Body Drench QuickTan Bronzing Spray Instant Self Tanner, Medium/Dark, 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)

Update 4-18-2014: The color faded completely after 7 days. I could tell by the fake tan line I created using a speedo. I recommend applying every 4 to 5 days in order to maintain the color. bottom line - great instant spray tan at home that you can do even on your back without help. natural color, highly recommended Color : a natural medium tan color. Not orange. Looks natural to me and my friends Smell: This has a very pleasant smell, strong and a little bit perfume like, but pleasant. It is not at all like the strong chemical smell that I typically associate with self tanners. Application: You must apply this in an area that you can blast clean with water or that you are not worried about staining. The spray mist will settle on everything by the time you are done with your whole body. Do it in the shower our outside on the lawn or patio. Dry Time: Fast! I would say I was dry 5 minutes after putting it on. It will still rub off on light colored clothing though until your first shower. The Clean Up: In my shower, the spray settles everywhere and the white shower was golden tan as well. I used the shower wand to wash down the entire inside of the shower and the color just washed down the drain no scrubbing. Fantastic!! How much? I am 6' tall 170lbs. I was able to do two full body applications using one and a quarter cans, so my estimate is that two cans will give you three full body applications. I tend to have a heavy trigger finger so if you are smaller than me and more reserved you can go further with it I am sure. My Story: I am naturally pretty pale and it takes me several days covered in SPF 30 and up to get a good base each summer. I am a typical Euro/American Mutt. A Little Irish, a little English, some Polish, and Spanish mixed in as well. Dark Hair, pale skin, and no free time to tan. I was doing a weekend at a beach house with friends and decided to give this a try. I have been recommending it to everyone I talk to since the first application. I stood inside my shower and closed it up. I have a window in my shower and this game me the ventilation I needed to breathe since the spray fills the air. I wore a black Speedo to give myself a tan line effect and it worked just as planned. Make sure to scrub the bottoms of your feet after words because you will be stepping abound in it and stain the bottom of your feet. If you leave it on too long the bottoms of your feet will be the tannest part of your body. I put Vaseline on my toes so that the spray didn't darken the cuticles, nails, and knuckles and I also used a typical latex glove to keep my hands safe from the spray. The tan is instant and you don't need to rub it in, but I did anyway. I was able to get every part front and back without help. I then scrubbed the heck out of the soles of my feet. It dried super fast and then I went to bed. The next morning I took a shower and saw the water had a pale brown tint for the first minute. But my tan held fast and looked fantastic. I didn't need to but I decided to do a second coat that night and darken it up. It got a few shades darker and still looked natural. One important trick is to not spray into the areas that don't get dark anyways, like up in the armpits and the underside of the forearm. Keep the applications to these areas very light if at all and it will look more natural. Also it is a good idea to wipe the tanner off of the knee caps and elbows so they don't get too dark either. Dark and even everywhere is always a tell tale sigh of a fake tan. Also on the second application I did not apply to the face and neck areas, most people don't need to tan those areas because they get enough sun. Making your face and neck too dark can really ruin a self tanning experience, and your vacation photos Also, very important to remember to use sunscreen still to prevent sun damage. Self tanners do not increase your skin's natural ability to defend against UV rays. I recommend this one CeraVe SPF 50 Sunscreen Spray, 5 Ounce read my review and see why Read my revi

This is the BEST self tanner on the market. Its great over a tan as you start to fade your natural tan AND its excellent on pure virgin fair skin that hasnt seen sun in months or years. The key to a great looking tan is in the application. The tan will last about 4-7 days. And once you have it going you can quickly respray every few days to keep it fresh. When you spray hold the can far enough away so that it doesnt apply the product too wet.. You dont want it to be streaky but ratner "mist" on your skin. I apply it and let it dry for 10 minutes then go back for a second coat being careful to watch how my skin feels.. If it feels too wet or tacky, the product is being applied too heavy. You dont want tanner running down your neck because you are too excited about how great you will look if you get REALLY tan today! Go slow..and yo will lobpve it. For me a 2 day spray process is best and i always apply at night then sleep in black clothes. This stuff DOES get all over sheets and bedding BUT will completely wash out.. Buy dark sheets if it bothers you. Its goes on with a bronzer so you can see where its being applied then the color intensifies overnight. Shower lightly the next morning to rinse or you will smell like the tanner as your body heats up during the day. Be careful not to over apply on your neck..again to the point where it feels tacky or too wet or it can streak,,,also keep it off your hands and wash reallllllly well... But LIGHTLY mist your hands up to your knuckles realy fast at the end to give a little color to your hands,,, this product is excellent color wise giving a bronze warm glowing tan.. It is not bright orange and the mist spray application in the spray bottles is great just give a good 2 days to apply so that you get buildable even coverage... I like to do my face, chest and arms,, and my lower legs during fall or winter when i might not be in summer clothing or on the beach... Because i really dont care if i havewhite thighs or a white tummy under my clothes.. The first time i used it i over sprayed and did t let it dry before i sprayed some more.. Wanting to get really tan but then realized its better to hold the can far away and do a couple of coats day ne.. Sleep.. Wash off... Then do it again the next night so that in 2 days you have the even bronze color you want. Believe me, even after the first day people will notice you have color..but hy day 2 you will look like you were on vacation for a week. Dont forget the back of your arms.. Hold the bottle far away or have someone do it for you.. Just dont overspray (did i say not to overspray??) then wipe your elbows off.. And always wash your hands after! .. One last thing... If the nozzle is getting product on it or excess tanner is pooling around the front of the area where it comes out, Wipe it clean and dont spray your body because it will splatter..this would be a sign that you have been holding the can too close and the product is not reachng your body but rather going back to the can.. Ok, one LAST thing.. Your eyebrows. Spray your face ( do not blot at all) but blot your eyebrows or hairline off afterwards with a towel..softly. Good luck!

