b.tan Dark Clear Self Tan Gel | Glow Your Own way, Low Key Glow - Transfer-Resistant Sunless Tanning Gel, Gradual Darker Bronze, Packed with Hyaluronic acid & Vitamin C, 16 Fl Oz

I.love.it!I use self tanners frequently because I use sunscreen religiously and do not get tan in the winter all at. I was running out of my current brand and decided to try this gel.First, the tan is great. I think it looks natural and the color definitely deepens with multiple applications. I did manage to get quite a stark contrast in one side of my left foot, but a loofah got it back to natural again. You could get pretty dark with this, doing a few layers over a few days.The gel spreads & blends easily and does not streak. I do not have any uneven color. Even at the wrists and ankles, it looks good. Didn't take me than 5-10 minutes to dry.I read it has no odor and it's moisturizing. Not exactly true. There is a slight smell, but not overwhelming. It is less than other products I've used. I do not feel moisturized after using it. It's drying, so make sure to use other lotion.Other than that, I'm feeling pretty good about this purchase!

You read on here all the time - I don’t usually do reviews - I’m really that person. But when shopping for a self tanner I truly relied on reviews to help me decide what was going to work best for me! I was terrified before the first application - what if I stain streaky? What if I turn orange? What if this gets all over my clothes! After scouring the internet about this particular clear gel product here’s my run down so you don’t have to waste four hours of your life putting all the pieces together - I did it for you. 1. This product is well worth its weight in gold - over and over and over. For every single day im not naturally sun kissed bronze - b.tan clear gel is my go to. 3. Invest $5 in a box of latex gloves. Those work hand over fist better than any tan mit they sell and they don’t absorb and waste the product. 2. Lather one limb at a time in a post sun lotion I used the green hawiaan tropic post sun lotion. One limb at a time. Then when it’s semi dry add the clear gel. Left leg lotion. Left leg clear gel. You get the picture. The lotion helps distribute the product evenly. I have zero splotching or streaking. Like ever. 3. Light layer of lotion on tops of hands and feet, then clear gel with a flat make up brush. Brilliant results. 4. Light layer of make up brush applied gel on the face, neck and shoulders. 5. When your done dispose of the gloves and wash just the palms of your hands so you don’t have bronze arms and pasty hands. 6. Air dry and then literally move about your day. No transfer. No fuss. Just beautiful hydrated skin that looks like you just returned from the tropics. Do it. You won’t be disappointed.

So far this is one of the best self tanners I have ever used. It's clear, doesn't have that weird smell and starts working within a couple hours. The color is subtle and natural looking with no streaking. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because I applied it yesterday so haven't tested how long it lasts.

Bought with a mitt, first time using one and it really is smoother application and results than using just hands. Very happy with my slight golden tint. I’d tried b.tan forever before and it had cool undertones which might work for some skin tones but looked like bruising on me (I’m fair, blonde, blue eyed). This clear gel was easy to apply, not sticky or greasy, dried quickly, can’t transfer as not tinted, with less noticeable smell. Most importantly it looks like a natural golden tan. One application was enough for my face to look sun-kissed, color was noticeable on my legs but I wanted more there so used two days in a row, now happy with that color. It doesn’t take much so one bottle might last me all summer, great value.

Hi! I purchased this product to get a quick, noticeable tan and to avoid long hours of needless sun or UV rays exposure and the expense of tanning sessions. This was my FIRST experience with a self-tanning product of any kind (e.g., lotions, gels, mousses, serums, etc.). Overall, the glow this tanning gel gives you is AMAZING. As a clear gel, you probably wouldn't anticipate the results this self-tanner provides. Ultimately, the product will bronze your skin, but it will also leave a faint orangey undertone. Importantly, both a downside and an upside of this product IS that the gel is clear. So, although it is transfer-resistant, there is no guide to show where you have and have not applied the product.Below are longer explanations related to the product's moisturization, scent, and use.When first applied, the product's scent is coconut-like and pleasant. However, an hour after the application, the dried gel smelled odd. Unfortunately, the smell does not disappear. Instead, it clings to you. I could smell it on my skin and asked a friend whether or not they could detect the odor. Admittedly, my friend pressed their nose almost directly against my skin, but they could also smell it. Although scents rarely bother me, eventually, the product began to smell undeniably unpleasant. At last, I showered and scrubbed myself twice, but the smell lingers. If you are sensitive to smells or odors, reconsider purchasing and using this product.Fortunately, the product did not irritate my skin. Although the product claims to "give you the juiciest, moisturized glow," I did not find it moisturizing. But the gel did NOT dry out my skin either. Admittedly, I did not purchase this product for its supposed moisturizing benefits. Ultimately, its lack of moisturization does not upset me. Indeed, other customers might have thought it to be moisturizing.Overall, there are several points I want to address. First, I want to emphasize the "rinse-free" label. The product states that it is a "rinse-free" tan gel, and IT IS. However, I experienced some confusion during my first application. I purchased a bundle that included the tanning gel and an application mitt. The two items arrived together in a plastic package that directs you to rinse off the gel after setting it for several hours.During my first application, I only applied the gel to my legs. Eventually, I rinsed off (i.e., without using soap) and dried off with a towel. I discovered large, discolored smears where I had wiped the gel off my legs. Although the gel was dry, it did not react well after rinsing. Overall, IF you purchase the tanning gel and mitt bundle, please DO NOT RINSE ALTHOUGH THE BUNDLE BAG INSTRUCTS YOU.The Glow Your Own Way bottle states that it is rinse-free. After my second application on my upper body, I wore the gel for twenty-four hours before showering. So, how did the tan react to a complete shower (i.e., with soap)? It reacted well! My skin has a moderate bronze tone. Several of the uneven dark patches disappeared. Ultimately, I cannot guarantee the longevity of this tan. But I predict it will last three to four more showers.The second point I want to address is the non-transfer guarantee. I found the "transfer-resistant" claim to be TRUE. Since the gel is clear, immediate transfers will not happen. However, I recommend waiting about thirty minutes until the gel absorbs before lying or sitting on furniture. I did not test that hypothesis; it is merely precautionary advice. My clothes did not stain. However, I did rest my forearms against my thighs several times, and the gel did transfer to my skin while it was tacky.The last point I want to mention is the method of application. Although the bottle encourages you to, I did not use my bare hands to apply the product. (Considering how it stained my skin in several spots, I do NOT suggest using your bare hands). Instead, during the first application, I used a rubber glove. If you use a rubber glove, you will not waste as much product since the gel does not absorb into the mitt. However, you will NOT need to dispense as much product onto your rubber glove. If you use a tanning mitt, you will use more product as it absorbs into the fabric. However, as a first-time self-tanner, I found the application easier with a mitt than a rubber glove.I believe I applied the gel more evenly with the mitt. Therefore, I recommend using an applicator mitt with this product.
