b.tan Dark Self Tanner Mousse | Get Tanned - Best, 1 Hour Express Sunless Tanning Foam, No Fake Tan Smell, Ultra Dark Bronzing Glow, Face & Body, Vegan, Cruelty Free, 6.7 Fl Oz

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.First 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!Second, 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.Third, 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.Fourth, 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.Fifth, 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!!

As someone who loves a deep, sun-kissed (or in my case, sunless-kissed!) glow but tries to avoid sun damage, finding the perfect self-tanner has been a bit of a quest. So, when I saw the b.tan Ultra Dark Self Tanner Mousse proclaiming "I Want The Darkest Tan Possible," I knew I had to give it a try.First off, the packaging is sleek, and the "1 Hour Express" claim definitely piqued my interest – who doesn't want a quick tan? The mousse itself is a rich, dark guide color, which I actually prefer because it helps you see exactly where you're applying it, minimizing streaks. I always make sure to exfoliate thoroughly and moisturize dry areas like elbows and knees beforehand, which is crucial with any self-tanner, especially one this dark.Application was pretty smooth with a tanning mitt. The mousse spreads easily and the guide color ensures no missed spots. The real test, of course, is the development. I left it on for the full hour, as recommended for the darkest results, and rinsed off.The initial result was impressive! I emerged with a deep, golden-brown tan that looked surprisingly natural and not at all orange, which is a common fear with darker tanners. Over the next few hours, it continued to deepen slightly, giving me that truly "ultra dark" look I was aiming for. The fade has also been relatively even for a dark tan, though like all self-tanners, regular moisturizing helps prolong its life and ensure a graceful exit.If you're like me and truly desire a very deep, noticeable tan without the sun, the b.tan Ultra Dark Self Tanner Mousse is an excellent contender. It's fast, delivers on its dark promise, and gives a beautiful, believable color. Just make sure to prep your skin well for the best results!

I liked this self tanner. I bought it for a Caribbean cruise because my skin was quite pale & I just wanted a healthy glow without cooking myself in the brutal heat. It worked out well & looked surprisingly natural. There is a slight smell, but I did t find it overwhelming. Also it went on nicely, no streaks, none of the orange fake tan look from days gone by. Will purchase again the next time I need to get my glow on.
