Self Tanner with Tanning Mitt - USA Made Sunless Self Tanning Lotion with Organic Ingredients

This was my first time using a self tanner and it worked very well for me. It had a pleasant smell to it during the application process (unlike the typical spray tan smell). This tanning lotion gave me a nice and natural tan with the first coat but, because I was using it for a dance competition, I applied a second coat to make it a bit darker. The color takes about 6-8 hours to fully develop so I put it on after my night-time shower and let it do its magic while I slept. It didn't stain any clothes or sheets. I received several compliments on how natural my tan looked. I found it relatively easy to apply to my skin with the mitt. I only used the smaller mitt on my face as I could easily use the bigger one for the rest of my body. The color of the lotion is white and it doesn't have a guide color so you need to make sure that you rub it in thoroughly and evenly. I recommend testing it out on a body part/area that you can easily cover to get practice in before applying to your entire body. Don't forget to shave your skin at least one or more hours prior to applying the tanner so that it doesn't collect in your pores/irritate your skin and remember to exfoliate your whole body just prior to applying the tanner. Hands and feet are tricky because the skin is dryer than the rest of the body so they can absorb more of the tanner and get darker than you want, especially around your knuckles. I put a thick layer of lotion on my fingers, elbows, knees, ankles, and toes to prevent overly dark/dirty looking skin and that worked well for me. I also used a make-up remover wipe on the palms of my hands, over my finger and toe nails, and over my knuckles after I applied the tanner so that those areas wouldn't get too dark. I used the tanner on my face and it did not cause me to break out at all (I have combination/oily skin). I was a bit worried that it would fade horribly on my face as the skin under my eyes can get really dry and the spray tans I have gotten in the past have faded poorly in this area. However, it faded seamlessly across my entire body and I was rather pleased. The tan lasted me about 7 days (after I applied the second coat of tanner) before I exfoliated it all off. My face did fade faster (only lasted about 4-5 days because I had to wear full face make-up every day for the competition so it got scrubbed more thoroughly than the rest of my body) but I was easily able to hide the color difference with make-up.

This USA-made self tanning lotion has completely changed my approach to achieving a healthy glow without sun exposure. The organic ingredient formula delivers the most natural-looking tan I've experienced from any sunless tanner, developing into a beautiful golden color that looks genuinely sun-kissed rather than artificial or orange-tinted. What impressed me most is how forgiving this formula is during application. The included tanning mitt makes even distribution effortless, and the lotion blends smoothly without creating streaks or patches. The development time is gradual and predictable, allowing me to build up color slowly to achieve exactly the shade I want without overdoing it. The organic ingredients make a noticeable difference in both skin comfort and results quality. Unlike chemical-heavy tanners that can be drying or irritating, this formula actually leaves my skin feeling moisturized and healthy. There's no harsh chemical smell - just a light, pleasant scent that doesn't linger or become overwhelming. The mitt included is high-quality and washable, creating smooth, professional-looking application every time. The barrier it provides prevents stained palms and ensures even coverage across all areas. The combination of quality tanner and proper application tool delivers salon-quality results at home. The color develops beautifully over 4-6 hours and lasts about a week with gradual, natural fading rather than patchy wear-off. The USA manufacturing and organic certification give me confidence in the ingredient quality and safety standards. Highly recommend for anyone seeking natural-looking self tanning results - this delivers premium quality with organic ingredients and foolproof application for beautiful, healthy-looking color.

So far, so good. I received my Beauty By Earth Self Tanning Bundle quickly using Amazon Prime. The bundle came with self-tanner lotion, body applicator mitt, face applicator mitt and the exfoliating mitt which are without a doubt definitely worth it to have when using a self-tanner. I have only once ever used a self-tanner and the whole orange look didn't work for me so until I came across Beauty By Earth self-tanner, I would never even think to use one again. But seeing as I live up in the frigid North and was sick of seeing my pasty white skin I decided to try out this stuff. With ingredients you can pronounce, that's always a bonus. I tried just my legs first before I went to bed figuring this way if I didn't like the results no one would notice and I could send it back. So I prepared my legs and feet (they save shaving right before application can leave orange dots so I refrained from shaving my legs that night) with the exfoliating mitt. Once I was out of the shower and dried off I applied a small amount of body lotion to my knees and feet, let that soak in then proceeded to apply a small amount of the self-tanner to the body applicator mitt and rubbed into my legs in a circular motion (as suggested). I did it a few times making sure my whole leg was covered. I went over my feet and knees last just using the lotion residue left on the applicator mitt. The lotion has a very light scent when applying. I hardly noticed it. It is a light/medium weight white lotion - goes on clear. Fast forward to the morning. Legs looked to be like I got a touch of colour but I couldn't really tell if they were orange or not. I didn't think so. Unfortunately I did not take a picture before I started for comparison. A few parts of my feet and my ankles were a bit darker but I blame that on my lack of application knowledge skills. Since my legs turned out okay, I applied the lotion to my stomach and back the next morning. This time, I did notice a bit of a 'self tanning' smell which I am not too fond of but it isnt too bad. And if I can get a 'tan' then its worth it. That evening my stomach colour matched my legs, with just a touch of colour. The day after that, I prepared my legs (no shaving, exfoliate, cream on feet/knees etc.) and applied another coat on both my legs and stomach. I did my feet and knees but only using the remaining residue that was on the mitt and made sure to rub it in well. I also used a makeup wipe and 'rubbed' down my ankle and a bit over my feet and knees so they didn't get dark. I also bit the bullet and did the rest of my body including my face. The 2nd application on my stomach and legs did seem to give me more of darker sun-kissed, golden colour. So far no blotchy or streaky application. I ensured my lotion was applied everywhere and I used both sides of the application mitt (one side for the lotion and then went over every spot with the other side of it just to be sure). Fast forward a few days. A third coat was applied to my legs and stomach and a 2nd coat to arms, chest and face. I am impressed with the results. Seems that for my skin, the colour builds on itself (for me its 3 or 4 applications - any more than 4 spread out over 2 days may be too 'fake' looking) and I have a nice sun-touched glow. Nothing dark, nothing orange. I don't look like I have been down South for a tropical sun vacation but I am no longer pasty winter white. I think this Beauty by Earth lotion will be fantastic to use before a vacation. Will give you just enough colour to not to look like Casper the ghost until I can get real a real suntan. Plus, much safer for your skin so there is a huge plus. I will recommend it and probably look at other Beauty by Earth products as well.

