also wow the effort put into this video!!! like the commitment, the links, the timestamps, the breakdown of the categories. she really did us all a favor
Three years later, I am just discovering this video and appreciating how much work she put into this. Hoping I can apply my knowledge from watching the video to my experience with self tanner!
I just bought B.tan for the first time today, their darkest color. The color is amazing and it's not done developing. It's not orange and has almost an olive tone. It's very beautiful. It does smell while developing, not during application, no stick. Tons of pros for me so far.
This was the best sunless tan video. I appreciate all the research and effort you put into your videos. I’m currently using loving tan and I do love it, but I would like to find something more affordable. Apparently according to the comments I need to try bondi sands😆
loving tan is going to always be my fav (especially cause it dries down) but bondi is definitely a close second. i find it easier to blend and it has a strong tropical scent. the biggest downside for me is that it’s sticks and transfers a lil. color is pretty nice tho
Bondi Sands (from Australia like myself) Is good but DEFINATLY do not apply it straight after exfoliating leave it a day. I got the worst spots, they look like legions they have taken 2 weeks to go away, otherwise all good smell good. I also use a a brand here called Eco-tan by Sonya if you want something with all natural ingredients, It's great however its really an internet business so you will have to get it online and is pricier .(face tanning water AWESOME). Also Le Tan is back in the game with a few choices and boasts 10 days, I'd call it more like 9 but pretty good :)
I’ve been self tanning for YEARS and have tried freaking everything in the market!!! My fave by far is basically any of the Bondi Sands tanners, but the one I’m hooked on now is their Aero Liquid Gold foam. It dries SUPER quick and smells really good!!! Plus makes my skin soooooo soft!!!! Very transfer proof too!!!! I buy it at Walgreens!!!!!! Highly recommend!!!!!!!!!
I just bought this and tried it as a self tan first timer. It went perfectly! I look so good! No bad smell (actually faintly like coconut), easy to apply, no transfer, not orange, no streaks or patchiness in my application! I love it now! I want to try the Bondi Sands ultra dark now.
i use the aAero ultra dark. It has no smell it dries completely it doesn't transfer it's nice and dark and I will never go back to anything else. I also topped it off after about five days with their tanning oil which is also amazing but is more gold than brown. You'll never go back you need to try it
That's interesting! Maybe I should try the aero foam... I have used the Bondi Sands Dark Self Tanning Foam a few times and each time it only lasted 2 days before it starts fading. It's almost completely gone within 4 days. :/ So I'm looking to try something else
THANK YOU for taking the time to make this video. I'm also a big self tanning person so I know how much work goes into it. The fact that you did this every week, and put up with bad tans when you really just want to use the best one, really shows how much effort you put into it. I appreciate all of your videos!
My favorite tip to help with self tanners not drying down that I learned when I use to get spray tans put talc free baby powder (preferably burts bees) all over your body with a makeup brush it helps so much
@@sarahbrown9926 not at all I use to get spray tans frequently before I started to self tan and my lady taught me the trick let it sit on your skin for a few minutes with a fan blowing on you so it dries as much as possible (because some fully dont) but in creases or areas of your body where the tan can rub or get all weird just dust some baby powder with a brush and it keeps from sticking and a lot less transfer
Using powder was one of the best tips and made a huge difference in how my tan develops. I learned about it like 10 years ago. After tanning I apply it wherever skin can touch skin: crease behind the knees, in the crook of your elbows, the crease of your hip/thigh when you bend your legs to sit down, and under your arms. I started using Gold Bond camomile and aloe because it’s less drying and I avoid talc because of health hazards. I go outside on my patio (it’s enclosed for privacy) where I have a fan blowing to help dry my tan and it disperses the powder, otherwise it can be a little messy in my bathroom. I also learned it made a big difference to moisturize twice a day in the AM and PM to make the tan last longer, which is logical because all day every day we shed skin cells so maintaining moisture is key. Foams usually have a higher alcohol level so they tend to be more drying and make me itchier. I started using a makeup brush to more smoothly apply tanner on my face, hands, and feet. I bought a vinyl back tanning strap to uniformly apply tanner to my back so I’m not trying to twist like a pretzel to reach difficult areas. I moisturize my feet/hands/knees/elbows ahead of tanning because the skin is thicker and drier so it keeps the tanner from being so dark and streaked from the product clinging. And I use disposable surgical gloves to apply tanner all over, which gets rid of the problem with washing tanner from your hands. When you’ve been using self tanner as long as I have you have to keep researching, trying new products since the industry keeps improving formulas, and looking for tips and tricks. I appreciate ideas that people come up with to make the result more natural.
Loved your input on these! However good for people to keep in mind that the smell while developing is caused by the chemical reaction between the active ingredient (DHA) and your skin, so something that smells okay on you could be super stinky on someone else and vice versa. Thanks for taking 7 weeks of your time to review these!!
I've tried a couple of Jergens products and they always look orange and smell pretty bad to boot. I'm so glad there are more affordable options now like Tanologist. Tysm for your thorough reviews!
I'm a ginger and I have recently been exploring spray tans and at home self tanners. I am seriously considering ordering the equipment pros use to just do my own spray tans and maybe even turn it into a side hustle because we don't have anyone that does spray tans where I live. Anyway I really loved this information and I appreciate all the time u took explaining and researching everything!
Thanks for your recommendation of Tanologist. I used it yesterday and so far really like! I usually use St. Tropez....Tanologist spreads easier and definitely smells better.
Extracts are ok because they are natural. However, almost all citrus extracts makes us more prone to sun damage so make sure to wear your SPF :) thanks for the video because I’m blinding ppl with my paleness and needed some info on the topic.
I just grabbed a bottle of b. Tan, it was way cheaper, like $11.99 at Harmon. I think it is good for the price. The color develops brown on me, no red or orange tint. I want to try the Bondi Sands next. I am interested to see what you think of The Gradual. It's a self tanning cream. I have repurchased it 2 or 3 times, i love it. It's more of a tan booster, maybe? I use it all summer. Ulta sells it and i think Sephora as well.
Thank you for the very helpful review of these products. Bought the tanologist a month ago and have been using the mousse. Please do a weekly tanning routine including face too and how to do the feet and hands. It would be so so helpful. Thank you for all the hard work. You are awesome!
I know this is an older video, but have you tried Jergens instant sun? I’ve been a self tanner for close to 20 years.. never have used loving tan(cause I’m too cheap), but the instant sun is soooooo good in my opinion, doesn’t transfer, dries within like 2 minutes and stays for nearly a week!!
