Tanologist Brightening Daily Glow Body Lotion- Medium/Dark, Gradual Tanning Lotion, No Fake Tan Smell, Streak-Free & Natural Looking Self Tanner, Vegan, 8.45 fl. oz/250 ml Tube

I am 45 years old and don't like to tan my skin, because of skin health and aging reasons. I am avid sunscreen wearer. I have light/medium skin. I purchased fair the fair to medium glow body lotion. My skin can be on drier side. Using lotion is a must for me after showering. I love this product. So many self-tan products are stinky and do not moisturize enough. This product does not stink and my sensitive/dry skin feels hydrated. The fair to medium took several applications to do anything to my skin. Even though I love the product, I may buy light to medium next. After about 5 applications, my skin is looking glowy and has a bit of a tan. I am getting some color pay off. The pay off is enough for Fall and Winter. As with any self-tan product, I would recommend exfoliating at weekly at the very least. Pay close attention to the knees, elbows, folds hands, and feet. Wash your hands after application. You can go in afterwards and apply to the tops of the hands and feet with a kabuki brush if you want. I find that to be the easiest way. I love this product. It is the best have found so far for a gradual and buildable tan without the downsides that so many self-tanners have. I highly recommend trying this product if you want a little color and are looking for something that actually provides some skincare benefits. If you skin is light, start with a lighter shade.

To be clear, the only other gradual tanner I’ve used is Jergen’s Natural Glow. I just recently started using this one, and I definitely like it much better - mostly because of the formula. The description is definitely accurate that it is lightweight, dries quickly, and doesn’t leave your skin tacky or oily. That’s the best part. It has a gel-like consistency rather than a full blown lotion, which makes it much easier to rub in and feel confident that you won’t miss any spots and look streaky. Because it’s thinner, I feel like I use less of this product since it spreads much more easily. The scent is also really nice. Smells like cherries to me! It also dissipates pretty quickly, so you don’t feel like you smell like some unintended scent all day. It’s definitely not overpowering. Either way, the smell of this product and the consistency is definitely better than Jergen’s. Not only that, I think the results are better too. I’ve only been using this product for a few days and people have already noticed the tan. It doesn’t wash off easily in the shower, either. Remember to wash your hands well after applying, or you will have orange stains in between your fingers and on your palms.. and they will take days to come off! This is a great product all around and I will continue to buy it, especially during the winter months.

I am a very pale person with very sensitive skin. I got the "Fair to Medium" lotion, applied some all over in the evening, and let's just say I fell asleep looking like Kirsten Dunst, woke up looking like Eva Longoria ;-) But in all seriousness, I was surprised by how quickly the tan started to develop. The next day I could wear shorts without feeling like I was walking around with pasty-white legs. It definitely gives you a natural, glowing tan! After the second application, I decided to rinse off the lotion after about 6 hours because the tan was developing a bit too quickly, and I wanted to take it slow to get the right shade. One area on my arm was streaky, but I think it's because I was impatient and didn't spend enough time blending in the lotion. I'd highly recommend this product! No complaints about the scent. It's got a very faint tanning lotion smell, but not nearly as bad as the stuff we used in the early 2000's. (Not as strong as Jergens.)

So I have a dark skin tone (cinnamon you might call it) but in the winter I turn an unfortunate shade of wet cement. I get so pale that Ive consider changing my ethnicity on my drivers license for the months of Nov-February I leave the house in the morning and it’s dark, and return home in the dark . And in the interim hours my concerned coworkers ask me if I’m sick because my normal brown skin has turned a sunless, weak Victorian child clotted cream yellow. This lotion saved me from asking my boss to install a sunning room in the office! It’s a buildable color so I didn’t just walk in one day and BAM I’m brown again. It gently builds upon itself so that I simply look like I go home and spend a half hour responsibly sunning in the Maldives. I use it on my face and some how don’t breakout. The lotion is white but turns my skin a lovely shade of nutmeg over the course of the week. It smells like strawberries. I don’t know what kind of magic this is but I’m ditching my foundation and I’ve never looked more refreshed. 10/10

I love love love love this self tanning lotion. It has a very soft, but pleasant scent, and doesn’t leave behind stains on my clothes. I’ve gotten so many “you’re glowing!!” compliments. I noticed a light tan within a few hours and it doesn’t wear away patchy. It’s my actual favorite.

It's nice,smells nice,looks nice,price was nice,but I'm getting color on my hands from applying it on me.Cant come off.

I was pleasantly surprised by Tanologist Firming Daily Glow Body Lotion. I love that this is a gradual tanner and it can be built up. I do not notice and streaking or splotchiness when using this lotion. I notice a slight splash of color after one application. I will usually apply it again the next day and that is when I notice a fair bit of color. I will say that this lotion does have that self-tanner scent by the end of the day. It is very light and tolerable though. From my experience, the color fades beautifully and does not look bad when it begins to wear off. I always apply a small bit of lotion on my elbows, knees and ankles before application just to prevent color from gathering up on my more dry area. The color also looks amazing on hands and feet. I always wash my hands immediately after application and have never really had an issue with my hands discoloring. This lotion is fantastic at giving me a tan color and never turning me orange! It also does not transfer. I wear a lot of white and also have white bed sheets and have never seen any color transfer. Overall, this tanning product is absolutely amazing and I would hightly recommend it. For reference, I have used Jergens wet skin gradual tanner in the past and was never blown away by it due to it transferring and sometimes the color would look splotchy. I find that the Tanologist daily tanner is way better. I also can not speak to the firming claim due to me not having used this product long-term and also I am someone who workouts daily, so I would probably not notice any benefits to begin with.

I’ve been using another mainstream brand for a while when I tried this brand and I think I’m hooked! The color is great, the dry time is quick and there hasn’t been any transfer. My favorite part is the smell is actually so nice! I love it! It is a bit thin in consistency, so I like to mix with a regular body lotion or oil just to make sure I’m moisturizing enough, but overall, I’ve been loving it.