Let me start by saying that this self tanner cream is a game-changer! What truly sets this self tanner apart is the natural-looking tan I got with it. With this cream, the result was a beautifully sun-kissed glow that looks like I’ve spent a week on a tropical beach (no orange tones!). And the best part? When I want a deeper tan, I can easily reapply it. I truly appreciate the fact that I can see the list of ingredients and actually pronounce and understand what's in it. All natural ingredients, that leave my skin not just tanned but also super soft and hydrated. If you're in search of a self tanner that will leave you looking like a bronzed goddess without any of the typical drawbacks, this is the product for you. It has an amazing shea butter fragrance, heavenly texture, gives a natural-looking tan, and has an affordable price, it ticks all the boxes for the perfect self tanner! I’ve been using it for some months now and I’m never going back to my pale skin 😂 I shared it with some friends, and they also loved it!

Overall a great product. Here are the good sides of it: -Great smell! The smell is strong and smells like coconut (I loved the smell...smells like a sunscreen smell) and doesn't have that bad smell the day after the color sticks to your skin. -The cream is transparent when you put it on your skin. I've had a few other tanning lotions which were leaving my skin looking like I had been in the mud....only after I took a shower the next day would I be able to look normal. Not this one...you can apply it on yourself and no one can see that you have applied a tanning lotion on..until the next day when you wake up and you are tanned. -I like the color it looks very natural! The less good sides are these: -I am very pale and bought the darker version. I think the color is very subtle on my skin...I don't look really tanned. However I find the color very natural looking so I will still purchase this in the futur. But if you are looking to look really tanned I don't suggest to buy this lotion....or perhaps I didn't put enough cream on myself who knows. -Next time I will not purchase the gloves that come with this. The gloves help put the cream more evenly on your skin and in that, these gloves do a great job! However, these gloves are not impermeable inside and so my fingers keep getting orange!

I’ve been using this for about a month now and I love it! I’ve never used self tanner before, but I have had spray tans. In my opinion this stuff fades better than spray tans. Possibly because it’s not as dark in the first go, but you can build the colour, which is great. My first time using it, I found it easy to apply. I did it before bed like most people mentioned. I followed the instructions and I watched a few videos online. I prepped my skin with the exfoliating mitt first, then I had a bath with a little bit of baby oil to moisturize my skin. After I got out and towel dried I added some cream to my ankles, knees, elbows and hands. Then I applied the cream using the mitt and rubbed in circular motions. It’s tricky because it goes on kind of clear, so you can’t tell exactly where you’re spreading it. I didn’t put any thick lotion directly on my feet, ankles, knees or hand, but instead I used what was left on the mitt to rub on those spots afterwards. This ensured I wouldn’t get any orange staining. I wore dark loose clothing and went to bed. I have white sheets and it didn’t even end up on my sheets! I was expecting a darker result, but I have olive toned skin, which might be why I didn’t turn out as dark as I thought I was going to. I ended up reapplying the following two days and the colour started to build. It wasn’t orange and ended up looking like a decent tan. I’ve been keeping my skin hydrated with lotion in between applications and applying every 1-2 days. I’ve worn a white t-shirt after applying the tanning lotion a few times and a little bit shows up in the seams of the shirt, but I’m able to wash it out. I also don’t apply it to my face. I did it the first time and I broke out bad! I have sensitive skin to begin with, so I should’ve known better. As for my back, I get my husband to apply it. :-)

It didn’t work for my skin. I am almost done the product and gave it a few tries but I will be trying the mousse next and hopefully it will be better for my skin with one application. The self tanning lotion didn’t really darken my skin with one application and I ordered the darkest one. Hoping I will have better luck with the self tanning mousse!
