Self Tanner Lotion & Mitt Set - USA Made with Natural & Organic Ingredients

This was my first time using a self tanner and it worked very well for me. It had a pleasant smell to it during the application process (unlike the typical spray tan smell). This tanning lotion gave me a nice and natural tan with the first coat but, because I was using it for a dance competition, I applied a second coat to make it a bit darker. The color takes about 6-8 hours to fully develop so I put it on after my night-time shower and let it do its magic while I slept. It didn't stain any clothes or sheets. I received several compliments on how natural my tan looked. I found it relatively easy to apply to my skin with the mitt. I only used the smaller mitt on my face as I could easily use the bigger one for the rest of my body. The color of the lotion is white and it doesn't have a guide color so you need to make sure that you rub it in thoroughly and evenly. I recommend testing it out on a body part/area that you can easily cover to get practice in before applying to your entire body. Don't forget to shave your skin at least one or more hours prior to applying the tanner so that it doesn't collect in your pores/irritate your skin and remember to exfoliate your whole body just prior to applying the tanner. Hands and feet are tricky because the skin is dryer than the rest of the body so they can absorb more of the tanner and get darker than you want, especially around your knuckles. I put a thick layer of lotion on my fingers, elbows, knees, ankles, and toes to prevent overly dark/dirty looking skin and that worked well for me. I also used a make-up remover wipe on the palms of my hands, over my finger and toe nails, and over my knuckles after I applied the tanner so that those areas wouldn't get too dark. I used the tanner on my face and it did not cause me to break out at all (I have combination/oily skin). I was a bit worried that it would fade horribly on my face as the skin under my eyes can get really dry and the spray tans I have gotten in the past have faded poorly in this area. However, it faded seamlessly across my entire body and I was rather pleased. The tan lasted me about 7 days (after I applied the second coat of tanner) before I exfoliated it all off. My face did fade faster (only lasted about 4-5 days because I had to wear full face make-up every day for the competition so it got scrubbed more thoroughly than the rest of my body) but I was easily able to hide the color difference with make-up.

This USA-made self tanning lotion has completely changed my approach to achieving a healthy glow without sun exposure. The organic ingredient formula delivers the most natural-looking tan I've experienced from any sunless tanner, developing into a beautiful golden color that looks genuinely sun-kissed rather than artificial or orange-tinted. What impressed me most is how forgiving this formula is during application. The included tanning mitt makes even distribution effortless, and the lotion blends smoothly without creating streaks or patches. The development time is gradual and predictable, allowing me to build up color slowly to achieve exactly the shade I want without overdoing it. The organic ingredients make a noticeable difference in both skin comfort and results quality. Unlike chemical-heavy tanners that can be drying or irritating, this formula actually leaves my skin feeling moisturized and healthy. There's no harsh chemical smell - just a light, pleasant scent that doesn't linger or become overwhelming. The mitt included is high-quality and washable, creating smooth, professional-looking application every time. The barrier it provides prevents stained palms and ensures even coverage across all areas. The combination of quality tanner and proper application tool delivers salon-quality results at home. The color develops beautifully over 4-6 hours and lasts about a week with gradual, natural fading rather than patchy wear-off. The USA manufacturing and organic certification give me confidence in the ingredient quality and safety standards. Highly recommend for anyone seeking natural-looking self tanning results - this delivers premium quality with organic ingredients and foolproof application for beautiful, healthy-looking color.

