SUN Laboratories Ultra Dark Self Tanning Micro Spray (6 oz)

Excellent color, with green undertones which balances out on your skin, and never looks orange. The smell is pleasant on day one, smells slightly like your typical tanner as it develops on day two, but much less than others I've tried. It dries quickly and smoothly and you can see where you've applied it, thanks to the bronzer. The spray mist is great when the spray button works properly. The biggest problem I have is about 1 out of every 3-4 bottles I get has a broken sprayer, which is extremely annoying. Usually, I can manage to get the liquid out and use it manually, but sometimes I have to discard a full bottle.Sometimes, the outer cap requires a great deal of strain and effort to remove, which has, on occasion, caused the sprayer button to get knocked during the ordeal...which causes issues like perhaps crimping or even breaking completely the apparently delicate inner tubing.If only they would fix the sprayer issue, the product would be perfect.

I have tried many self tanners and for a long time I was satisfied with Fake Bake's products, I love their color, slightly olive and very natural. I used the flawless spray and mitt and then switched to the lotion as the spray just didn't last long enough. The lotion gives beautiful color but it smells funny and you will be greasy for a long time. Which I didn't like. Both products also stain clothes and bed sheets. Now this product, I absolutely love, dries fast, no smell after it dries whatsoever. Very smooth beautiful color, slightly less olive then Fake Bake but totally worth it's benefits. It is easy to apply, I found that the overspray from this isn't nearly as bad as fake bakes. I have no streaks, and because it dries fast I could put it on an hour before an event and it would look amazing. Some people say to use a mitt but I just use rubber gloves, I find that the it sucks up the color like a sponge sometimes and you have to use more. I also find that this looks better on my face then fake bake did. Fake bake tended to get into pores and if you had any dry skin it would get in it. It's very blendable and beautiful! I enjoy the sweet smell when you apply it, could be a lotions smell. I definitely recommend this and I am buying another bottle right now. Best I've used so far. Awesome product!!

A casual acquaintance of mine highly recommended this Sun tanning micro-spray so I decided to buy some for my fish-belly white skin. Once it arrived, I decided to experiment on the inner part of my left arm (I'm right handed). Upon spraying, the tanning fluid came out 85% "micro-spray" and 15% sputtering blobs. The result was a fairly uniform thin film (which is wanted) plus many dots/blobs, some quite large, that were peppered throughout and going to look like freakish freckles. I shook the bottle, sprayed into the air to hopefully de-clog the aerosol jet, and tried again on the same arm--- just more of the same! So I tried to rub the tanning spray around to even things out and cursed when I saw that this made things even worse--- instead of making everything uniform, I ended up with streaks and blotches. At this point I abandoned the experiment and tried to simply undo the damage by washing my arm with soap and water, which got rid of most of it. What remained was, surprisingly, a fairly uniformly tan-looked arm... I was expecting worse, given what I'd seen before washing.I don't know if I got a defective bottle of the stuff or what, maybe the sprayer was plugged from the get-go, who knows. But the bottom line is that I'm reluctant to try spraying this stuff on a larger, more visible portion of my body for fear of the spots/blobs/splotches looking like mutant freckles or birthmarks. Maybe I'll experiment again on the other arm some evening soon, after having attempted to clean out the spray jet again, hopefully with better results. Disappointing.

I've used this product for years. It turns out beautifully - The ultra/dark isn't wicked dark, I've applied during winter to pasty-sunless skin and it looks very natural! 😎 TIPS for flawless tan with less mess, or mistakes—-*Exfoliate 1st with a good scrub.*Wear disposable gloves under the mitt to avoid colored palms (order a mitt if you want a perfect look!!)*Prior to spray tanning, apply lotion to hands, wrists, elbows, ankles, heals, knees to help with those dryer areas from getting a darker color.**I prefer standing on a towel in a dry tub and move around with the towel “not lifting” where I planted my feet (otherwise if you step on leftover mist you’ll have weird tanned soles, unless you quickly wipe clean)*I ALWAYS use a mitt to rub small circles after spraying (one arm, one leg) as it’s a challenge keeping every angle evenly sprayed.*After an hour or two, I like to apply a regular lotion for a nicer glow.I’ve also purchased the “overnight” tanning lotion by SUN. They both are equally great products!!

I love this stuff! It is so nice to be able to just spray myself. Although I do not use it on my whole body as this bottle would be consumed very quickly but just on my face and neck in the winter time when I cannot go in the sun. Make sure you hold it kind of far from the face though as it could go on too dark. It also gets darker once you leave it on for a while. If you feel like you sprayed too much just dap it with some tissue to even it out. It does not last too long but maybe like a week at the most. After you wash your face for the first time after using it, a lot of it comes off. Which is fine with me, I like a more subtle look.

I love this tanning spray for 2 reasons. First, is you don't have to rub anything in and get your hands stained. And second, it gives you an instant tan as well as a tan that develops over hours. There's are a couple of drawbacks though with this. It can splatter sometimes while it sprays and give you a little freckly loon in places. And the other drawback is you really need to spray it either on top of a large dark towel or blanket or in a shower/bathtub or outside so you don't stain your flooring. But I still live the product and I've used it for years. It doesn't seem to give you that orangy look like some of the other self tanning products.
