Banana Boat Summer Color Self Tanning Lotion, 6oz | Light Medium Color for All Skin Tones, Self Tanner Lotion, Sunless Tan, 6oz

Love this. It gives me just the right amount of tan on my legs so it looks natural and not orangey.

This product was a replacement for an earlier order that had never delivered. Thanks for the prompt response to my inquiry and I am thrilled to get this! It works great, gradually building up the "tan" over a few days of application.

[ ] First, history.I used to fry myself on the beach; the tan would normally appear after the “lobster tan”, that’s just my pale skin’s natural reaction to sun. Then I “grew up”: daily 70 spf sunblock, hats, shade preference, trips to dermatologists. While my skin never looked better than now, I miss the sun-kissed days![ ] Process:This is the second time in my life that I used a self tanner. Once was another brand a few years back, didn’t care for the result.So last night I exfoliated (exfoliating gloves, not just a scrub) and used the mittens to apply the tanning cream, all over except face/neck. Rubbed the back of my hands behind my knees as one reviewer recommended (great idea!) This morning, I see somewhat subtle but sure natural looking tan. Looks like you got in the sun for a day, without sunscreen. I missed some spots on top of my feet and thus able to see how tan I got everywhere. One of the elbows got too dark (even though I moisturize my skin daily) and similar darker areas around my ankles -so better to either avoid the areas like that, or moisturize prior. Also noticed it makes any dark marks look slightly darker. So yes, I intend to layer today again (avoiding elbows, and moisturize ankles prior to tan lotion) and see more tan.[ ] Smell.To me, it does smell like the tanning lotions do, but not as potent at all.[ ] Streaking.Nothing! All even.[ ] Moisturizing.Unsure why so many reviewers mention that it’s moisturizing. They never tried vaseline essential healing lol. This is ‘not drying’, that’s about it. Which is pretty good for a product like this. I woke up in the morning, and moisturized all over because it didn’t feel like my skin got enough.[ ] New vs old formula.Unsure what the Old formula was like that so many complaining about. Attached is the photo of what was received, and I love it. For almost a first time user it exceeded the expectations.[ ] CleanAfter I applied the cream I let it completely dry. It doesn’t leave marks on furniture. Did not stain the sheets.Face and neck-I use a Jergens tanning product on my face, as I believe that something that wasn’t intended for tour face will clog the pores and do more damage than good. Sounds like some reviewers apply on their face. After spending all my cash for esthetics at my dermatologist office, I’d much rather spend $10 for a product formulated specifically for faces 😃

the instant color is nice except if you put the lotion on somewhere that has folds of skin (like a stomach) or you sweat before the product dries. its been warm here and I found a weird sweat/drip mark on my upper leg, another on my chest and one on my lower leg. but otherwise, its great and the smell isn't 'chemically' like other self tanners are.

I have been using this self tanner for years. It's the only one I can find that actually makes your skin look tan and not orange. I apply a few times to get my desired result. It takes 2-3 hours to start showing the darker color, but never is too dark or obvious. Be sure to wash your hands after application though.

Orange tone

I’ve been using this for years. Still one of the best priced self-tanners in the market and works great without streaking.

I've been using this brand of sunless tanner for over ten years and I won't use anything else. It looks natural, it doesn't smell bad, and the price is awesome. You don't need anything more expensive. This works great. I am quite fair skinned and I get the Fair/Medium shade. It only takes about 2 applications to get natural color and it deepens with each additional application. It's easy to adjust the depth of color with how often and how much you apply. This blends so nicely. No streaking.