Hi Abbey. Thanks so much for helping to clarify the situation for so many of us who use self tanning products. You've touched on quite a few good points here. As a tanning product manufacturer fresh on the Australian market, we understand why companies continue to make self-tanning products that don't look real. The reason is that most tanning product formulations come from - well - formulators. These people are essentially chemists who have received little to no training in mixing colourants for the formulations. That's what makes our product range different. At Sundance, The Designer Tan, we have a range of 10 self-tanning products that range in strength and natural tone according to your unique tones - and not just skin, but hair and eyes as well. Thanks again for all your hard work Abbey!
My favorite tanner is sold online by HSN called Tan Towels. The product is inexpensive and easy to use. You take a packet which has a paper sheet filled with their self tanner. You just apply it all the places you want. It goes on easily and i never have streaking. I have been using it for years and love it. It dries quickly and lasts for days. I sometimes use it year round because it is not expensive and I do love to glow!!
I have been searching for actual YEARS to find a solution to sunless tan not taking well to my inner elbows. I thought I was the only one! Thank you for bringing up this is issue and making me feel a little less like a self-tab mutant.
b.tan i tried last month and it was amazing color and such! BUT for having sensitive skin, i do not recommend their cotton candy disco. i was soooooo itchy, i don’t have an issue with fragrance but their scent on this one specifically had me beyond irritated! i hope to give them a second shot soon with their other mousses and not get itchy!
St.Tropez made me SO itchy that I scratched so much I got a rash! It lasted the whole time the tan stayed on.. about 5 days. 😩 I was def allergic. Never happened with any others and I’ve tried tons.
Abby, I wanted to let you know about a product that (for me) avoids the need for a tanning mitt for application. I stumbled upon it in my hubs bathroom drawer, haha. I personally am not a fan of tanning mitts bcz they soak up product, it’s one more thing to clean and spend more $ on. I apply all of my tanning products with my bare hands and then I use this “scrubby” from Lowe’s (It’s a natural soap infused scrubber like a plastic loofa type) infused with citrus and typically used for paint, grease and dirt removal of hands. And let me tell you....it gets off ALL the dark stain residue from my self tan when I use it immediately after applying my tanner. I’ve never actually used it after the tan has set in already. This would’ve been perfect for the bottoms of your feel when you had your leaky bottle disaster. I realize that some people love the mitt, but for those who don’t....try this instead!! It’s a game changer!
Loved your video! Thank you 😊 however I do want to comment something on the b.tan product.. you are supposed to jump in the shower a hour after application to rinse your body off. You will not feel sticky and ofcourse you will dry right away after pat drying when done with shower! Rinsing this product off after a minimum of 1 hour is a MUST GUYS!! happy tanning 🥰🥰
Maybe the difference in itching is that the fragrance in Ulta and LT are synthetic (petroleum based) and the fragrance in Tanologist is like you said, plant extracts!! Loved this video. Very helpful.
Just watched this video and I am so glad you've spoken about that 24 hour after smell!! That's a big thkng I look for, hate sitting at work with that smell
See, I've been using loving tan for 3 years now, and I'd actually rate it lower than she did on transferability and fade. It transfers a lot for me - like everywhere. And its sticky during the entire developing time. The tan lasts a while, but it does fade patchy for me. I just LOVE the color on me (I have cool undertones which their dark formula is perfect for) so I've been scared to try something else. But I'm so glad I found this video so I can explore other brands with less fear :)
I also have tried so many different self tanning products and I definitely agree that Tanolphist I'd by far the best I've used! I was extremely skeptical buying at first because it was so cheap I figured you get what you pay for but definitely not with that one!! It's my all time favorite and I use it frequently!
Thank you for your review! I just bought the Tanologist product yesterday. So happy I did! I haven’t used a self-tanner in years and was going to buy the Loving Tan because of the recommendations of other TH-camrs. I didn’t know it was so expensive so in the end I wouldn’t have spent that much. Thanks again!
I love this video. I have been using Loving Tan for years because I love how dark it gets, but it dries out my skin SO badly (and causes an itchy rash) and I just can't deal with it anymore. I'm going to try Tanologist now!
I am just finding this video and your channel today (3/23/21). I have to say I am SUPER IMPRESSED on the time and dedication this video took and how informative it was.
Thank you soooo much for the reviews!! So sweet of you and very informative. You know, there was a brand I used to buy from Walgreens and/or CVS I’m nearly 100% certain it was Sally Hansen bronzing gel. But, it seems as though they have changed their formula (if I’m remembering correctly). It was a 12 oz tube of Gel Bronzer “medium - dark” in shade. No hint of shimmer or orange hues. I chose the darker shade to stretch it farther since I would need to combine it with my daily moisturizer in order to lighten its shade. That single tube cost me $7.82 after tax and would last me throughout an entire year. Not full body use everyday but usually half of it. My skin looked naturally tanned and healthy. The above bronzing gel was replaced with a bronzing lotion that is nothing like the product it replaced. It’s seems more like a type of foundation or concealer of sorts. Like a beige colored mousse/lotion blend. Nothing like a bronzer. Everything like a disappointment. I wish these companies would stop cheapening their products, believing it’s some clever ruse for passing along inflation hikes to us consumers without our awareness of it. We notice less product in the tubes these days. The quality changing from a rich texture to an air whipped texture. And the deception that is perpetrated upon consumer’s after years of financial support is one that can be likened to that of a bait and switch scam is dreadfully unfortunate. Maybe I will luck up and find 10 bottles of the old formula on a dusty shelf of an out-of-the-way Walgreens. One can only hope. As for now, I’m going to combine that green toned bronzer (lol) with that bronzer you like best and see how the combination works out. I’m thinking it will look great. We’ll see. Take care and YOU ARE THE BEST!! ❤️❤️
OK but you NEED to try Bondi Sands Aero foam EXPRESS! It has to be the Aero Foam not any Bondi sands! Easiest application, dark color, smells like coconuts. It does transfer a bit when drying but it’s amazing !!
I just bought the b.tan one two days ago and ugh 🤦🏻♀️ Not a fan for myself. Personally it was very sticky and never felt like it dried down. And afterwards I was itchy, even though it claims it doesn’t have nastys. Never have felt itchy after self tanning before until this one, I tried the one in the white bottle, the gradual tan. Not a fan and such a waste of money for me. I need to try the tanologist that you always talk about ❤️❤️❤️
Yes! I am always saying that and people are like..oh no smell this (jergens) it smells great! Lol I'm like..yeah it has fragrance... I'm talking about while it develops and especially after you shower I don't want to smell gross!
Have you ever tried Coco glow it is amazing it starts to develope after two hours and continues to darken over the next 48 hours and it moisturizes your skin at the same time.
