Tanologist Medium Self Tan Mousse, Clear Self-Tanning Mousse, Streak-Free, Natural Glow, No Fake Tan Smell, Long Lasting, Clean Ingredients, 6.76 fl. oz/200 ml Bottle

This stuff is affordable and works well. I used my hands the first time and the color was nice- did leave some darker spots on my ankle but the directions say to use a glove applicator. I purchased a cheapie glove and the application was much better. It takes about 15-25 minutes to dry so I would not advise trying it if you’re in a hurry. Will purchase again!

I’m super pale and I find that the Dark mousse needs about 4 back to back applications to be the darkest it can be. Basically 2x daily applications to get the darkest shade fast. I apply the 1st application the night before and make sure to get my hands. The only part of my body during this application that will actually develop a tan are hands, kind of just working to “prime” my body for the next applications and not develop much at all. In the morning I’ll shower as usual then afterward do the 2nd application SKIPPING my hands. I’ll apply extra to coats to the areas that fade the quickest/take the longest to develop then use baby powder to set it. On the evening of the second day, when I take my third shower, I’ll exfoliate my hands to even them out and use a very soapy sponge to lightly exfoliate my entire body - this step is crucial - I make sure to focus on any darkness that may have accumulated on my knees/elbows or any areas looking patchy. After the shower I do my third application and make sure to do my hands again and again, apply extra coats to any areas that take forever to develop. I will apply extra to any part of my face that hasn’t developed well OR to the places I want to tantour. On the morning of the third day my tan will be pretty much at the shade I want, but I’ll double after my shower and apply a 4th layer, skipping the hands. I know it’s a lot, but it’s worth it because Tanologist is hands down the most FOOOOLPROOF self Tanner I’ve ever used. Like, I’ve never used anything that fades as well as this does. The fact this is needs to be built up is a Pro rather than a con because there’s literally no way that you can accidentally mess this up (unless you don’t blend it well or don’t blend it into dry skin). If you use moisturizer prior to this product, it will develop much slower. If you sweat while you are wearing this, it will not develop at all. Skin needs to be kept completely dry. I really recommend using baby powder/body powder to dry the skin and tone down the scent of it. This doesn’t dry my skin out or make me itch like Btan does, also, this has never caused me any skin issues or acne. This is wonderful on the face. Word of warning, once the tan is built up, if you don’t moisturize your skin the tan will start breaking down, impart a “dried up cracked riverbed” look and appear as if it’s flaking off. Using a good moisturizer will extend the tan’s longetivty for a week or longer, but I find that I need to apply it to my face every 2-3 days because I double cleanse and use a sponge to exfoliate my face daily. No complaints, highly recommend it! One bottle gets a minimum of 4 maximum of 5 treatments, and more = more.

I've applied this 3 different ways so far:1. My bare hands using a tanning applicator brush2. Latex gloved hands using a tanning applicator brush3. Latex gloved hands.I'll say the second method yielded the best results I believe... I still noticed one or two areas that were somewhat paler than others despite careful attention, but not terribly noticeable to others. I do recommend gloves or vigourous hand washing post application if you want to avoid yellow-brown fingers.Overall, I don't find this the most reliable tan method (compared to sun) because my results have been a bit varied even after watching videos, but it smells great, it's quick and easy, it definitely works at tanning, and it's no transfer. I think maybe it's up to the user to find the best method of application and takes a bit of trial and error.

I love this tanner - I’m a fair skinned person, and this tans dark, I apply at night and by morning I’m tanned! It lasts me at least 3-5 days.

Great product color is great and if applied correctly it looks great thats why I'm not showing a picture lol ! But anyway it goes on nice and smooth using a mit and is a great value for the money it does transfer so yeah it don't from the bottle but once it starts to develop yes it will transfer to your clothes, sheets whatever so wear loose old clothes and watch them hands knees elbows and feet just saying

Love tanologist! It gives you just the right amount of tan and is streak free! It still has that “fake tan” smell but not as harsh as others.

Decent color, not super orange like others. I'm Hispanic so have a gentle tan after winter and you're even slightly tanned naturally, like me, this will look much better. If you have pale skin it might look more orange-y.It does rub off if you wear clothing even after an hour of pacing and waiting for it to dry! I put it on at 6pm and then pranced around in the nude until 7:20pm I then threw on my pajamas (light loose T-shirt and shorts). The next day the shorts had rubbed a stripe onto my thigh, could it have been applied incorrectly? Perhaps! I'll try the PJ test again for the 3rd application.Don't let Apple cider vinegar anywhere near your skin unless you want zebra stripes or streaks, the ACV washes it away immediately, good to know if you over apply or forget to wash your hands or something. (I spilled acv in the kitchen, whoopsies)Smell is still a bit funky, it smells good going on but when your natural body scent mixes with it, it can be strange, I had two friends try it to make sure it wasn't just me, they experienced the same strong smell, it's not bad, I could smell it more on myself than I could on them. And they said the same about me. It has a slightly powdery scent to it almost and when mixed with our natural body smells it is just kind of chemical-y.I don't hate it, but I don't love it. I probably won't purchase this again though.

Best self tanner on the market. Goes on clear as to not tint towels or clothing. Dries in minutes to a beautiful bronze.
