b.tan Medium Light Self Tanner Mousse - 1 Hr Express Fake Tanning Water

Love this stuff! I’ve used it all summer and it’s kept me looking naturally sun-kissed with a beautiful, warm glow. It’s super easy to apply—I use a mitt—and it goes on evenly every time with **no streaks**. It also has a surprisingly pleasant scent, nothing heavy or overpowering like some self-tanners. Definitely a keeper!

Ok, here’s a real review from an expert tanner. I have tried drug store tanners to Sephora tanners to high-end tanners like Loving Tan. This stuff is gold! I think some of the bad reviews might be from people that don’t know what they are doing. First of all, NEVER WAIT JUST AN HOUR for any self tanner. I don’t care what the bottle says. I don’t care if it’s a $7 bottle or $100. You need to wait 8 hours for results. Beauty is pain people! Second, as a person who likes to be 10 shades darker I am VERY hard to please. I like to be very dark so most tanners do not cut it for me. I chronically do 2-3 applications for one tanning session. I wait for one application to dry for 5 minutes and then apply 1-2 more. Even then some self tanners do not cut it for me. Tan AF tanner is definitely a beautiful darker color. I was shocked that a $10-$14 bottle could achieve a fairly dark color. My one complaint is that it was 3 applications to achieve the results in the photo but I love the color. Third, people have complained about this coming off of sheets or the grey color (second photo). Omg. That’s just silly to me. The grey color gave me BEAUTIFUL dark color without a hint of orange. Tan AF nailed it in the color department. I’m not a golden tan. I’m a deep dark brownish tan. Incredible. I wore it all night. Very little depositing of color on sheets or clothes, which is awesome. They use very little bronzer in their solution. Two thumbs up from me. Fourth, it dries so quickly. I’ve had sooooo many self tanners be sticky as hell and annoying to have on for 8 hours. This stuff dries fast with no sticky residue feeling!!! Amen to that! And for the first time ever....there is virtually no scent. No other tanner has achieved that! Impressive. Fifth, the price is awesome. You can grab this at Walmart for $10. That’s amazing even if I apply 3 times. The bottle is a great size. Not too small but not on the large side either. I freaking love this stuff. Give it a try!! And, make sure that the week before application you are heavily moisturized, shower and exfoliate right before application, and wait the full 8 hours!!

Im currently 8 months pregnant and wanted a tan for my baby shower and maternity photos. Now I am a fair natural skin girlie so it takes a ton for me to get a tan, being in the humid michigan summer and pregnant id rather sit in my ac then try to catch a normal tan.. So im very very familiar with self tans and spray tans as that is my normal method to tan. Now I usually use saint topez or coco and eve self tanner those are the go tos, but I wanted to find something that was cheaper since im applying it almost weekly or biweekly. So the cost was the main reason I was interested in this product. Now here's the important part, I read the reviews before purchasing. Some said it was wonderful color, some said it wasn't dark enough. Now the product says for a darker tan leave on until you find the color you want. So I left mine on for about 10 hours as I applied overnight. So applied at 930pm, rinsed at 730am. The product states you only need 1 hour, WRONG! I didnt notice a true tan until around 4-6 hours. Now the product states you will not be orange so thats why i left it on longer, with being 8 months pregnant Im rarely sleeping at night so I was able to truly monitor the color difference each hour. And for me a Dark Tan didnt appear until around hour 8. So my 10 hours it still isnt as dark as what im used to with the previous branded products but I will say im not orange, even after leaving it on longer then directed. It dries very quickly and doesnt have a horrible scent, I actually enjoyed the scent of the product, and there wasnt a dry after tan scent that usually hangs around. And when I went to rinse there really wasn't color coming off which to me makes me feel good bc that means the color did truly apply and absorb into the skin. Also it didnt affect any of my white fabrics I have all over my home, my sheets and comforter are a white set, after applying and drying I wear a white robe ZERO transfer. So I do really like this product, I do recommend it. I just advise, you might need to leave it on until you get the true color you want. I would not at all rinse between 1-4 hours as listed. I will re-edit and apply a photo of the color to see the true tan color after 10 hours when I get some photos back. But if your questioning purchasing I say do it, the cost and product is truly worth it just plan to apply and sleep with it on!!!