i am giving this a premature review and will update in the morning once tan has fully developed! So my holy grail has always been josie marans argan liquid gold tanning oil. I had ran out and wanted to venture off to try another organic brand that is good for your skin. As i am currently pregnant so it is important i tried a brand that is good for your skin. I shook this tube as well as possible, will not lie i am no beginner to self tanning but the white cream did scare me a bit as there is no tracker. I had exfoliated the morning of, moisturized my skin from head to toe making sure to give attention to the tough skin the best. Tonight i moisturized my entire body again. Waited for it to settle in real well and also on my knee caps, elbows, cuticles etc. i then applied a thin layer of Bag Balm. Let that settle and then began the tan! This makes all the difference in those areas! I started from the bottom and worked my way up. I was very thorough and on the areas you apply a thinner layer i buffed them all out very well with a makeup brush (as usual) along to my face/hairline as well. .i also took the face mitt and used that to buff those areas as i don't think i will be actually using it for my face. I like the idea of an extra small buffer for my feet, ankles etc. So that came in handy. I highly recommend getting the cream woth the mitt set. For my back i used my self tanning back applicator for the stubborn middle area that's almost impossible to get too, again blending extremely well. The cream blends/spread pretty well. It didn't seem to go on patchy or anything . The smell to me as applying in my opinion is great! It is a subtle vanilla coconut and most definitely nothing artificial smelling. If you have a sensitive nose you will be able to handle this i promise! I am also currently 26 weeks pregnant so if i think the smell is subtle, it definitely is!! Now i just hope it doesn't turn into your usual corn chip smell as it starts to set. I applied before bed so once my review is posted i will revise it and to give my final first thoughts. Fingers crossed it's a winner in my book. You can never go wrong with finding another self tanner you like. So far i was pleasantly surprised and i enjoyed my night of pampering. *********************** UPDATE - i woke up with the most Beautiful tan. Very little streaking, no orange color..beautiful natural bronze shade. It paid off to be extra thorough. As i said blend, blend, blend. I always take a makeup brush and blend the harder areas extra well and i never have an issue. I will say if you have bruises anywhere this will add to the color. So don't be overwhelmed if you think you were the one that wasn't careful enough. In the winter i always get dry cracked skin on ny hands and i have permanent marks from them. So no matter what self tanner i use my hands always look a bit off. It just is what it is..i make sure to go lighter on them and blend extra well. I just applied another round . So far i am really liking it and depending on how the next several trials go i will stick with this one. I am almost in my 3rd trimester and i don't get to be in the sun enough. This self tanner gets the job done in very little time. If you are on the fence just try it. For the price the size is very good and there is a lot of lotion in it. I hope my review helps others!

I’m in my 60’s, and am very consistent with facial sunscreen ( youngsters take note, wear your sunscreen or you will age your face prematurely or even possibly develop skin cancers! ) but even I can appreciate the healthy glow of a nice tan. I’m just not able to lie in the sun for hours to get it! I grew up where QT ( quick tan) was the only sort of self tanning lotion…….and yes, it did turn your skin orange. Plus it smelled bad……like smearing old suntan lotion all over you. There really is an “art” to self tanning, and because I was tired of looking pale from a long winter I investigated what is available out there. There are quite a few as it turns out. I got it narrowed down to 2, and decided on Beauty by Earth. The reviews were overwhelmingly positive, and I buy what others are encouraged to share. I bought the kit, it comes with a generous tube of the lotion, an exfoliant mit, and two different size applicator mits, one for your body and one for your face. I did go to YouTube to see the best way to apply a self tanner- you’d think it would be obvious but even good tanners require a few rules when it comes getting the best results. I exfoliated in the shower my arms, legs, chest and face. Then after drying off I applied a good body lotion to the areas I had exfoilated. Then I took my time and put the tanner on the mit and applied carefully, being aware of ankles and elbows and behind the knees where a self tanner can concentrate if you aren’t careful. It doesn’t take a lot of the cream, better to start with a small amount than to just saturate the mit. Using too much will result in an uneven look. I found that an amount the size of a quarter worked well for each area. I was careful around my ankles, and I used a fluffy make up brush with a light dab to do in between my fingers and toes. On my face I took the smaller mit and used an even smaller amount, and again used the brush to blend it in with my hairline. I bought the lighter shade, I was not after a deep bronze beach tan😉. The tube of cream should last me a long time; I’ll most likely do a light “touch up” every 10 days or so just to maintain the color I like, it will fade over time but it does NOT come off on your towel, or clothing, or sheets, although I allow about ten minutes before getting dressed. The smell of the cream is very nice, tropical smelling, and not a hint of that suntan lotion scent, although a few times a day I would get a light whiff of a similar smell, but definitely not anything that bothered me about using it. After a few hours you’ll start to see results. The very first time I did my self tan with Beauty by Earth I was sold- the color was exactly as I had hoped it would be, not too deep or dark but absolutely like a nice suntan. Again, I did not go overboard with my application to my skin……you can always go back and “ build” a darker layer if you desire. I was careful applying around the areas where a tanner can build up like my ankles, and I was careful to not smear it on haphazardly but rather aware of having a subtle end result and taking care to apply it mindfully. Hands down a great product…….delivers what it says as long as you apply it right. NO OBVIOUS ORANGE tint, and smells great with only a very faint occasional sunscreen whiff while it works its magic. Great results, I chose the color that was right for my fair/medium skin and the process of applying it was not hard at all, although I do recommend taking your time and to be aware of how you apply it. You’ll find you’ll be rewarded with a nice tone of tan that looks like you were out by the pool for a little while…..without the damage of getting sunburned!!

