B.Tan Glow Your Own Way Clear Self Tan Gel For Women 16 oz Gel

Product Information

This clear, dark self-tan gel is for babes who wanna glow their own way. Enriched with skincare faves hyaluronic acid + vitamin c, this self-tan gel is a skincare + tan combo made in heaven for hydrated, juicy, bronzed skin. I love that this gel comes in a bottle with a pump versus a squeeze tube; I just prefer using a pump to wrangling the last bits of lotion out of a tube when it’s running low. I like that the bottle is clear so I can see how much product I have left, and 16 ounces is a lot of product for the price. I’ve had my bottle for two summers now. Ingredients: Water (Aqua, Eau), Dihydroxyacetone, Polysorbate 20, Phenoxyethanol, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Sodium Hyaluronate, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Fruit, Saccharum Officinarum (Sugar Cane) Stem Extract, Glycerin, PVM/MA Decadiene Crosspolymer, Fragrance (Parfum), Sodium Hydroxide, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Panthenol, Caprylic/ Capric Triglyceride You can apply it and go about your day — no worrying about your color guard getting everywhere or showering the tanner off by a certain time. Colors: B.tan’s shades go, lightest to deepest, as follows: dark, darker, darkest, insanely dark, and darkest possible. It’s confusing, I agree. All of these shades are available in mousse form. In the gel, you can choose between darkest (my fave) and insanely dark.

The company also takes inspiration from “ everyday humans”which is evident in their influencer marketing strategies. Additionally, they are driven by “ self expression, creativity and experimentation.” Simple and straightforward, the collection is geared towards first-time users.

It takes about eight hours to develop, so you do still have to plan ahead if you want to be tan for a certain event. There are other products that bronze instantly, like the Jergens No Wait Tropical Tan mousse, which I use occasionally when I’m short on time. Apply lotion all over. Most self-tan how-tos will tell you to apply lotion to dry areas on your body, like ankles, knees, and elbows, but I go for a thin layer of moisturizer all over.

Directions for use: Make sure your skin is clean and dry. pump it and rub all over. wash your hands after use. your skin will feel hydrated, silky smooth, bronzed + glowy. One downside: the pump gives you a good-sized dollop of self-tanner, and it can be hard to dole out less if you only need a small amount. Not a big deal to me, but something to keep in mind. The scent If you try to layer the product up for a darker color, it doesn’t really do much. I’m guessing this is by design, so that if you overlap here and there while applying it (since it’s clear), you won’t have obvious patches. One thing that helps me not get whiffs of the self-tanner smell all day, regardless of what product I use, is not applying it close to my underarms. I don’t remember where I read it, and I don’t know why it works, but it really does help. The ingredients Another happy tanner writes, “ This is the best smelling tanning oil I’ve ever owned. It also absorbed so well! It just left my skin soft without being greasy AT ALL! I’ll say I should have used an SPF with it. I burnt within just a little while, but then it turned dark rather than peeling. I will definitely be purchasing this again in the future.”Wash your hands thoroughly. If you’re going to go mitt-less, you’ll want to suds up your hands right after you finish tanning, since your palms don’t naturally tan and having them match the rest of your skin just doesn’t look quite right. I keep a cheap toothbrush around to scrub around my nails and cuticles so that the product doesn’t cling to those areas either. It’s also popular on Influenster, where one reviewer shares, “ I am an active self-tan user, and this is one of my favorite self-tanners ever, especially for the price. The color is olive, so you don’t get an orangey tan but a natural, glowing-looking tan.” Shower, exfoliate, and shave. I like to dry brush before I hop in the shower and use a sugar scrub in the shower because I’m a more-is-more type of gal, but I’m sure one method is plenty. Then shave where you like. You can sleep in B. Tan. Customers state that it does get on your clothes or sheets but washes off easily. So, you can wake up to a summer glow with minimal issues. Can I use B. Tan on my face? Self-tan from the bottom up. Pump the gel into your hands and rub it into your legs. I start on my calf or thigh and, when I have a little less product on my hands, blend it over areas like my knees and ankles. You could use a tanning mitt, but I find the Glow Your Own Way gel streaks less when I use my hands. Rub it in until it’s fully absorbed, then move on to the next area of your body until you’re done.