Thank you for such a thoughtful and comprehensive review! Absolutely love your channel, I’ve just been trying self tanning and this has been so helpful for me!
Thank you for going through all of this for nine weeks to help us out! I just bought Bondi sands and am excited to try it, but now I want to check out tanologist too! The first time you mentioned it in a video I was a little scared of not having a color guard, but I think I've graduated to experienced self tanner at this point and can give it a chance haha.
This is such a great video. Thank you for putting so much effort in!!! I have been so unhappy with my self-tanner last summer and I just couldn't pick a new one to use. And seriously the attention to ingredients is amazing. Never thought about looking at ingredients for self-tanners, but I freaking put that all shit all over my skin, lol. Also definitely interested in a dedicated weekly self-tanning video. I get a lot of fading when I have to shave my legs and have fading and removal issues sometimes.
@@AbbeyYung GIRL!! yes!!!! You must!!! Try the dry oil version...(the mousse is excellent too!) OMG!!! Its BEAUTIFUL! Works perfectly with the mitt!! Spray on skin and buff with the mitt.... My HG tanner....✌️❤️💄 Thanks for the in depth reviews!!!! ✌️❤️💄
So b.tan was the first mouse I used and it was extremely wet feeling and it wouldn’t dry at all. I didn’t even get any color out of it either which I was disappointed, definitely thinking about checking out tanologist!
I LOVE the Loving Tan - I just can't get over the price. I usually need two coats to get the dark color I want, so I go through the bottle too quickly. I do like the Ulta one as well but stays too green on my skin tone
@Rachel Hill I use Loving Tan, but I get the Deluxe Bronzing mousse in whichever color you prefer and it’s $35 it is a 6 hour develop time so I do it at night before bed. Maybe try that one.
So much great info! You do not fool around! As an older woman with really fair skin, I’d be happy with any color..even orange. And back in the day, orange it was! But I will try the mitt, since I don’t like orange hands. Really, Jergen’s original self-tanning lotion is all I need.
💡I'm intrested in the air brush style sunless spray tan system you mentioned. Your right it might be a better & cost effective system if you can spray yourself. Please look into this option. Great idea
This is awesome that you went to the trouble to try all these self tanners out. I was looking in Amazon and the St. Moritz does having a self tan mousse that you can get in dark. Don’t know how well that works I’ve never tried it , maybe that would have better application though than the spray. It’s really nice to see the different brands of self tanner in someone to see how it looks , how it smells and how it lasted. So thank you so much for this💕💕
I’ve been finding all or your videos so incredibly helpful!! Every time I search for a product review your videos pop up and I love how thorough you are & knowledgeable when it comes to the ingredients etc which is huge for me! Thank you for this showdown! I think I’m going to get the tanology, I was a die hard loving tan fan, but I wonder which do you prefer the tanology or the coco & Eve? I’m torn between those two!!
So glad I found this video! I just bought the Tanologist Mousse yesterday and am applying it this evening. This makes me feel better because I wasn't sure which one I wanted! :)
Loving tan does the exact same thing that creases on me too. I don’t think loving tan last as well as the btan on me. My arms get funky looking & it happens after like 3-4 days maybe.
So glad you are saving your skin from not being a sun worshipper. It’s great to get your view on all these products. I actually think u can put any of these products in a tan machine spray and u get the best tan with any of these self tanners. It’s a game changer and is so fast and it dries fast. Tan babe. It’s even in pink. Small like a hair dryer. I recommend u try it. It’s super cool and easy to use. U can have a tanning party. I live in Florida. And love 💗 looking tan. And to improve skin is looking smoother and healthier. Sincerely Jadzia I’m a twin so we both luv tanning and
i mainly use loving tan and i agree with you 100% on everything. i get the same patchiness on my arms. i really want to try isle of paradise again it's just out of stock! it was similar tho. i tried the st moriz mousse for a while and ilked it. i have olive skin and needed the dark -- the medium barely changed by skin. but the smell was ugh.
This is the best self tanner review I've seen! So in-depth and easy to follow :) I like that you did a real time review of when you actually used them/the result and talked about the ingredients! Not your average review vid. I've always used loving tan as one of my fav youtubers recommended it a long time ago but it's no longer affordable to me lol I can't believe how many are out there and are affordable/good quality. I've tried bondi sands liquid gold but it makes me stink like a dog's paw. lol
Just bought the tanologist express tan because of this video, can’t wait to try it! I’ve never self tanned before, so wish me luck since this doesn’t have a color guide, but excited to try it!! Thanks for all the effort you put into this video :)
@@MaDi123poofMaGiC it went well! It was really even overall and lasted a long time (6ish days). I will say, even with putting lotion on my feet and ankles prior to applying, those came out a little orange 😅 but other than that, couldn’t be happier with the results! For my first ever time trying a self tanner, I’d call it a success! Def try it! The color is amazing
My favorites st tropez express dark mousse. Color guard needs to be rinsed off after 2-8 hours. Fake bake mousse or spray & mitt. After color guard is rinsed off. Sun labs ultra dark cream or mousse. All 3 proform well and priced $21-$35.00. Remove tanner trim hands with toothpaste & table salt with scrub with a kitchen type scrub sponge. Just my 2 cents. Sher
St. Moriz (dark) is probably my favorite self-tanner if you like non-orange results (at least that's how it is on my skin). I use the "lotion", though, except it doesn't seem like a lotion? It's more like a liquid to me. The lotion does have the color guard and it dries quickly (unless it's really humid out). I have never had any streaks and it does fade evenly. (Your experience with the mist just sounds awful! I stay away from all mists!!) You might like it! P.S. The price is much better at Target compared to Amazon. :D
The time, dedication, and research you put into this video deserves so much more recognition. I am rooting for you, keep up the hard work you are on your way to unstoppable success! ❤️❤️
So I honestly dont care about smell but I know alot of people do. I just feel like its only on you for a short time so as long as you dont smell rancid or horrible- I'm cool with that self tan smell! I did get the Tanologist water but I agree that it doesn't get as dark as loving tan so I should maybe do 2 applications. I did ask you before about tanning the face and I know you did say makeup but I dont wear makeup everyday so I hate having that pale face and dark body! Even bronzer doesn't work well for color matching. I would love to know some ideas on tan serums like Ilia or maybe the Coola sunless tan serum? Do you use anything like this and if so I'd love to see a video on your thoughts! I appreciate the time you took to make this!!! Oh and I use just latex medical gloves for applying my tanner...have you ever used them? Great video! Thank you 🙂
So helpful!! I've only tried the Sally Hansen mousse and I think it's alright. I'm interested to try others though!! Thank you for putting so much time into this video ❤️
Hello abbey ❤️ Thank you for the incredible breakdown. I must say I always thrilled to stumble on youtubers that just get it right. You're breakdown was impressive and impeccable. Thank you for 9 weeks of hard work . I think it truly paid off. I was just in the neighborhood looking at what to buy because I decided I'm not going to do the whole tanning bed thing. But I have a question for yourself or any of the professional self appliers that might see this. Is there a product to help apply on the back of you can't get someone to? I know they make like back scrubbing loofahs but what about tanning applicators? Thank you again 💓
The best self Tanner hands down is Korres face and body tanning serum. I will be intrested to see if you have it in this video if you do not trust me it is a must buy my mother is obsessed with this brand and they definitely know their skin care it was genius of them to make this. Please try it if you have not I promise you that anything that I recommend is top notch. Also I have not seen anyone review it on TH-cam I mean I'm sure someone has but any of the big names that I watch I have not seen anybody try it it is a new product they came out with a few months ago bought brand does not get nearly enough recognition as they should.