As someone who really loves the deep dark color associated with tanning, I always stayed away from self tanners, leery of the color I have seen other people receive due to using them. I have to say I am very impressed with this product! I reviewed tons of self tanners before settling on this one. It had so many reviews saying that it gave a nice dark brown color, I decided why not. First I showered, exfoliated and shaved as I read to do. After letting my body completely dry, I put generous amounts of lotion on my feet, ankles, knees, elbows and hands and I also applied some moisturizer to the dry spots on my face. I then put on gloves and began spraying. The first round I sprayed 10 in away from the body as recommended and actually rubbed the tanner on my face, as spraying so far away from my face did not give the result I liked. I then let my body dry for 20-30 mn before applying a loose t-shirt and some pajama pants. I waited two full hours and checked my allover body color. I had a nice light brown glow, but decided it wasn't as dark as I would like so I sprayed round two, although this time I sprayed much closer, so I had brown puddles, and rubbed in very quickly with my gloves on. I also sprayed a light spritz on my feet and I also sprayed each hand quickly. After another two hours the color I developed was very nice and dark. The next morning, after I showered I was still very tan and my body was a brown color with no orange and no streaking. It looks like my real color when I tan in the tanning beds! As for clean up of this product, I used it in the shower because I read the mist gets everywhere and it does. I just turned on the shower, rinsed the color down the drain, and as for the spots on the shower walls I sprayed some bleach on, let the bleach sit for a few minutes, and then I wiped clean. The color wiped clean, with no stains anywhere. I did the spray with gloves on, although I did manage to get some on my fingertips. I went and washed my hands once noticing the color. I scrubbed for a bit and the color did come off of my finger tips. The smell of this product is almost a chocolate/cookie smell which smelled great. I went to bed after letting my body dry from the second spray, and I did not notice any staining on my sheets or pajamas, and the smell was completely gone by morning time. This product is great, and I loved it so much I just ordered three more cans, and plan on staying out of the tanning bed. This is really easy to apply, and I definitely recommend for first time self tanners as it is so easy to apply! Will definitely be using this from now on--oh and so far the color has lasted four days, but I also apply Ocean Potion Ever Glow daily to extend the color.

This product is really worth it. I am pretty pale and I was at first afraid when I read it's medium dark. The color is great. It wasn't a huge dramatic change. It just depends on how many times or how much you apply. I just got it yesterday and I shaved/ exfoliated before applying. I think it would be easier if I had gotten my boyfriend to spray me, because it was hard for me to do it evenly so I was rushing and rubbing it in with my hands. It does dry incredibly fast which is a good thing as long as you even it out and wash your hands quickly. I washed my hands afterwards and mostly it came off. They are still stained and the top of my hands are blotchy but nothing to freak out over. I washed my hands this morning and some of it even came off. I recommend this product to others. I have never really used spray tan except twice and once was professionally and the other time I had a defective bottle and turned me green. So this product was really great. probably not as great as the real spray tan at the tanning salon obviously because this is self tanning spray and it doesn't come with someone to do it for you! I like this spray like I said before, just my hands are blotchy and also a little on my feet. I recommend buying gloves or some type of thing to rub it in if you cannot spray evenly like me! Oh and be careful of the spots like between your fingers, knuckles, ankles, toes etc. Those are tough spots to do! I did put a lotion on my knees and certain spots. I will get my boyfriend to apply it on me the next time! I am thinking of buying some type of lotion or oil self tanning next time just to see if its easier to apply and rub in since I am horrible at doing it on my own! But the product is great and if you think you will have trouble spraying it on yourself, get someone else to do it for you!

