I saw this product on a social media platform and decided to take a chance on it and I'm so happy I did! It is the most natural-looking of any tanning product I've tried and I've recommended it to at least 10 friends after receiving a ton of compliments! Application is insanely fast and easy... the mitt helps it go on evenly and I love that you can apply it quickly and go right to bed without needing to shower! Plus the face mist is easy -- I just do a little spritz every day before putting on makeup and it slowly builds in color.Pros:- Its a great value and a great price- goes on evenly- fast application- face mist is easy and never comes out blotchy- you can put makeup on immediately after its dry- you don't have to wash it off your body right away- the color doesn't transfer onto clothes or sheets- it doesn't have an overly fake-tan smellCons:- literally none! I have recommended this to everyone I know!For the price you really can't do any better!

As someone new to self-tanning, the thought of a clear self-tanner was quite scary to me, but after seeing a lot about this product online I decided to give it a shot, and I am glad I did! These are photos of me with the tan and without; The last photo is how I looked when I woke up after having it on for 10 hours.Here are my final thoughts on the product alongside some tips!Non-Transfer Formula (5/5): One of the best qualities of this product is the excellent non-transfer formula, which deserves 5 stars. You can go about the rest of the day without stressing that your new tan will transfer to your clothing, furniture, or anything else you touch. If you're nervous about attracting attention to yourself while you're out and about, this clear gel is the perfect alternative to common tanning mousses with guide colors that might leave you looking like a giraffe.Comfortable Wear (5/5): Another huge plus is the comfort factor. Once this tanning gel dries, you won't feel like you've been ensnared in a sticky web. I've even dared to wear it outdoors without feeling like a bronzed oddball (which can happen with tinted tanning products). Sleeping in it is a breeze too; it won't transfer onto your sheets or clothing, allowing you to leave it on as long as you wish. Plus, it imparts a lovely, natural glow that's sure to turn heads.User-friendly (3/5): I must admit, this one took some time to get the hang of. It's marketed as an easy alternative to mousse, but its transparency makes it a bit trickier.Application Tips:So firstly, buy a tanning mitt, any tanning mitt! This is not a job for bare hands or latex gloves, trust me I have tried!I also apply hydrating moisturizer all over my body before application and wait around 10 minutes for it to soak in. On the areas that are tough, (elbows, knees, and ankles) I use heavier moisture. I personally use "EIGHT HOUR CREAM SKIN PROTECTANT" by Elizebeth Arden, and it has been a game changer. I use makeup brushes on my face, hands, and knees.So when I first started using this I did notice it not going well around my feet/ankles and hands, but that's because of poor application. My advice for those areas is to really really blend it around with a small makeup brush, and smooth it over with a mitt. For my hands, I try very hard to put it on carefully with a makeup brush, and then I use wet wipes on my palm to make sure it doesn't get there. Once I shower if I see some blotches on my hand, I use an exfoliating mitt to take it right off. One other good thing about this product is that it is easy to remove with an exfoliator.Double Glow Trick: If you want more of a guide, I mix L’Oréal Paris Sublime Bronze with this gel, around a ratio of 1:4. It creates such a nice glow together!

So I love this product, the only thing is that it comes off very patchy and doesn’t last long. I love the tan it gives - very glowy. But it lasts about 4 days and then starts to come off patchy. The face mist is amazing - I’ll definitely keep Repurchasing that. The glove it comes with is great too.I do rinse off after letting the tanning gel sit for as long as I can let it (I do it in the morning, and if I’m home or not working out that day, I’ll leave it on until dinner time) and then I’ll shower it off just so the smell is less pungent and it’s less sticky. Although I like the smell and it doesn’t really bother me.

I am not a self tan expert, the only other product I’ve used is a b.tan foam which was fine. I didn’t like sleeping with it in and I couldn’t put it on during the day bc it was a green tint. So I thought this one might be better and it is!I like that it goes on clear and it’s easy to blend in. The scent is ok. I can smell the self tan smell thru the day especially if I’m sweating but it’s not too bad. I have used it twice so far and leave it on thru the day.I’m sharing a pic of where I didn’t blend it well on my hand, it’s not a negative, I’m happy with the color difference! I just need to make sure I blend it well.The pump bottle and gel formula is just much easier for me to apply than the foam.

I have used a few different tanning products. This one is fine. I did not use a lot and I also used the mitt. Overall, it looks pretty natural the following day after you apply it. The day you apply it though, it smells good at first but then where is off quickly. It smells like the normal chemical tanning products. But this one smelled a bit stronger to me. I put it on at 11am after I showered and it dries quickly. It did not get on any clothing but, it took until about 8pm to truly feel "dry" (if you have used tanning products before, you know it takes a while for that moist-ish feeling to go away). The smell was way better when I woke up in the morning and after I showered around 9am the next day, the smell was completely gone.The tan looks pretty normal and I do not have any streaks or splotchy areas. But again, I have used products before so I know to exfoliate before putting it on and I always put lotion all over before I add any tanning products.I am taking points away because I have used products that look just as good but smell way better long-term.I have still not found anything that I like as much as the Jergins lotion but, this does give a darker tan than Jergins
