[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': '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.\n\nFirst 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!\n\nSecond, 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.\n\nThird, 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.\n\nFourth, 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.\n\nFifth, 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!!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "To begin with, I am paper white. Some would say translucent. I get sunburnt in the shade. So now that I've set the scene, here is my experience and questionable methodology.\nI followed the directions on the bottle... mostly. I applied with a mit and waited just the 9 minutes in my nude glory holding a ridiculous position (my fellow top heavy ladies will know what I mean). And then rinsed off for probably two minutes. Even with over double the rinsing time, I had a nice light golden tan develop. For those of you who are reading through these reviews trying to determine if a 9 minute tan is even possible, let me tell you, it is.\nHere are some things to be aware of:\nIf you are looking for a shocking difference after first application go with a product that has a longer sit/develop time.\nThe shade of tan is incredibly natural. I mean not even a hint of cheeto dust orange.\nThe guide colour is grey but it rinses right off.\nThere is no staining.\nYou will not smell like a bag of chips."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Here’s my process. My socks photo is the BEFORE.\n\nI just put it on auto ship. I literally shower, dry off and apply it, walk around naked getting my work clothes together, blow dry my hair, you get it... by that time 20-30 mins has gone by even though it just needs 9. Then I throw my hair in a bun and hop back in the shower for LESS than a minute, rinse with my hands vigorously but DO NOT USE ANY SOAP OR LOTION, pat dry and I’m moisturized with no need for body oil or lotion in dry LA heat. No residue or sticky, smelly anything and then I just get dressed as usual and walk out the door and it develops A LOT over the rest of the day/night. It’s idiot proof. (The tan goes great with my vintage Halston, Sassy)'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "OK, yes, as per the comments below it comes out of the bottle and initially onto your skin greenish/grayish but if you wait 2 mins or even better ONE HOUR which is what its called.... you will literally have the best tan and this will be the best fake tan you've ever had.... I love how people gave it 1 star but said they washed it off immediately even tho its called 1 hour tan.... ugh"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I absolutely love this. But will not order it from Amazon again because I can get it for half price at Walmart what does tanning mousse is the best'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Definitely would buy again as it’s one of the best self tanning products I’ve ever used\nYou get a couple shades darker the second you put it on your skin, and you gradually get even darker over the next few hours\nIt doesn’t wash off in the shower either like most tanners, it won’t rub off onto your clothing and it last longer than anything I’ve ever used coming from a DIY tan At home\nIt has a slight light smell to it which smells like brown sugar (the typical self tan smell) but if you follow the directions on the bottle which say to apply to your body -then to shower in a few hours after application, the smell will wash away but not your tan\nI have a tendency to apply too much self tanner in the colder months due to the fact I get way too pale for my liking, and because of that my skin starts to look dirty bc I’ll continue put layers of tanner on over the older tan from last week without exfoliating my skin to rub off the old tan, making it so it looks like I have dirt all over -especially on my neck. But with this tanner I don’t have that problem ! I’m not needing to apply so much if it to achieve the tan I’m looking for, plus it absorbs well into my skin and when it starts to fade it does so evenly instead of in blotches.\nAlso it doesn’t make me orange in the slightest so there’s no fake tan look at all. People have noticed I look tanner but I’ve been asked if I went to the tanning bed bc of the natural brown tan this tanner gives. Though it can almost be too brown, there’s no orange to it at all which I feel depending on your skin type a little orange is necessary bc the brown can almost make my pale skin look dirty, especially on my face. Once I get a little tan from the sun though, then I used this, it didn’t seem to do that. So for anyone with pale skin I would suggest trying a different tanner With a different tint to it bc I don’t think the tint of dark brown this gives would be what you’d want.