I don't self tan but I did it for a video, I have tried them all I love putting the loreal on my face with the tanologst tan AF has so many different kinds. I couldn't do it on my face but it just is so blotchy to me I am obsessed with tanning in the beds and outside but I really did think the face Tanner for tanologst was a waste but didn't make me break out nor did the loreal like it was perfect if you want color and don't wear makeup and didn't tan much that week. It makes you glow. Loving tan was too crazy once they changed formulas.
came across your video and been bingeing them now lol. Question? Have you tried any of the other Tanologist tanners like the express extra dark one? Just wondering if they all perform as well as this one.
Tanologist smells so good like SO good compared to other self tanners I’ve used. It’s a very light fresh smell doesn’t smell like chemicals like st moriz for example smelt HORRID and very strong. The smell was a huge shock to me I loved it
Hey Abbey, Love your channel. I think you’re going to be incredibly successful here on TH-cam. (: My question for you is, do you using anything at the end of your tanning week to remove the former tan completely or do you simply apply over the faded existing tan? Personally, I just apply over my existing tan once I feel like it has completely faded. Also, just thought you would appreciate knowing I did purchase tanologist on your recommendation and I am enjoying it so far!
Korres face and body tanning serum is as perfect as I have found. I started off using it just on my face because I received a sample size and I'm very picky on what I put on my face and then I fell in love so I ordered the full size it is not cheap but it's huge and it lasts. I think it's because it's made by a skin care company I'm not really sure but it is amazing also I think it's James Read sleeping tanning mask is also great
I normally love these comparison videos and have made purchases based on the very helpful recommendations. But this one really missed the mark for me. The evaluation criteria was all spot on, but I would have preferred to see a line-up of the real heavy hitters in the self tan market. Loving Tan made sense, but where was St. Tropez? Isle of Paradise? Bondi Sands? That is the type of side-by-side self tanner review that I think makes sense.
Ive been tanning and using every self tanner especially loving tan, and people would wonder what this smell was coming off of me, so would I and it would drive me crazy at this BO smell, because when I have no tanner on I do not smell one bit.
Bless you for doing this!!! I just bought tanologist foam on a whim because the smell was appealing to me in the store ( I am sensitive to floral and loud scents). Other foams have gone on well in the past and I am hoping this checks all the boxes as well. I did have a question though...do you prep your skin a certain way before applying? I know some say to exfoliate and moisturize a day before... I was not sure if this applies to foam applications as well.

Love your videos! Would absolutely love love an overall ranking of all of the tannners you’ve tried!!
also wow the effort put into this video!!! like the commitment, the links, the timestamps, the breakdown of the categories. she really did us all a favor
Yes! Such a well-done review video!
Three years later, I am just discovering this video and appreciating how much work she put into this. Hoping I can apply my knowledge from watching the video to my experience with self tanner!
I just bought B.tan for the first time today, their darkest color. The color is amazing and it's not done developing. It's not orange and has almost an olive tone. It's very beautiful. It does smell while developing, not during application, no stick. Tons of pros for me so far.
when you say their darkest color is it the one called “darkest” or is it truly their darkest like darker than their “insanely dark”?
I've used that brand before,might have to revisit
I've used that brand before,might have to revisit
This was the best sunless tan video. I appreciate all the research and effort you put into your videos. I’m currently using loving tan and I do love it, but I would like to find something more affordable. Apparently according to the comments I need to try bondi sands😆
Yay I’m so happy to help! Yes everyone seems obsessed. I think I remember reading comments that it has a funky smell though? Not sure
loving tan is going to always be my fav (especially cause it dries down) but bondi is definitely a close second. i find it easier to blend and it has a strong tropical scent. the biggest downside for me is that it’s sticks and transfers a lil. color is pretty nice tho
Bondi Sands (from Australia like myself) Is good but DEFINATLY do not apply it straight after exfoliating leave it a day. I got the worst spots, they look like legions they have taken 2 weeks to go away, otherwise all good smell good.
I also use a a brand here called Eco-tan by Sonya if you want something with all natural ingredients, It's great however its really an internet business so you will have to get it online and is pricier .(face tanning water AWESOME).
Also Le Tan is back in the game with a few choices and boasts 10 days, I'd call it more like 9 but pretty good :)
@@sarahbest1171 yeah for sure, you have to wait after shaving and showering
I’ve been self tanning for YEARS and have tried freaking everything in the market!!! My fave by far is basically any of the Bondi Sands tanners, but the one I’m hooked on now is their Aero Liquid Gold foam. It dries SUPER quick and smells really good!!! Plus makes my skin soooooo soft!!!! Very transfer proof too!!!! I buy it at Walgreens!!!!!! Highly recommend!!!!!!!!!
Both sound amazing!! Need to try
I just bought this and tried it as a self tan first timer. It went perfectly! I look so good! No bad smell (actually faintly like coconut), easy to apply, no transfer, not orange, no streaks or patchiness in my application! I love it now! I want to try the Bondi Sands ultra dark now.
i use the aAero ultra dark. It has no smell it dries completely it doesn't transfer it's nice and dark and I will never go back to anything else. I also topped it off after about five days with their tanning oil which is also amazing but is more gold than brown. You'll never go back you need to try it
That's interesting! Maybe I should try the aero foam... I have used the Bondi Sands Dark Self Tanning Foam a few times and each time it only lasted 2 days before it starts fading. It's almost completely gone within 4 days. :/ So I'm looking to try something else
@@ambervarner1634 i love the aero ultra dark!
THANK YOU for taking the time to make this video. I'm also a big self tanning person so I know how much work goes into it. The fact that you did this every week, and put up with bad tans when you really just want to use the best one, really shows how much effort you put into it. I appreciate all of your videos!
