Self Tanner & Tanning Application Kit - Bundle of Sunless Tanning Lotion Made With Natural & Organic Ingredients, Exfoliation Mitt, Body and Face Applicator Glove for a Professional Self Tan

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.

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.

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.

Let me start by saying that this self tanner cream is a game-changer! What truly sets this self tanner apart is the natural-looking tan I got with it. With this cream, the result was a beautifully sun-kissed glow that looks like I’ve spent a week on a tropical beach (no orange tones!). And the best part? When I want a deeper tan, I can easily reapply it. I truly appreciate the fact that I can see the list of ingredients and actually pronounce and understand what's in it. All natural ingredients, that leave my skin not just tanned but also super soft and hydrated. If you're in search of a self tanner that will leave you looking like a bronzed goddess without any of the typical drawbacks, this is the product for you. It has an amazing shea butter fragrance, heavenly texture, gives a natural-looking tan, and has an affordable price, it ticks all the boxes for the perfect self tanner! I’ve been using it for some months now and I’m never going back to my pale skin 😂 I shared it with some friends, and they also loved it!

Great product! Doesn’t leave you orange or streaky. The initial smell is great but after a couple hours it definitely has the fake tan smell.
