Ed Hardy BLACK XXX Instant Dark Color Tanning Lotion, 13.5 oz

If you are used to using tanning salon lotions they all do smell a little due to the bronzing additives. BUT please rest assured this does NOT smell bad. It is a great product and does what it claims. It is very brown and probably stains your skin somewhat with the instant bronzers. It really does help your tan last and gives a great brown not orange colour.! AT this price give it a try, it is the BEST on Amazon.

Thought it should be better

I’ve worked in many tanning salons and I’ve used my fair share of cheap all the way to expensive luxury lotions so I like to think I have a good grasp of what works and what doesn’t! This is one of my new favorites from the Ed Hardy collection, although not new to the scene, it’s new to me! Scent: Fresh and airy with notes of clean laundry, grass and a masculine note of cologne, salt and sunscreen. With a small back note of possible coconut. It gives a fresh after odor one reminiscent of laying on the beach with a cocktail in hand. Application and Color: out of the bottle this lotion is dark with no streaks if you’re applying thoughtfully and evenly. The texture is a medium/normal consistency, not runny and not thick. I didn’t have many problems with the application or staining like some reviews state. Just be mindful that it is a bronzer and to wipe your hands off or rub in the residue on your hands like a hand lotion for even color. Skincare: I’m heavily tattooed and would definitely recommend this lotion to anyone who is covered or has a couple they would like to protect. It’s moisturizing without being too greasy to put on your face or behind. This lotion does not dry down sticky, more of a dry down clean formula! Results: I started seeing natural looking color immediately after my first session with no orange cast and intend on using it as my regular for the time being! 10/10 recommend! Happy Tanning!

I’ve been tanning for years and have used many different lotions, but this one is by far one of the best. Goes on clean and smooth, no streaks or orangey tone and smells good too, doesn’t have that nasty after tan baked smell, lol. And my biggest issue with lotions was that it seemed like it took forever for me to get dark but this lotion I noticed a difference in my skin tone right away. Highly recommend this product!!!!

This stuff is awesome! This stuff gives you more color than $150 bronzers. I can’t justify spending that much on lotion anymore. This stuff is IT! It definitely turns your hands brown, so wipe after using and wash hands after tanning. In one session, this lotion brought me at least 3 shades darker. As for the smell: I read a few reviews saying it smelled amazing and others that said it smelled nasty: I am in the camp of loving the fragrance of this, and it did not give me that burnt skin tanning smell afterward. I will continue to buy this one for sure!