Of course! So happy to help 😊 let’s just say I never wanted to use self tanner again after this 😂
tanologist is my personal favorite. if i'm being honest, i only ever tried it because it's Lottie Tomlinson's product and i absolutely adore her
I didn't know who she was prior to Tanologist! Agreed it's my fave soo good
Self tan B.O. is so real I’m glad you gave it a name i was wondering if I was the only person who noticed that I hate it !!
Hahaha thank god it’s not just me 😂
My favorite tip to help with self tanners not drying down that I learned when I use to get spray tans put talc free baby powder (preferably burts bees) all over your body with a makeup brush it helps so much
adding powder to the fresh tan doesn’t make it dry weird?
@@sarahbrown9926 not at all I use to get spray tans frequently before I started to self tan and my lady taught me the trick let it sit on your skin for a few minutes with a fan blowing on you so it dries as much as possible (because some fully dont) but in creases or areas of your body where the tan can rub or get all weird just dust some baby powder with a brush and it keeps from sticking and a lot less transfer
Using powder was one of the best tips and made a huge difference in how my tan develops. I learned about it like 10 years ago. After tanning I apply it wherever skin can touch skin: crease behind the knees, in the crook of your elbows, the crease of your hip/thigh when you bend your legs to sit down, and under your arms. I started using Gold Bond camomile and aloe because it’s less drying and I avoid talc because of health hazards. I go outside on my patio (it’s enclosed for privacy) where I have a fan blowing to help dry my tan and it disperses the powder, otherwise it can be a little messy in my bathroom. I also learned it made a big difference to moisturize twice a day in the AM and PM to make the tan last longer, which is logical because all day every day we shed skin cells so maintaining moisture is key. Foams usually have a higher alcohol level so they tend to be more drying and make me itchier. I started using a makeup brush to more smoothly apply tanner on my face, hands, and feet. I bought a vinyl back tanning strap to uniformly apply tanner to my back so I’m not trying to twist like a pretzel to reach difficult areas. I moisturize my feet/hands/knees/elbows ahead of tanning because the skin is thicker and drier so it keeps the tanner from being so dark and streaked from the product clinging. And I use disposable surgical gloves to apply tanner all over, which gets rid of the problem with washing tanner from your hands. When you’ve been using self tanner as long as I have you have to keep researching, trying new products since the industry keeps improving formulas, and looking for tips and tricks. I appreciate ideas that people come up with to make the result more natural.
Loved your input on these! However good for people to keep in mind that the smell while developing is caused by the chemical reaction between the active ingredient (DHA) and your skin, so something that smells okay on you could be super stinky on someone else and vice versa.
Thanks for taking 7 weeks of your time to review these!!
Yes to the weekly self tanning routine, please 💕
On it 😊
I agree! 😊
Yes I need to see this, would be so helpful
Hey
I've tried a couple of Jergens products and they always look orange and smell pretty bad to boot. I'm so glad there are more affordable options now like Tanologist. Tysm for your thorough reviews!
I'm a ginger and I have recently been exploring spray tans and at home self tanners. I am seriously considering ordering the equipment pros use to just do my own spray tans and maybe even turn it into a side hustle because we don't have anyone that does spray tans where I live. Anyway I really loved this information and I appreciate all the time u took explaining and researching everything!
The effort.. self tanning can be such a pain. Its rare to find youtubers that are THAT committed to what they do! New sub
Love this detailed review and can't wait to hear your thoughts on the bondi and others recommended in the comments for part two!
Try the B-tan forever and ever!! Supposed to last for 11 days
Thanks for your recommendation of Tanologist. I used it yesterday and so far really like! I usually use St. Tropez....Tanologist spreads easier and definitely smells better.
Yay!! So glad you like it 🤩
Extracts are ok because they are natural. However, almost all citrus extracts makes us more prone to sun damage so make sure to wear your SPF :) thanks for the video because I’m blinding ppl with my paleness and needed some info on the topic.
I just grabbed a bottle of b. Tan, it was way cheaper, like $11.99 at Harmon. I think it is good for the price. The color develops brown on me, no red or orange tint. I want to try the Bondi Sands next. I am interested to see what you think of The Gradual. It's a self tanning cream. I have repurchased it 2 or 3 times, i love it. It's more of a tan booster, maybe? I use it all summer. Ulta sells it and i think Sephora as well.
Thank you for the very helpful review of these products. Bought the tanologist a month ago and have been using the mousse. Please do a weekly tanning routine including face too and how to do the feet and hands. It would be so so helpful. Thank you for all the hard work. You are awesome!
Love that mousse! I will for sure 😊
20/10 . Damn this was thorough. Will be purchasing tanologist
I know this is an older video, but have you tried Jergens instant sun? I’ve been a self tanner for close to 20 years.. never have used loving tan(cause I’m too cheap), but the instant sun is soooooo good in my opinion, doesn’t transfer, dries within like 2 minutes and stays for nearly a week!!
Hi Abbey. Thanks so much for helping to clarify the situation for so many of us who use self tanning products. You've touched on quite a few good points here. As a tanning product manufacturer fresh on the Australian market, we understand why companies continue to make self-tanning products that don't look real. The reason is that most tanning product formulations come from - well - formulators. These people are essentially chemists who have received little to no training in mixing colourants for the formulations. That's what makes our product range different. At Sundance, The Designer Tan, we have a range of 10 self-tanning products that range in strength and natural tone according to your unique tones - and not just skin, but hair and eyes as well. Thanks again for all your hard work Abbey!
My favorite tanner is sold online by HSN called Tan Towels. The product is inexpensive and easy to use. You take a packet which has a paper sheet filled with their self tanner. You just apply it all the places you want. It goes on easily and i never have streaking. I have been using it for years and love it. It dries quickly and lasts for days. I sometimes use it year round because it is not expensive and I do love to glow!!
I have been searching for actual YEARS to find a solution to sunless tan not taking well to my inner elbows. I thought I was the only one! Thank you for bringing up this is issue and making me feel a little less like a self-tab mutant.
Yes to weekly tanning routine and letting us know how to deal with hands and feet.
Adding to my list!
b.tan i tried last month and it was amazing color and such! BUT for having sensitive skin, i do not recommend their cotton candy disco. i was soooooo itchy, i don’t have an issue with fragrance but their scent on this one specifically had me beyond irritated! i hope to give them a second shot soon with their other mousses and not get itchy!
I know what you mean! That feeling is awful 😭
St.Tropez made me SO itchy that I scratched so much I got a rash! It lasted the whole time the tan stayed on.. about 5 days. 😩 I was def allergic. Never happened with any others and I’ve tried tons.