I was prepared to hate this product, but WOW, just wow. It is fantastic and I will definitely be buying it again and using it in my regular line up of summer beauty products. And you can't beat the price. For how affordable this is, I was not expecting it to be this good. Let me be clear. I haven't used self-tanners in a really long time. I'm talking maybe 5 years, but probably more like 7 to 10 except for a brief foray into using a light product that I bought a yard sale that didn't work at all. And let me tell you that either this one is insanely good, or in that loooong time frame of my absence, self tanners have improved. A LOT. They used to stink and be super sticky and gross and orangey. This one is not. It is amazing in every way. So I'm going to write a review and it's going to be long for the people who really need to know what they're getting before they get it. If you're not that person, this isn't for you, sorry. I'm also going to include directions for all the people out there who will try this half-heartedly and say it didn't work. That bugs me. So if you want to know the TRUE scoop and all the details on this product, read this, or skim it at least. First of all the only, and I mean ONLY, reason I'm giving it 4 instead of 5 stars is because the naming conventions are idiotic. They're meant to be cute and edgy with their flirting with profanity but the honest truth is it just makes it more confusing. This is important because I am super pale and I need the most bang for my buck with color. I had to Google and click on two websites to figure out that the one that I got, Tanned AF, is level 4 out of 5. There is a darker one if you want that, but I'm too lazy to Google it again and figure out what it is. That said, this stuff is amazing. It is literally the least smelly of any tanner I've ever used in my life. Now maybe tanners have improved in that way (remember I haven't used one in a really long time) and they're all like this now, but I don't know. I'm just impressed by how little it smells, even after it sits on your body for a while. The next thing you need to know is that everyone is reviewing it and saying you need to exfoliate, and this is super true. DO IT! I exfoliated for two days using a nice gritty exfoliator and exfoliating gloves and that's a really important step. I probably could have done it for one more day to prepare. The next thing you need to know is that applying is WAY better with a tanning mitt. I have never used one before and it was wonderful. I would recommend getting more than one because I needed multiple coats and my tanning mitt was drying from being washed out, so I couldn't use it the third time. Okay, so now the directions. First, lotion your rougher areas like your knees. Then get your tanning mit on and really slather the stuff on there and rub it in evenly. I can't emphasize this enough. If you rub it in really well, you'll get a beautiful, even tan. I don't know why people are complaining about the gray color because it really helped me to me make sure I was rubbing it in with even strokes and not letting anything get clumped up anywhere. The next thing you need to know is be PATIENT. On me, it absolutely took at least 6 hours to develop. At first it looks like it's doing nothing. Just wait. I actually recommend putting it on right before you go to bed and then letting it develop overnight. Do NOT wash it off after an hour like it says in the directions, for any kind of reason! That said, it dried really fast and didn't feel super sticky even though I put on two coats on to begin with. I just put on a dark cotton dress and went about my business. This is an amazing improvement in self tanners because I used to feel absolutely sticky and gross for HOURS with my old ones back in the day. I even put on a third coat right before bed and let it dry and it didn't make my sheets all smelly and sticky. It should be noted that I had to put the third coat on with my hands (because my tanning mitt was still drying after washing it out) and I just did it super quickly and rubbed it in well. Then I washed my hands very thoroughly and I did not get tan hands. This is really where I could also see that it wasn't smelly because even though it had been on my hand they hardly smelled that all. Lastly, the color is TERRIFIC!! I get tan on my arms from working in the garden all summer, so I know what my true "tan" color should look like from that situation. This is a very true to color, beautiful golden brown like no tanner I've ever had before. Way to go b.tan! I'm super impressed overall. If you've tried self-tanners in the past and didn't like them, or have been wanting to dabble in self-tanning and are willing to take all the steps, get this product!! You will not be disappointed. And remember, this is coming from a super white, pale, pasty person who hasn't used tanning products in a long time. I was going to be super hard to please, but they did it!!

I have used many sunless tanners. I was diagnosed with melanoma 5 years ago so I can't be the sun worshiper I used to be but I love having color! This is my absolute favorite! It drys fast, does not smell bad, and gives me great color that lasts at least a week. Also, it does not stain my sheets which most I've tried have done that. I make sure I exfoliate, and usually put it on twice about 2 hours apart. After I put it on I wear lose clothes after running a hair dryer on a cool setting over my skin. I don't shower until the next day. You notice color rinsing off in the water, but after a few seconds it stops and you're left with a really nice tan. :)

I’m giving this 3 stars, as I think it gave a good color. That’s said, I’m glad it wasn’t expensive because I don’t think I’m going to give it a second shot. I’ve used self tanners for at least 20 years, so I’ve used plenty of good ones and more than enough not so good ones. The good with this one: the color. The not so good: 1-it was slow to absorb. Rubbing it in felt like it took 2-3x longer than any other self tanning mousse I’ve ever used. I wear latex surgical gloves when I apply it so maybe a mot or brush would work better. I feel like a lot of product is wasted with those, so gloves are my preference. 2- It took a long time to dry once I got it on. At one point, a couple of days in, I used an alcohol swab on a spot and the color came right off. I guess this could also be classified as “good”, when you have a sour you didn’t mean to tan (elbow, finger webbing, etc”. It’s usually meant impossible to get rid of those once you realize it’s there. I didn’t try alcohol for that, but the way it removed color from the middle of my leg, I imagine it works at least help. (Note: I wasn’t rubbing hard or for more than a second. I was just doing a small spot prior to an injection). 3- And last but not least, the color faded very patchy. I feel like any brands I’ve used in the last 5 years have all faded fairly even, but this was incredibly patchy. I hope others have a much better experience. I could get by with some of these, but as long as it took to absorb, I was almost done before I take even got started!! It’s just not worth that kind of time up front for me, for these results.

I really love this tanning spray! It goes on smoothly and gives my skin a beautiful, natural-looking glow without looking too orange. The color builds nicely and leaves an even finish. It’s also easy to apply and perfect when I want a little extra color. I’m really happy with the results and would definitely use it again!

PROS: this is super affordable, yields a beautiful tan, the smell is not offensive, it’s easy to apply and is light enough to make any errors in blending unnoticeable. CONS: sticky as hell, the stickiest tanning product I’ve ever used, and although the smell isn’t off-putting; there is still the telltale self tan odor that lingers for a day. Overall, I give this a good rating based on the affordability and results. The gel version of this product is much better in my opinion, even though it’s harder to blend. The gel isn’t sticky and doesn’t smell as strongly.

Il miglior che ho usato in vita mia!

When it first came out on the mitt I though it was soooo dark! It was almost black! Don't let this scare you. When you wash it off it looks super natural. Great tanning product for those of us that wouldn't use self tan products very often. Make sure to exfoliate off old tan well before reapplying.

Excellent. Not patchy or too dark.

This is so easy to use! I spray my face at night before going to bed and wake up with a nice tanned look. Not orange, thank god. I’m very pale and most tanning products go orange on me. The smell isn’t too bad but there is a slight one. Great purchase!

Great self tanning