This went on so easy and NO streaks! Very hydrating to for my very dry climate! Color is perfect and not orange! Looks very natural! Does NOT transfer onto cloths or sheets! Lasts about 3-4 days. Been using it for over a year and can’t live without it!

I’m extremely pale and just don’t tan at all in the sun, I burn & freckle, but sometimes I’d rather not look like a ghost every day of the year. I used this product in 2017 and loved it, so I decided to get some more last week. It went on very smoothly with the included mitt and smelled nice, did not stain my clothes or sheets, and I developed a nice color over the next eight hours that looked natural — not orange, fake, or streaky — on my paper-white skin. 36hrs after application, I woke up in the middle of the night completely speckled in horrifically itchy tiny raised red bumps, predominantly on my forearms and stomach. There was literally nothing else that could’ve caused it, and once I showered (right after I was done panicking), I got pretty immediate relief. I also used some hydrocortisone cream to make the extreme swelling go down. I don’t usually deal with much skin sensitivity to products despite dealing with mast cell activation syndrome, and this did not happen last time I used it, so it just really surprised me and made me hesitant to try any other kind of sunless tanner. Lucky for me, the lotion washed right off in under ten minutes. But so did the tan, which is not what people hope to see in a tanning cream, so I docked another star for that. Seeing all the great reviews, it’s probably unlikely you will have the same reaction I did. It’s not 100% the fault of the lotion; everyone’s bodies respond differently to different products. That being said, if you’re at all concerned about skin sensitivity, do a patch test and let it sit for 48hrs (allergic reactions to cosmetics can take 1-2 days to appear). I promise you do NOT want this rash — not only does it itch like crazy and worsen the more you scratch it, but the red dots from an allergic contact dermatitis rash take weeks to fade. *I would post a photo of it, but my arms bear old scars that may be triggering for some so I’ll skip it and let you Google “poison Ivy rash.”

As a black woman, I tan to get an even skin glow in the summer and with the weather changing I tried this out and it really works well. Doesn't stain sheets or clothes, my skin is even and catches the sun well (aha bonjour!), it smells like cookies with a slight coconut smell. I did get a little on my palm when I was doing the back of my hands and you can see it in the picture. I wish I had gotten a darker shade but overall I like it and I look amazing.

I was nervous to try this out a self tanner. This is my first experience and wow was I impressed! I purchased the Medium to dark cream kit that comes with the 3 mits one for exfoliating, one for the body and a small one for face application. I exfoliated first with a dry body brush then again in the shower with the exfoliating mitt and a body scrub. When I was dry I applied a small about to my lower legs then upper and continued up my body blending it in as I went. I used the clean side to fully buff in the product. I finished with my face and then set a 15 min timer before I got dressed. As the day progressed I noticed a gradual change in my skin color and it definitely looked natural. I thought I might need to do a second application on my legs once it hit 8 hours but I chose to wait till the next day. I’m glad I did because when I woke up my color was perfect and I was very happy with the results. I waited 4 days and replied and already in less than a couple hours my tan looks fresh and still natural. I did shave just before my first application and realized after that it’s not suggested however I didn’t see anything unusual on my legs. The second application I did what was suggested and shaved a day before I applied the tanner. Over all I loved this product and will definitely repurchase. Also the scent I would say smells good but it also doesn’t not smell bad it is barely noticeable.

