Organic Self Tanner Lotion - Realistic Fake Tan & Self Tan Lotion, Clear Non Toxic Sunless Tanner, Body & Face, Vegan, Cruelty Free, Natural Self Tanning Lotion for Fair to Medium Tones

Let me start by saying, I have tried every single self-tanning product I could get my hands on, over the course of over ten years. I've tried the one's from the drug-store. I've tried the one's from the Department store. I've ordered one's online from facebook pop-ups. And I've tried the whole section's at Ulta and Sephora. I keep coming back to BAHAMA TAN, for a multitude of reasons. Let me name a few of them and their pro's and con's. My longtime favorite was always: St. Tropez Classic Bronzing Mousse. I have used this for years on and off. The smell isn't too smelly and the color goes on nice, looks nice and fades evenly. St. Tropez is a great sunless tanner, but for me, only the mousse option. The water spray and the oil, not so good. I've also used: Il Makiage Mousse. This is a facebook, trendy sunless tanner product line. The smell was way too much and the color and fading were just ok. Not worth the hype. Another line is the: Loving Tan Bronzing Mousse. This is alright. I will say that I enjoy the smell the most of any sunless tanner as it smells like a yummy cupcake. No smelly headache later while it's developing. The downside to Loving Tan is that the color comes out too dark for my liking and the fading is really bad. I stay moisturized, and yet it still faded in patches. Just not good. Another brand is: Vita Liberata Bronzing Mousse. Like the other's, just okay. I will say, the smell of this one is very strong. Headache strong. Offensive, strong. For that reason alone, it almost doesn't matter how good a color looks later. This was just to name of few of my product's from this year. I keep coming back to: Bahama Tan Lotion. The smell is beachy. The color is perfect. Not fake, not orange, not purple or blue. Just tan. And the price is perfect. I am hyper sensitive to smells and I get headaches easily. With that said, I have never found a sunless tanner that has ZERO scent. Even if it says 'fragrance free', that just means they aren't putting any of their own extra fragrances in it. Once it hits the body and your chemicals interact with it, there will always be a scent, no matter what. Long story short, I highly recommend Bahama Tan. it's been wonderful for me.

I am a pale red head and I do not get in the sun without spf 60 on because I have had melanoma. This is a great way to have a natural tan without the sun. I have tried a lot of sunless tanners and hate the smell of either the perfume fragrance they add to it or the strong self tanning smell after developing. This product has only a hint of coconut smell while developing and a slight very minimal tanner smell the first day after. I am sensitive to perfumes and always buy fragrance free lotions and don’t wear scents of any kind. I use a tanning mitt when applying the product. I apply it all over my body including my face. I wait 30 minutes before putting clothes on. I let it develop for 7 hours before showering. I wear loose dark clothes while it’s developing and I have never had it stain anything I’ve gotten it on. It is not fully developed until the next day. This stuff is very natural looking no streaks and no orange. I use Neutrogena Deep Clean exfoliating foam before tanning. I also use Neutrogena fragrance free body lotion and Eucerin fragrance free in shower lotion while I am maintaining the tan. I can get the tan to be nice and golden for a solid 4-5 days and then I exfoliate with still a hint of color. So I usually apply it on Monday, exfoliate on Saturday, and exfoliate on Monday before reapplying to give you an idea of how long it last. It fades very naturally without the freckled cracked orange appearance of some tanners. The tan doesn’t look freakish on the exfoliating days before reapplying tanner it just fades and you look sun kissed.

Overall Bahama Tan is an OKAY self tanner. Smell is not overwhelming or harsh. I do not think it has the self tanner smell. I applied with a mitt so I did not have any streaking and it applied evenly. The color guide is helpful but can make you nervous until the color guide is washed off. So don't sweat it until you take a shower. It will look DARK. The first two times I applied I had showered and exfoliated. Once I washed it off it did give an even natural color. But I expected more color with a level 2. It was subtle after 2 back to back applications. I let it fade and reapplied. I had to use a good bit to achieve a more noticeable color. I am happily surprised with how it looks on my feet and ankles. The color guide can make you think (Oh Crap) but again it washed off and my feet looked natural. Drying was fairly quick. In my opinion, a lot of product is needed to get a darker color so if you are a frequent self tanner you may go through the product quicker but I would recommend.

I have tried many different self tanners and most have been either unnatural in color, not enough color, or just streaky formulas. Using Bahama Tan has been a pleasant experience for me for the most part. I really like that the majority of the ingredients are natural and non-toxic. The color comes up quickly as a golden bronze which is deeper than golden but not as dark as bronze. I use on my face and body without any streaks or skin reactions. The only possible downside is that it does leave behind a bit of an odor as self tanners do. It would be nice to not have any odor but maybe this is not possible with self tanners? Not sure. Also, the color comes off A LOT the same day applied until you shower so be mindful of this when wearing light colored clothes or sleeping on white linens. Overall, I recommend for sure.
