Tanceuticals Self Tanner - Dark Self Tanning Lotion for Body - Gives Natural Looking & Long Lasting Sunless Tan – Quick Fake Tan, Bronze Glow - Fresh Coconut Scent & Healthy Ingredients (Dark)

Finally a sun tanner that actually works! The lotion goes on smoothly and easily. No streaking. No awful odor. No inconsistent coloring. The coconut fragrance is not overpowering and I couldn't be happier with the results.

I've been an avid spray tanner for awhile at the salon but decided to give at-home self tanners a try to cut down on some of the cost. I tried a few with varying results but really hit the jackpot with Tanceuticals!First of all, I absolutely love the fresh coconut smell. It's the best smelling self tanner I've ever had. As it develops, the coconut smell does eventually go away, but that nasty DHA scent you get with other tanners wasn't there.I find applying this one really easy. It doesn't have any guide color, but I like that since guide colors are just fd&c coloring. It's such a thin lotion that it's really simple to get a thin, even coat. And because it doesn’t contain all that heavy guide coloring, tanceuticals dries REALLY fast. I mean, it completely dries within about 5-10 minutes. And once it dries, I can barely tell it's there. Plus it's not sticky, which is a very big thing to me. I've tried so many self tanners that are sticky.I used this at night (so it was on about 8 hours). When I woke up in the morning, the color was very noticeable and amazing. It wasn't overpowering, just a natural, bronzey-tan color. Perfect for me.It lasted about 5-6 days before it started to fade. This happens with spray tanning too so I knew exactly how to deal with it to get it to fade evenly. I just exfoliate a little more stringently towards the end of the 5-6 days. Then I have a "blank" canvas for the next application I put on!Tanceuticals cost a little more than cheap, drugstore-type self tanners but I think it's worth it. Since I'm putting this all over my skin, I like that it has botanicals and cosmeceuticals.So overall I love this brand. They make great products and have amazing customer service :)

This is my second time ordering this product, the first time I ordered it directly from the Tanceuticals website. I have tried MANY different self tan products (I’m a redhead, and therefore very pale with zero ability to tan). I have tried gradual tanners like Jergens, Nivea, as well as Target and Walmart brand self tanner lotions. However, I wanted something more instant, and had read lots of reviews and ratings of different products. This one frequently came up, often time as the number one recommended product, and so I decided to give it a try.Things I liked:-The smell is really great, no DHA self tanner smell (both right after applying and the next day). I think it resembles a coconut scent, which I personally like-The consistency is smooth and creamy, and super moisturizing! It’s a CC cream so it’s great for the skin, definitely a bonus-Love the color it produces, very natural, non-orangey and dark enough after just one applicationThings I didn’t like:-Although it’s nice not to have to rinse the color guard off the next morning, it does make it harder to apply. Since you can’t see where you’re putting it, you can easily miss spots. So it’s important to take your time and be thorough-It faded somewhat splotchy after only a few days. This may have been due to me not exfoliating enough (I just use a loofah – a scrub might be better)-It doesn’t last as long as other products, especially foam productOverall, I do like this product better than most self tanners I have tried. The fact that it is a CC cream, smells great, and creates a natural looking tan will lead me to purchase it again. I think it’s just important to REALLY exfoliate, and moisturize each day after applying, to ensure it lasts. Also take time when applying so you don’t miss any spots (don’t skimp on product when applying).

A few years ago I was diagnosed with skin cancer and my dermatologist STRONGLY recommended that I stay out of the sun. As self tanners became the only way I could get a safe tan, I've tried dozens of them over these last few years.Some of them were ok, but I never really found one I absolutely loved. That is, until I tried tanceuticals! I found out about it after reading all the amazing reviews online and seeing a bunch of different celebrities on social media using it.Here's my thoughts on why I like it.First off, it's very easy to use compared to other self tanners I've tried. It's a very thin lotion, which makes it really easy to blend in. Once it's applied, I also like how quickly it dries. And it's not sticky at all which is a HUGE plus. I can't stand when a self tanner sticks to everything touch.It doesn't have any guide color, so you have to be careful when applying. Personally, I don't like those tanners with guide color as they make me look way too dark as the tan develops (and they come off on my bedsheets).The other big thing I like about it is the smell. This one has a really great coconut smell. I can't say enough about it (especially if you've used those self tanners that have that string "DHA" smell)!Once it develops overnight, the color on me is really natural and gorgeous. It's not overwhelming, just a nice, bronze glow.Tanceuticals lasts about 6 days on me before it begins to fade (at which time I just use it again). I moisturize every day so I think that helps.Very happy (repeat) customer right here :)