I was BLOWN AWAY at just how well this spray tan works! Beautiful, bronze color and a sun-kissed radiant glow. I have already bought second and thirds of this stuff. The price cannot be beat! I was paying $50.00 and $60 a bottle at my local spray tanning spot.WOW! Let me begin by telling you why I so desperately needed this. My husband calls me "TRANSLUCENT" if that helps you out in any way. As a blond haired, fair skinned woman, I couldn't tan even if I tried. All of my life,I have wanted DESPERATELY to look great in a swimsuit, in a pair of shorts, skirts, tank tops...You name it! I was the girl who FRIED and got bubbles, or blisters (OUCH!...I know)..but you ladies from the 80's will understand. We had the BIG HAIR, leg warmers in winter, and bright neon colored clothes.All my friends tanned, that lovely caramel color, and I sizzled and resembled a lobster. People would say, "Oh, poor girl should have used sunblock!" That was the best I could do. Not anymore! I fell in love with spray tanning, and will never step foot in the sun, unless I am gardening, or on vacation with a giant hat, and umbrella. The color I get from this is amazing. Here's what you need to do to get a great tan: #1. First, shower & shave all areas where you need to.use an exfoliating body scrub, with fruit enzymes. (You can make your own out of granulated sugar, mixed with plain yogurt, and lemon juice.) #2. After scrubbing your body down from head to toe with a shower pouf, rinse it all off well. .I can't stress this enough!! EXFOLIATE ALL THE DEAD SKIN WELL, repeat 2 or 3 times.Then dry off completely. #3. I always cover myself with a TANNING EXTENDER, or PRIMER to help the tan last at least 2 or 3 days longer. It helps the tan "stick". #4. Let the tan extender dry for about 10 minutes, wrap hair up completely in a towel, with no hair showing. #5. Shake the tanning bottle well. Then test the sprayer-give it a slight squirt on your arm. Then rub it in, so you don't waste any. #6. Hold the can about 12 in. from the area of the body you are spraying. Use circular, but even strokes. #7. Close your eyes, and hold your breath-DO NOT INHALE THE MIST. Spray a light mist over your face. #8. Cover your entire body-front and back, Check in full length mirror to see if it is all even. #9. If you wish, add a 2nd coat of spray to get desired look. (YOU ARE NOW A BRONZE BEAUTY!) It takes a few times to get the "perfect look" for you. #10, (Optional) Every 3rd or 4th day, I like to alternate and use a 100% aloe gel and mix the spray with that and cover myself by rubbing it in all over. I mix this in my hand well, and then do my "touch ups", in between. Voila- Beach Blanket Bingo, BABY!! ENJOY!

If you love this product, one with much less hassle is Body Drench - same company - Whipped Chocolate Self-Tanning Mousse (a foam). It's available on Amazon. It is foolproof, and doesn't create a mess or get into your lungs like the spray. All Body Drench products are a beautiful color -- a tint of brown and red (giving you a sun-kissed look) and never orange. I'm very pale, so I need a natural look. IMPORTANT: For both products, the key is to get Powder-Free Latex Gloves (through Amazon), which allows the product to blend soooo well. As you're rubbing in, any excess product sticks to the gloves -- then all you have to do is swipe your hand up and down on your arm or leg to get it off and it will blend in perfectly. When spraying only, I used to get little tiny dots all over (after all, it is coming out of a spray can). Trust me, if you're having any trouble with self-tanners, it's because you're not using powder-free latex gloves. The Body Drench mousse smells like cookies, which I prefer to chemicals or perfume (like most tanners). I put the foam on at night before bed, sleep with it for 6-8 hours, then shower in the morning. If you apply it in the morning, it will streak or come off on your clothes. Also if you shower within 2-3 hours of applying, it will come right off. You need it to set for 6-8 hrs overnight without sweating or showering, then you must shower in the morning to get off that first layer, leaving just the tan behind. Note: When you first put on the foam, IT WILL BE LIGHT. That's OK; it'll take 1 hour to start turning darker, and the longer you leave it on (overnight), the better it will last. You can apply 1-2 layers at once, but since it gets darker, don't go overboard. If you wake up with streaks don't worry -- they will wash right off in the shower, leaving you with a very even tan. The foam is the only truly fool-proof tanner out there. I prefer the Body Drench Mousse (foam) to the spray because: 1) The spray gets everywhere - even if you spray in the shower, it will circulate in the air and turn everything red. I was also breathing it in, and my lungs were not happy about it! 2) You have to be very careful with the spray; any streaks you create won't fade off in the shower. 3) You can't "build" a tan with the spray - do it one night after the other - or it gets streaky and uneven. The foam is amazing; I can put it on one night after the other and once I shower the next morning, all streaks disappear. With the spray, I had to do one very careful spray, then wait a few days, exfoliate completely before spraying again. This was time-consuming. The foam takes MUCH less time, because it barely streaks and doesn't get all over the place. 4) The spray, after a few days, turns scaly and flakes off. The foam fades VERY evenly. The spray is a bit darker than the foam. But the darker the tan, the more it has to be perfect; any slight mistake with the spray is OBVIOUS. The foam is still dark enough to be great but makes tanning a quick, easy process. I no longer spend hours per week (which I used to with the spray) showering, exfoliating, drying off, preparing towels to catch the excess spray, spraying in the tub, standing by a fan, etc. The foam takes 5 minutes - I just slap on a layer every 2 or 3 nights. The Body Drench Foam also trumps lotions, such as Jergens or L'Oreal, which require you to apply daily, making it thick and uneven. Lotions are heavy and come RIGHT off in the pool. Body Drench spray and foam are very light. You're meant to sleep in it, and when you shower the next morning, the product comes off but the tan color stays on - which means your skin can breathe in summer versus having a thick layer of lotion on. Also, the foam and spray work wonderfully on your hands and feet (with the latex gloves!) whereas the lotions don't. I've been out of tanning beds for 4 years now and have used self-tanners the entire time since. I strongly believe that finding the right self-tanner makes all the difference!

THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST TANNING SPRAY EVER & I'VE TRIED THEM ALL!!! THE ONLY THING IT TANNED EVENLY WAS MY HANDS, THAT IT STAINED & HAD TO BE SCRUBBED OFF!!! THE SECOND TIME I USED GLOVES & IT WAS A LITTLE LESS STREAKED,BLOTCHY & SPOTTED, BUT TOOK OVER AN HOUR TO EVEN COME CLOSE TO BEING EVEN!!! I HATE TO GIVE BAD REVIEWS & TRIED TO CONTACT THE SELLER FOR A REFUND OR EXCHANGE OVER A WEEK AGO & RECEIVED NO REPLY!!!! I SUGGEST USING "SALLY HANSEN AIRBRUSH LEGS, DEEP GLOW' IS GREAT & DRIES VERY FAST, & IT DOESN'T HAVE A BAD SMELL, LIKE A LOT OF THEM...OR FOR EVERYDAY "OCEAN POTION EVER GLOW" IS LIGHT BUT NEVER LEAVES STREAKS & SMELLS FANTASTIC"!!! ALSO "BIG SEXY TAN SPRAY' IS GREAT & SMELLS GOOD TOO!!! EVEN MOST OF THE MUCH CHEAPER ONES WORK BETTER THAN THIS SPRAY, SORRY "BODY DRENCH" SOME OF YOUR LOTIONS ARE GOOD BUT THIS SPRAY LOOKS REALLY FAKE & UNEVEN, RUNS & STREAKS, MAKES A TERRIBLE MESS IN SHOWER, & [YOU WILL NEED A MASK TO BREATHE, OR OXYGEN] GLOVES, & OVER AN HOUR TO KILL ... INCREDIBLY HUGE "FAIL"!!!! :( I CANT BELIEVE ALL THE GOOD REVIEWS & AGREE W/ THE REVIEWER THAT SUGGESTED SOME OF THESE PPL MUST WORK FOR THE COMPANY !!!

This product definitely gives an instant tan. Unlike other tanners, it goes on almost like a milk chocolate brown color (no red or orange hues) and dries to a very natural tan look. If you spray it on yourself, it's very easy to get blotches and dark spots, so I find it necessary to rub in for evenness. Personally, I have found that it comes off on clothing very easily. Much of the tanning effect comes from the dyes drying on your skin's surface, not actually pigmenting your skin. As a result, it washes off easily and will definitely stain your clothes (but it comes out fine in the laundry). I advise not wearing white after applying. While the scent is not overwhelming, it definitely has that familiar tanner smell to it. I think I would keep this around if I needed some quick color, but is not something I would use routinely if I wanted a lasting tan.

Best one

As described. Very pleased. Packaged well. Arrived quite quickly

This is the best most convenient tan in a bottle. The product is extremely quick drying, doesn’t smell like that typical tan smell, immediate colour payoff, and gets darker after a few days. I spray it directly on my skin and then use a tanning mitt to spread the product evenly. My whole body is perfectly tanned in under 5 minutes of application and dry immediately with no transfer. Amazing product!

I have been using self Tanners since 1982. This tanner is amazing! The only one that ACTUALLY smells good, like coconut and chocolate. Deep fast non-streak tan. Not orange, deep bronze and also has an instant tint for easy application and instant gratification. 100% Best Self Tanner I have ever used!

Couleur parfaite et application facile! Seul petit point moin positif, le parfum est intense un légèrement surtout pour un gars.
