prior to applying the tanner. Hands and feet are tricky because the skin is dryer than the rest of the body so they can absorb more of the tanner and get darker than you want, especially around your knuckles. I put a thick layer of lotion on my fingers, elbows, knees, ankles, and toes to prevent overly dark/dirty looking skin and that worked well for me. I also used a make-up remover wipe on the palms of my hands, over my finger and toe nails, and over my knuckles after I applied the tanner so that those areas wouldn't get too dark. I used the tanner on my face and it did not cause me to break out at all (I have combination/oily skin). I was a bit worried that it would fade horribly on my face as the skin under my eyes can get really dry and the spray tans I have gotten in the past have faded poorly in this area. However, it faded seamlessly across my entire body and I was rather pleased. The tan lasted me about 7 days (after I applied the second coat of tanner) before I exfoliated it all off. My face did fade faster (only lasted about 4-5 days because I had to wear full face make-up every day for the competition so it got scrubbed more thoroughly than the rest of my body) but I was easily able to hide the color difference with make-up.

Let me start by saying that this self tanner cream is a game-changer! What truly sets this self tanner apart is the natural-looking tan I got with it. With this cream, the result was a beautifully sun-kissed glow that looks like I’ve spent a week on a tropical beach (no orange tones!). And the best part? When I want a deeper tan, I can easily reapply it. I truly appreciate the fact that I can see the list of ingredients and actually pronounce and understand what's in it. All natural ingredients, that leave my skin not just tanned but also super soft and hydrated. If you're in search of a self tanner that will leave you looking like a bronzed goddess without any of the typical drawbacks, this is the product for you. It has an amazing shea butter fragrance, heavenly texture, gives a natural-looking tan, and has an affordable price, it ticks all the boxes for the perfect self tanner! I’ve been using it for some months now and I’m never going back to my pale skin 😂 I shared it with some friends, and they also loved it!

Overall a great product. Here are the good sides of it: -Great smell! The smell is strong and smells like coconut (I loved the smell...smells like a sunscreen smell) and doesn't have that bad smell the day after the color sticks to your skin. -The cream is transparent when you put it on your skin. I've had a few other tanning lotions which were leaving my skin looking like I had been in the mud....only after I took a shower the next day would I be able to look normal. Not this one...you can apply it on yourself and no one can see that you have applied a tanning lotion on..until the next day when you wake up and you are tanned. -I like the color it looks very natural! The less good sides are these: -I am very pale and bought the darker version. I think the color is very subtle on my skin...I don't look really tanned. However I find the color very natural looking so I will still purchase this in the futur. But if you are looking to look really tanned I don't suggest to buy this lotion....or perhaps I didn't put enough cream on myself who knows. -Next time I will not purchase the gloves that come with this. The gloves help put the cream more evenly on your skin and in that, these gloves do a great job! However, these gloves are not impermeable inside and so my fingers keep getting orange!

i am giving this a premature review and will update in the morning once tan has fully developed! So my holy grail has always been josie marans argan liquid gold tanning oil. I had ran out and wanted to venture off to try another organic brand that is good for your skin. As i am currently pregnant so it is important i tried a brand that is good for your skin. I shook this tube as well as possible, will not lie i am no beginner to self tanning but the white cream did scare me a bit as there is no tracker. I had exfoliated the morning of, moisturized my skin from head to toe making sure to give attention to the tough skin the best. Tonight i moisturized my entire body again. Waited for it to settle in real well and also on my knee caps, elbows, cuticles etc. i then applied a thin layer of Bag Balm. Let that settle and then began the tan! This makes all the difference in those areas! I started from the bottom and worked my way up. I was very thorough and on the areas you apply a thinner layer i buffed them all out very well with a makeup brush (as usual) along to my face/hairline as well. .i also took the face mitt and used that to buff those areas as i don't think i will be actually using it for my face. I like the idea of an extra small buffer for my feet, ankles etc. So that came in handy. I highly recommend getting the cream woth the mitt set. For my back i used my self tanning back applicator for the stubborn middle area that's almost impossible to get too, again blending extremely well. The cream blends/spread pretty well. It didn't seem to go on patchy or anything . The smell to me as applying in my opinion is great! It is a subtle vanilla coconut and most definitely nothing artificial smelling. If you have a sensitive nose you will be able to handle this i promise! I am also currently 26 weeks pregnant so if i think the smell is subtle, it definitely is!! Now i just hope it doesn't turn into your usual corn chip smell as it starts to set. I applied before bed so once my review is posted i will revise it and to give my final first thoughts. Fingers crossed it's a winner in my book. You can never go wrong with finding another self tanner you like. So far i was pleasantly surprised and i enjoyed my night of pampering. *********************** UPDATE - i woke up with the most Beautiful tan. Very little streaking, no orange color..beautiful natural bronze shade. It paid off to be extra thorough. As i said blend, blend, blend. I always take a makeup brush and blend the harder areas extra well and i never have an issue. I will say if you have bruises anywhere this will add to the color. So don't be overwhelmed if you think you were the one that wasn't careful enough. In the winter i always get dry cracked skin on ny hands and i have permanent marks from them. So no matter what self tanner i use my hands always look a bit off. It just is what it is..i make sure to go lighter on them and blend extra well. I just applied another round . So far i am really liking it and depending on how the next several trials go i will stick with this one. I am almost in my 3rd trimester and i don't get to be in the sun enough. This self tanner gets the job done in very little time. If you are on the fence just try it. For the price the size is very good and there is a lot of lotion in it. I hope my review helps others!