So far, so good. I received my Beauty By Earth Self Tanning Bundle quickly using Amazon Prime. The bundle came with self-tanner lotion, body applicator mitt, face applicator mitt and the exfoliating mitt which are without a doubt definitely worth it to have when using a self-tanner. I have only once ever used a self-tanner and the whole orange look didn't work for me so until I came across Beauty By Earth self-tanner, I would never even think to use one again. But seeing as I live up in the frigid North and was sick of seeing my pasty white skin I decided to try out this stuff. With ingredients you can pronounce, that's always a bonus. I tried just my legs first before I went to bed figuring this way if I didn't like the results no one would notice and I could send it back. So I prepared my legs and feet (they save shaving right before application can leave orange dots so I refrained from shaving my legs that night) with the exfoliating mitt. Once I was out of the shower and dried off I applied a small amount of body lotion to my knees and feet, let that soak in then proceeded to apply a small amount of the self-tanner to the body applicator mitt and rubbed into my legs in a circular motion (as suggested). I did it a few times making sure my whole leg was covered. I went over my feet and knees last just using the lotion residue left on the applicator mitt. The lotion has a very light scent when applying. I hardly noticed it. It is a light/medium weight white lotion - goes on clear. Fast forward to the morning. Legs looked to be like I got a touch of colour but I couldn't really tell if they were orange or not. I didn't think so. Unfortunately I did not take a picture before I started for comparison. A few parts of my feet and my ankles were a bit darker but I blame that on my lack of application knowledge skills. Since my legs turned out okay, I applied the lotion to my stomach and back the next morning. This time, I did notice a bit of a 'self tanning' smell which I am not too fond of but it isnt too bad. And if I can get a 'tan' then its worth it. That evening my stomach colour matched my legs, with just a touch of colour. The day after that, I prepared my legs (no shaving, exfoliate, cream on feet/knees etc.) and applied another coat on both my legs and stomach. I did my feet and knees but only using the remaining residue that was on the mitt and made sure to rub it in well. I also used a makeup wipe and 'rubbed' down my ankle and a bit over my feet and knees so they didn't get dark. I also bit the bullet and did the rest of my body including my face. The 2nd application on my stomach and legs did seem to give me more of darker sun-kissed, golden colour. So far no blotchy or streaky application. I ensured my lotion was applied everywhere and I used both sides of the application mitt (one side for the lotion and then went over every spot with the other side of it just to be sure). Fast forward a few days. A third coat was applied to my legs and stomach and a 2nd coat to arms, chest and face. I am impressed with the results. Seems that for my skin, the colour builds on itself (for me its 3 or 4 applications - any more than 4 spread out over 2 days may be too 'fake' looking) and I have a nice sun-touched glow. Nothing dark, nothing orange. I don't look like I have been down South for a tropical sun vacation but I am no longer pasty winter white. I think this Beauty by Earth lotion will be fantastic to use before a vacation. Will give you just enough colour to not to look like Casper the ghost until I can get real a real suntan. Plus, much safer for your skin so there is a huge plus. I will recommend it and probably look at other Beauty by Earth products as well.