Same. I looked amazing with St Tropez- my coworker completed me like crazy- but I was covered in itchy welts. Go figure
Same here, I broke out in hives.
Same!! I’m so glad I’m not the only one. It was so disappointing bc the color of that one was the best I’ve found (for me anyways).
Abby, I wanted to let you know about a product that (for me) avoids the need for a tanning mitt for application. I stumbled upon it in my hubs bathroom drawer, haha. I personally am not a fan of tanning mitts bcz they soak up product, it’s one more thing to clean and spend more $ on. I apply all of my tanning products with my bare hands and then I use this “scrubby” from Lowe’s (It’s a natural soap infused scrubber like a plastic loofa type) infused with citrus and typically used for paint, grease and dirt removal of hands. And let me tell you....it gets off ALL the dark stain residue from my self tan when I use it immediately after applying my tanner. I’ve never actually used it after the tan has set in already. This would’ve been perfect for the bottoms of your feel when you had your leaky bottle disaster. I realize that some people love the mitt, but for those who don’t....try this instead!! It’s a game changer!
I use latex gloves.
Loved your video! Thank you 😊 however I do want to comment something on the b.tan product.. you are supposed to jump in the shower a hour after application to rinse your body off. You will not feel sticky and ofcourse you will dry right away after pat drying when done with shower! Rinsing this product off after a minimum of 1 hour is a MUST GUYS!! happy tanning 🥰🥰
Maybe the difference in itching is that the fragrance in Ulta and LT are synthetic (petroleum based) and the fragrance in Tanologist is like you said, plant extracts!! Loved this video. Very helpful.
Just watched this video and I am so glad you've spoken about that 24 hour after smell!! That's a big thkng I look for, hate sitting at work with that smell
See, I've been using loving tan for 3 years now, and I'd actually rate it lower than she did on transferability and fade. It transfers a lot for me - like everywhere. And its sticky during the entire developing time. The tan lasts a while, but it does fade patchy for me. I just LOVE the color on me (I have cool undertones which their dark formula is perfect for) so I've been scared to try something else. But I'm so glad I found this video so I can explore other brands with less fear :)
I LOVE Tanologist! I also got their mit and wow it’s truly amazing to get that perfect even tan. I actually just did it tonight!
I also have tried so many different self tanning products and I definitely agree that Tanolphist I'd by far the best I've used! I was extremely skeptical buying at first because it was so cheap I figured you get what you pay for but definitely not with that one!! It's my all time favorite and I use it frequently!
B tan is my favorite, I didn’t experience any of the stuff that you did, try again maybe the one you used was a bad bottle. It amazing
Which one did you use and how long did it last ? Thanks!
@@kittykraze2350 I tried all of them and they are all great and they last a week
Thank you for your review! I just bought the Tanologist product yesterday. So happy I did! I haven’t used a self-tanner in years and was going to buy the Loving Tan because of the recommendations of other TH-camrs. I didn’t know it was so expensive so in the end I wouldn’t have spent that much. Thanks again!
I love this video. I have been using Loving Tan for years because I love how dark it gets, but it dries out my skin SO badly (and causes an itchy rash) and I just can't deal with it anymore. I'm going to try Tanologist now!
I am just finding this video and your channel today (3/23/21). I have to say I am SUPER IMPRESSED on the time and dedication this video took and how informative it was.
Yes to the weekly self tanning routine video
the jergens one for me is so sticky, and is really patchy on my feet and hands but i tried the bondi sands aero one and it’s my new fave
Giiiiirllll I've been watching your videos off and on for a few weeks and THIS video got that subscribe! The dedication!!
LOVE THAT. Welcome happy to have you 🥰
Thank you soooo much for the reviews!! So sweet of you and very informative.
You know, there was a brand I used to buy from Walgreens and/or CVS I’m nearly 100% certain it was Sally Hansen bronzing gel. But, it seems as though they have changed their formula (if I’m remembering correctly). It was a 12 oz tube of Gel Bronzer “medium - dark” in shade. No hint of shimmer or orange hues.
I chose the darker shade to stretch it farther since I would need to combine it with my daily moisturizer in order to lighten its shade. That single tube cost me $7.82 after tax and would last me throughout an entire year. Not full body use everyday but usually half of it. My skin looked naturally tanned and healthy.
The above bronzing gel was replaced with a bronzing lotion that is nothing like the product it replaced. It’s seems more like a type of foundation or concealer of sorts. Like a beige colored mousse/lotion blend. Nothing like a bronzer. Everything like a disappointment.
I wish these companies would stop cheapening their products, believing it’s some clever ruse for passing along inflation hikes to us consumers without our awareness of it. We notice less product in the tubes these days. The quality changing from a rich texture to an air whipped texture. And the deception that is perpetrated upon consumer’s after years of financial support is one that can be likened to that of a bait and switch scam is dreadfully unfortunate. Maybe I will luck up and find 10 bottles of the old formula on a dusty shelf of an out-of-the-way Walgreens. One can only hope. As for now, I’m going to combine that green toned bronzer (lol) with that bronzer you like best and see how the combination works out. I’m thinking it will look great. We’ll see.
Take care and YOU ARE THE BEST!! ❤️❤️
OK but you NEED to try Bondi Sands Aero foam EXPRESS! It has to be the Aero Foam not any Bondi sands! Easiest application, dark color, smells like coconuts. It does transfer a bit when drying but it’s amazing !!
Thanks so much for such an in-depth video! I’ve got the tanologist medium mouse on right now and I’m excited to see how it goes :)
I just bought the b.tan one two days ago and ugh 🤦🏻♀️ Not a fan for myself. Personally it was very sticky and never felt like it dried down. And afterwards I was itchy, even though it claims it doesn’t have nastys. Never have felt itchy after self tanning before until this one, I tried the one in the white bottle, the gradual tan. Not a fan and such a waste of money for me. I need to try the tanologist that you always talk about ❤️❤️❤️
Ugh I could squeeze you!!! I’m so happy you talked about that fake tanner smell, it drives me crazy and I feel like no one talks about
Omg it’s the worst 😅
Yes! I am always saying that and people are like..oh no smell this (jergens) it smells great! Lol I'm like..yeah it has fragrance... I'm talking about while it develops and especially after you shower I don't want to smell gross!
@@sarahyoung2958 literally it’s so frustrating I just want to be beautifully tanned in peace
Have you ever tried Coco glow it is amazing it starts to develope after two hours and continues to darken over the next 48 hours and it moisturizes your skin at the same time.
Thank you for such a thoughtful and comprehensive review! Absolutely love your channel, I’ve just been trying self tanning and this has been so helpful for me!
