1. I was not able to readily find Banana Boat Self Tanner in stores so thought to order from Amazon. I picked a winner at half the price at stores, got here in a timely manner and works just as well. Got 6 tubes so that should do me for a very long while. I only use once a week.

2. wow, i was skeptical of self tanners. theyre always orange. i am very white. i mean, so pale i only burn. when the package arrived i showered with an exfoliating wash. after drying off i rubbed mosturizing lotion on my knees, elbows, feet and ankles esp around the ankle bone, wrists, hairline and the creases of my nose (these are places ive noticed the color gets a tad darker in and looks ‘dirty’.) putting lotion on first makes a lil less of the color absorb. i had my fiance rub in my back, u need someone to help if u dont want to mess up. we used latex gloves i found in the cleaning area in stop and shop. much easier then washing ur hands every few minutes to avoid crazy colored hands. i did one area at a time until it was all rubbed in very well. at my ankles i rub onto the tops of my feet and faded it out. at the end i put a dab on the tops of my hands and rubbed together. a little goes a LONG way so this stuff will last! after i was done, i took a washcloth with hot water and wiped around my hairline LIGHTLY and around my feet and hands where the color ended to try to help fade so i had no harsh lines. i stood up for like 15 minutes with the fan on just to be safe. and slept on a towel. i woke up in the morning thinking wow great, after i showered, i thought it was not tan enough, but i put on lotion all over to help my tan last as long as it can. then i walked by my full length mirror…WOW! i had a GREAT medium tan color. my lighting is low in the bathroom. after coming home tonight and looking in my mirrow i cant believe this came from a bottle any darker would be too much for me, its perfect. and if u are olived toned u can build up even darker with another coat a day after the first. i washed my hands and feet again when i came home and it faded it a Slight bit more and looks even better. i went to a store i frequent a lot and the guy asked me ‘where did u go off too, ur all nice and tan” i told him it was from a bottle and he actually said, “no way?! it looks so natural” that made it official. this is my new life in a bottle. my fiance thinks it looks great and he was skeptical. its a nice brownish color, very natural. i got the 3 pack and i cant wait to get more for the winter( this will last a while tho!) i didnt have to wear cover up or anything to keep my face from looking washed out. i love it. i saw 1 or 2 reviews that said it was orange or too much, but i think those ppl probalby were just so pale they were not used to seeing themselves tan so it looked wierd to them. im not used to being tan but i keep looking at myself and i cant believe how natural it looks. DEF try this one. its the only kind ive ever found to look natural. DONT get the medium/fair one. i think this looks so natural because its the deep dark tone.

4. I have been on the hunt for the ultimate self-tanner for years. Recently, I have tried out a slew of products, including the pricey, messy and disappointing St. Tropez, Moroccan Mineral Extended Vacation, and countless others. I ordered this, very skeptical despite the glowing reviews. This product out-performs many of the 30-40 $ products, some of them by a long-shot! It was a relief to have the following in ONE affordable product:

   *Easy application with color guide- but no gloves needed! (Just be sure to wash the hands a couple times during application)

   *Moisturizes yets sets in skin quicky- no staining sheets and clothing (FINALLY!!!)

   *Virtually streak free

   *Realistic, dark color- I reached a deep, dark tan after five consecutive days of single applications, and will maintain it as recommended (1x-2x applications weekly)

   *Color develops in only 2-3 hours, therefore can be applied several times in a day if a dark tan is needed quickly

   CONS:

   *A little rich for facial use, and even with repeated

   applications never developed much of a tan on my face

   *I have had a bit of a tough time making the tan on my feet look natural, compared to other lotions I have tried (I usually apply moisturizer to the tops of my feet before application, then buff my ankles and toes with an old towel to avoid dark spots)

   All in all, though, this product is a new favorite- I also love Body Drench Quick Tan, but have found that the two work perfectly together- I just apply the spray tan occasionally to where the body naturally gets more sun (face, shoulders, chest, upper back), which creates a beautful and very realistic tan- one caveat of a lotion, is that it does not enable the “sun-kissed” effect of the spray which can be used to add a bit richer of a tan to those areas.

   Bottom line: AWESOME product!

5. Love Banana Boat Products. This tanner looks natural and does not rub off. Their sunscreens are great too! It feels good to have a safe tan for the summer!