\nAll and all I would recommend this product though bc it’s definitely worth the try and I will be buying again. I would just recommend to buy a sea salt scrub to exfoliate in the shower with as it’s the best to remove any dead skin you need too in order to get a long lasting even tan. Also don’t forget to buy a tanning mit to avoid orange hands and get the best even tan across your entire body.\nI’ve done 4 applications from head to toe since buying and I still have over half the bottle left. It does give you an instantly darker complexion the moment you apply it so if you’re looking for something subtle and not so noticeable then I’m not sure this would be the tanner you want'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This is the self tanner you thought didn\'t exist. It has virtually no scent, dries fast into a gorgeous brown tan, uses no UV rays, and lasts up to 5 days... why have you people been hiding this??\n\nYou should use a tanning mit while applying the foam. It will stain your hands quickly if applying directly. It is best to fully exfoliate prior to application. A loofah, exfoliation glove, or a heavy body scrub will help do the trick. I would suggest shaving afterwards, as needed.\n\nMoisturizing before using the foam will ensure longer lasting results and less "patchiness" around rougher or dryer skin. Cocoa butter or a thicker lotion should be used on the elbows, wrists, hands, ankles, around the front arm pit area, the knees and behind, as well as the ankles.\n\nLeave the product on for as long as possible for a rich dark color. Ideally, the tan should be processed for 8 hours before washing. There is no heavy odor and is a lot less sticky than most sunless tanners on the market.\n\nThis product is well priced and genuinely delivers amazing tanning results. Now all you tanning goddesses, come on, go ahead...\n\n*Clicks *ADD TO CART**'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I self tanned for the first time with this stuff and it was perfect. It smelled fine to me and it didn’t rub off on my clothes or sheets. It comes on green/grey at first but once you let it sit and then rinse it off it looks a lot better. It leaves a very nice golden brown color. Just make sure your skin is exfoliated and moisturized before using any self tanning product. Also I used a foundation brush for my face. Goodluck!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'First of all, props to you looking at this product as an alternative to tanning in the sun.. Your skin will thank you!! And it is true, if you can’t tone it, tan it! I’ve always felt having a glow is an immediate confidence booster.\n\nI’ve been a St Tropez loyalist for 10+ years. My favorite is the express tan because I don’t like sleeping in a self tanner. I’ve done a ton of research on different brands (thank you reviews!) and landed on this tanner due to price, color, timeliness and smell.\n\nThe price and color is unbeatable. Given St Tropez is $40+ a bottle I wouldn’t use it all the time, now I can be constantly tan without worrying about my wallet. Color is very similar to St Tropez and if you’re not a veteran self tanner it takes a minute to get used to proper application. Exfoliate, shave in advance, generously apply lotion on your hands, ankles, wrist and feet. You don’t need to be OCD in having the color guard completely blended, just make sure all areas of your skin have been coated.\n\nI used this on my face as well, I actually do prefer the St Tropez on my face versus this one. St Tropez blends a bit better and I found this one to give that “dirty” appearance but it’s not a significant difference. I’ll apply less of the tanner on my face next time and should do the trick. Sometimes less is more on the face.\n\nI’ve read reviews about it splotching off, I’m on day four and don’t see any issues. The key here is to exfoliate with a luffa daily which ensures it comes off evenly and heavily moisturize after your shower. This way the tan comes off gradually rather than attaching to dead and dry skin causing that blotching appearance.\n\nThe smell is also less intense than St Tropez, the majority of self tanners are going to have some faint smell, this one is minimal and totally doable to go about your day. I kept this one on for 4 hours which is really the max I would want to and the color came out gorgeous. I can’t speak to 1 hour but I’m sure it would be lighter so you can tailor how dark you want to be based on the time you keep it on.\n\nOverall, I’ve converted to this tanner and so grateful I found a tanner that is way kinder to my wallet and can now use all the time!!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I LOVE this product. I was initially worried due to the poor reviews on here. I actually love that it comes out gray. I can actually see where it is and it ensures I rub everything in really well! I didn’t follow the directions and wash it off. I just let it dry and moisturized a few hours later. It looks very natural and I have gotten so many compliments. I highly recommend this product!'}]