Yay!! So glad to help
Thank you for going through all of this for nine weeks to help us out! I just bought Bondi sands and am excited to try it, but now I want to check out tanologist too! The first time you mentioned it in a video I was a little scared of not having a color guard, but I think I've graduated to experienced self tanner at this point and can give it a chance haha.
Yesss the first time is intimidating but now that I have the hang of it I never want to go back to a color guard!
I’ve used all of these products that you talked about in this video and wow!! Your reviews were spot on!!!!!
This is such a great video. Thank you for putting so much effort in!!! I have been so unhappy with my self-tanner last summer and I just couldn't pick a new one to use. And seriously the attention to ingredients is amazing. Never thought about looking at ingredients for self-tanners, but I freaking put that all shit all over my skin, lol.
Also definitely interested in a dedicated weekly self-tanning video. I get a lot of fading when I have to shave my legs and have fading and removal issues sometimes.
So glad you enjoyed it!! I will definitely do that 😊
So you put the talc before applying the self tanner...or afterwards? I so confused! 😳😱🤣
Yesss love this!! Thank you!! It wasn’t included but I also love the Bondi Sands ultra dark ☀️ I will definitely be trying Tanologist next!!
Everyone is talking about Bondi Sands! Gotta try it 😊
@@AbbeyYung GIRL!! yes!!!! You must!!! Try the dry oil version...(the mousse is excellent too!) OMG!!! Its BEAUTIFUL! Works perfectly with the mitt!! Spray on skin and buff with the mitt.... My HG tanner....✌️❤️💄 Thanks for the in depth reviews!!!! ✌️❤️💄
So b.tan was the first mouse I used and it was extremely wet feeling and it wouldn’t dry at all. I didn’t even get any color out of it either which I was disappointed, definitely thinking about checking out tanologist!
I LOVE the Loving Tan - I just can't get over the price. I usually need two coats to get the dark color I want, so I go through the bottle too quickly. I do like the Ulta one as well but stays too green on my skin tone
Agreed that price seems crazier & crazier the more I think about it 😂
@Rachel Hill I use Loving Tan, but I get the Deluxe Bronzing mousse in whichever color you prefer and it’s $35 it is a 6 hour develop time so I do it at night before bed. Maybe try that one.
So much great info! You do not fool around!
As an older woman with really fair skin, I’d be happy with any color..even orange. And back in the day, orange it was!
But I will try the mitt, since I don’t like orange hands.
Really, Jergen’s original self-tanning lotion is all I need.
💡I'm intrested in the air brush style sunless spray tan system you mentioned. Your right it might be a better & cost effective system if you can spray yourself. Please look into this option. Great idea
This is awesome that you went to the trouble to try all these self tanners out. I was looking in Amazon and the St. Moritz does having a self tan mousse that you can get in dark. Don’t know how well that works I’ve never tried it , maybe that would have better application though than the spray. It’s really nice to see the different brands of self tanner in someone to see how it looks , how it smells and how it lasted. So thank you so much for this💕💕
I’ve been finding all or your videos so incredibly helpful!! Every time I search for a product review your videos pop up and I love how thorough you are & knowledgeable when it comes to the ingredients etc which is huge for me! Thank you for this showdown! I think I’m going to get the tanology, I was a die hard loving tan fan, but I wonder which do you prefer the tanology or the coco & Eve? I’m torn between those two!!
What color of tanologist do you use in the foam..? Tnx
So glad I found this video! I just bought the Tanologist Mousse yesterday and am applying it this evening. This makes me feel better because I wasn't sure which one I wanted! :)
omg please do more self tanner reviews! found this so useful
I just tried the SOL by Jergens in the medium shade. I’m fair skinned so I definitely think deep would give the orange effect.
So glad you did this!!! Extremely helpful and thorough
Yay good!!!
Loving tan does the exact same thing that creases on me too. I don’t think loving tan last as well as the btan on me. My arms get funky looking & it happens after like 3-4 days maybe.
It use to be really good they changed their formula
So glad you are saving your skin from not being a sun worshipper. It’s great to get your view on all these products. I actually think u can put any of these products in a tan machine spray and u get the best tan with any of these self tanners. It’s a game changer and is so fast and it dries fast. Tan babe. It’s even in pink. Small like a hair dryer. I recommend u try it. It’s super cool and easy to use. U can have a tanning party. I live in Florida. And love 💗 looking tan. And to improve skin is looking smoother and healthier. Sincerely Jadzia I’m a twin so we both luv tanning and
i mainly use loving tan and i agree with you 100% on everything. i get the same patchiness on my arms. i really want to try isle of paradise again it's just out of stock! it was similar tho. i tried the st moriz mousse for a while and ilked it. i have olive skin and needed the dark -- the medium barely changed by skin. but the smell was ugh.
This is the best self tanner review I've seen! So in-depth and easy to follow :) I like that you did a real time review of when you actually used them/the result and talked about the ingredients! Not your average review vid. I've always used loving tan as one of my fav youtubers recommended it a long time ago but it's no longer affordable to me lol I can't believe how many are out there and are affordable/good quality. I've tried bondi sands liquid gold but it makes me stink like a dog's paw. lol
I couldn’t agree more on loving tan it’s sooo expensive!
Just bought the tanologist express tan because of this video, can’t wait to try it! I’ve never self tanned before, so wish me luck since this doesn’t have a color guide, but excited to try it!! Thanks for all the effort you put into this video :)
How did it go?:) I’m wanting to try that one but I’ve never self tanned before!
@@MaDi123poofMaGiC it went well! It was really even overall and lasted a long time (6ish days). I will say, even with putting lotion on my feet and ankles prior to applying, those came out a little orange 😅 but other than that, couldn’t be happier with the results! For my first ever time trying a self tanner, I’d call it a success! Def try it! The color is amazing
@@TheRoad2Rachel hey thank you sm for the response!! This video and you have convinced me :)
I give the effort for this video a straight 10/5. Bless your soul!
Is Loving Tan good for very pale skin? I don’t want to accomplish “fake effect” just healthy sun touched
Honestly I have been terrified to try self tanner and this video made me feel so much more comfortable. Thank you!
The St. Moriz mousse is a lot better. I have pretty sensitive skin and it doesn’t bother me, plus the application is easy and the fade is nice.
My favorites st tropez express dark mousse. Color guard needs to be rinsed off after 2-8 hours. Fake bake mousse or spray & mitt. After color guard is rinsed off. Sun labs ultra dark cream or mousse.
All 3 proform well and priced $21-$35.00.