I’ve been using this for about a month now and I love it! I’ve never used self tanner before, but I have had spray tans. In my opinion this stuff fades better than spray tans. Possibly because it’s not as dark in the first go, but you can build the colour, which is great. My first time using it, I found it easy to apply. I did it before bed like most people mentioned. I followed the instructions and I watched a few videos online. I prepped my skin with the exfoliating mitt first, then I had a bath with a little bit of baby oil to moisturize my skin. After I got out and towel dried I added some cream to my ankles, knees, elbows and hands. Then I applied the cream using the mitt and rubbed in circular motions. It’s tricky because it goes on kind of clear, so you can’t tell exactly where you’re spreading it. I didn’t put any thick lotion directly on my feet, ankles, knees or hand, but instead I used what was left on the mitt to rub on those spots afterwards. This ensured I wouldn’t get any orange staining. I wore dark loose clothing and went to bed. I have white sheets and it didn’t even end up on my sheets! I was expecting a darker result, but I have olive toned skin, which might be why I didn’t turn out as dark as I thought I was going to. I ended up reapplying the following two days and the colour started to build. It wasn’t orange and ended up looking like a decent tan. I’ve been keeping my skin hydrated with lotion in between applications and applying every 1-2 days. I’ve worn a white t-shirt after applying the tanning lotion a few times and a little bit shows up in the seams of the shirt, but I’m able to wash it out. I also don’t apply it to my face. I did it the first time and I broke out bad! I have sensitive skin to begin with, so I should’ve known better. As for my back, I get my husband to apply it. :-)

Overall a great product. Here are the good sides of it: -Great smell! The smell is strong and smells like coconut (I loved the smell...smells like a sunscreen smell) and doesn't have that bad smell the day after the color sticks to your skin. -The cream is transparent when you put it on your skin. I've had a few other tanning lotions which were leaving my skin looking like I had been in the mud....only after I took a shower the next day would I be able to look normal. Not this one...you can apply it on yourself and no one can see that you have applied a tanning lotion on..until the next day when you wake up and you are tanned. -I like the color it looks very natural! The less good sides are these: -I am very pale and bought the darker version. I think the color is very subtle on my skin...I don't look really tanned. However I find the color very natural looking so I will still purchase this in the futur. But if you are looking to look really tanned I don't suggest to buy this lotion....or perhaps I didn't put enough cream on myself who knows. -Next time I will not purchase the gloves that come with this. The gloves help put the cream more evenly on your skin and in that, these gloves do a great job! However, these gloves are not impermeable inside and so my fingers keep getting orange!

I have never used a self-tanning product before other than tanning-bed formula creams, so I can't compare it with anything else. I do however tan easily and I was amazed how dark I got after just 1 application. This product definitely works. Some people mentioned the smell of it. It has a nice, mild fragrance when you first put it on. If you have ever been in a tanning bed, and have the after tanning smell, hours later that's what it reminds me of. However it's not a bad smell but I only imagine some people do not like it. For that I would recommend applying the product in the evening before you gonto bed, and in the morning take a shower if the smell bothers you. I applied a 2nd application about 4 days later and I have to say the "tanning-bed smell" was absent the second time around. I also got so dark that I don't even need a 3rd application as I am afraid my coworkers will accuse me that I had left Ontario and traveled somewhere south 🤣 I do recommend this product. It's also a quite large tube and definitely enough for several applications. Ps: I love the scrubbing glove, great for skin rejuvenation :) I also used a loofah in the bath prior to applying. The cream feels nice and light and easy to work it in the skin. No streaks however I do recommend using a latex glove to save yoir nails going yellowish. I first used the application glove but somehow still managed to discolor my nails...(maybe as I exchanged the glove from one hand to another?) Still, great product! 👍

Great colour, but it’s hard to get an even tan. I’ve been using self tan for years now and won’t be ordering this product again. The product goes on white like a sunblock and you have to rub it in until there is no colour. Since there is no guide colour, it’s so easy to miss parts which makes the tan super streaky (this self tan is NOT streak proof). I have super clear skin, I put this on my face and broke out the next day. I also found my face and neck incredibly itchy after using it so it’s not great for sensitive areas. The product is marketed as “no scent” but I could smell it on me for days after, it definitely has a bad self tan smell after applying.