Remove tanner trim hands with toothpaste & table salt with scrub with a kitchen type scrub sponge. Just my 2 cents. Sher
Mist self tanner can still be used with a mit just spray the mit. I like tanwise.
St. Moriz (dark) is probably my favorite self-tanner if you like non-orange results (at least that's how it is on my skin). I use the "lotion", though, except it doesn't seem like a lotion? It's more like a liquid to me. The lotion does have the color guard and it dries quickly (unless it's really humid out). I have never had any streaks and it does fade evenly. (Your experience with the mist just sounds awful! I stay away from all mists!!) You might like it! P.S. The price is much better at Target compared to Amazon. :D
The time, dedication, and research you put into this video deserves so much more recognition. I am rooting for you, keep up the hard work you are on your way to unstoppable success! ❤️❤️
Aw thank you so much ♥️♥️
Thank you so much for this video! I know it was lots of work and it's appreciated.💕
You are very welcome 😊♥️
Try SoSu dripping gold! Deepest tan ever, no smell next day and fades beautifully!
Ohhhh never heard of this great tip!
So I honestly dont care about smell but I know alot of people do. I just feel like its only on you for a short time so as long as you dont smell rancid or horrible- I'm cool with that self tan smell! I did get the Tanologist water but I agree that it doesn't get as dark as loving tan so I should maybe do 2 applications. I did ask you before about tanning the face and I know you did say makeup but I dont wear makeup everyday so I hate having that pale face and dark body! Even bronzer doesn't work well for color matching. I would love to know some ideas on tan serums like Ilia or maybe the Coola sunless tan serum? Do you use anything like this and if so I'd love to see a video on your thoughts! I appreciate the time you took to make this!!! Oh and I use just latex medical gloves for applying my tanner...have you ever used them? Great video! Thank you 🙂
Totally feel that if you don’t wear makeup it gets iffy! I haven’t tried but will look into them 😊
Great video! I love bondi sands, it’s my favourite. I always go over my “dry” areas with a baby wipe gently and blend it in, helps a lot!
i have the same issue fading in that arm area for loving tan! glad to hear it isn’t just me lol!
omg same here
The video I've always wanted but thought was too impractical to find. Then I found you!! Thank you :)
Love your videos Abbey. I always feel well-informed and energized after watching you. Thanks for the inspiration.
So helpful!! I've only tried the Sally Hansen mousse and I think it's alright. I'm interested to try others though!! Thank you for putting so much time into this video ❤️
Of course 😊
Hello abbey ❤️
Thank you for the incredible breakdown. I must say I always thrilled to stumble on youtubers that just get it right. You're breakdown was impressive and impeccable. Thank you for 9 weeks of hard work . I think it truly paid off. I was just in the neighborhood looking at what to buy because I decided I'm not going to do the whole tanning bed thing. But I have a question for yourself or any of the professional self appliers that might see this. Is there a product to help apply on the back of you can't get someone to? I know they make like back scrubbing loofahs but what about tanning applicators? Thank you again 💓
I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed it! I have never tried a back applicator that I felt really worked... such a bummer! wish there were a good one
The best self Tanner hands down is Korres face and body tanning serum. I will be intrested to see if you have it in this video if you do not trust me it is a must buy my mother is obsessed with this brand and they definitely know their skin care it was genius of them to make this. Please try it if you have not I promise you that anything that I recommend is top notch. Also I have not seen anyone review it on TH-cam I mean I'm sure someone has but any of the big names that I watch I have not seen anybody try it it is a new product they came out with a few months ago bought brand does not get nearly enough recognition as they should.
I don't self tan but I did it for a video, I have tried them all I love putting the loreal on my face with the tanologst tan AF has so many different kinds. I couldn't do it on my face but it just is so blotchy to me I am obsessed with tanning in the beds and outside but I really did think the face Tanner for tanologst was a waste but didn't make me break out nor did the loreal like it was perfect if you want color and don't wear makeup and didn't tan much that week. It makes you glow. Loving tan was too crazy once they changed formulas.
came across your video and been bingeing them now lol. Question? Have you tried any of the other Tanologist tanners like the express extra dark one? Just wondering if they all perform as well as this one.
Tanologist smells so good like SO good compared to other self tanners I’ve used. It’s a very light fresh smell doesn’t smell like chemicals like st moriz for example smelt HORRID and very strong. The smell was a huge shock to me I loved it
Reviewing self tanner in a white top- you are brave!! 😆👏👏
Backfired the B Tan leaked on me after 😅😅😅😅
Hey Abbey,
Love your channel. I think you’re going to be incredibly successful here on TH-cam. (: My question for you is, do you using anything at the end of your tanning week to remove the former tan completely or do you simply apply over the faded existing tan? Personally, I just apply over my existing tan once I feel like it has completely faded. Also, just thought you would appreciate knowing I did purchase tanologist on your recommendation and I am enjoying it so far!
Awww thank you so much! Yes I do I use an exfoliating mitt 😊 and yay I’m so glad!
Great job..wow 9 weeks worth of great reviews thank you
Of course!! I know I never want to film self tanner clips again after that 😂😂
Korres face and body tanning serum is as perfect as I have found. I started off using it just on my face because I received a sample size and I'm very picky on what I put on my face and then I fell in love so I ordered the full size it is not cheap but it's huge and it lasts. I think it's because it's made by a skin care company I'm not really sure but it is amazing also I think it's James Read sleeping tanning mask is also great
Best self tanner i've ever use is Sosu ultra dark! I've tried a lot of them but tanologist never tried it!
I normally love these comparison videos and have made purchases based on the very helpful recommendations. But this one really missed the mark for me. The evaluation criteria was all spot on, but I would have preferred to see a line-up of the real heavy hitters in the self tan market. Loving Tan made sense, but where was St. Tropez? Isle of Paradise? Bondi Sands? That is the type of side-by-side self tanner review that I think makes sense.
OMG I LOVE your makeup in this video! What lipstick and eyeshadow are you wearing here??
Ive been tanning and using every self tanner especially loving tan, and people would wonder what this smell was coming off of me, so would I and it would drive me crazy at this BO smell, because when I have no tanner on I do not smell one bit.
know exactly what you're talking about!
Bless you for doing this!!! I just bought tanologist foam on a whim because the smell was appealing to me in the store ( I am sensitive to floral and loud scents). Other foams have gone on well in the past and I am hoping this checks all the boxes as well. I did have a question though...do you prep your skin a certain way before applying? I know some say to exfoliate and moisturize a day before... I was not sure if this applies to foam applications as well.
I was so unimpressed with the Jergens one! It’s so light for a “dark”. Especially for $20. Go with tanologist or bondi sands!
Right! Ugh
