Body Drench QuickTan Bronzing Spray Instant Self Tanner, Medium/Dark, 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)

If you love this product, one with much less hassle is Body Drench - same company - Whipped Chocolate Self-Tanning Mousse (a foam). It's available on Amazon. It is foolproof, and doesn't create a mess or get into your lungs like the spray. All Body Drench products are a beautiful color -- a tint of brown and red (giving you a sun-kissed look) and never orange. I'm very pale, so I need a natural look. IMPORTANT: For both products, the key is to get Powder-Free Latex Gloves (through Amazon), which allows the product to blend soooo well. As you're rubbing in, any excess product sticks to the gloves -- then all you have to do is swipe your hand up and down on your arm or leg to get it off and it will blend in perfectly. When spraying only, I used to get little tiny dots all over (after all, it is coming out of a spray can). Trust me, if you're having any trouble with self-tanners, it's because you're not using powder-free latex gloves. The Body Drench mousse smells like cookies, which I prefer to chemicals or perfume (like most tanners). I put the foam on at night before bed, sleep with it for 6-8 hours, then shower in the morning. If you apply it in the morning, it will streak or come off on your clothes. Also if you shower within 2-3 hours of applying, it will come right off. You need it to set for 6-8 hrs overnight without sweating or showering, then you must shower in the morning to get off that first layer, leaving just the tan behind. Note: When you first put on the foam, IT WILL BE LIGHT. That's OK; it'll take 1 hour to start turning darker, and the longer you leave it on (overnight), the better it will last. You can apply 1-2 layers at once, but since it gets darker, don't go overboard. If you wake up with streaks don't worry -- they will wash right off in the shower, leaving you with a very even tan. The foam is the only truly fool-proof tanner out there. I prefer the Body Drench Mousse (foam) to the spray because: 1) The spray gets everywhere - even if you spray in the shower, it will circulate in the air and turn everything red. I was also breathing it in, and my lungs were not happy about it! 2) You have to be very careful with the spray; any streaks you create won't fade off in the shower. 3) You can't "build" a tan with the spray - do it one night after the other - or it gets streaky and uneven. The foam is amazing; I can put it on one night after the other and once I shower the next morning, all streaks disappear. With the spray, I had to do one very careful spray, then wait a few days, exfoliate completely before spraying again. This was time-consuming. The foam takes MUCH less time, because it barely streaks and doesn't get all over the place. 4) The spray, after a few days, turns scaly and flakes off. The foam fades VERY evenly. The spray is a bit darker than the foam. But the darker the tan, the more it has to be perfect; any slight mistake with the spray is OBVIOUS. The foam is still dark enough to be great but makes tanning a quick, easy process. I no longer spend hours per week (which I used to with the spray) showering, exfoliating, drying off, preparing towels to catch the excess spray, spraying in the tub, standing by a fan, etc. The foam takes 5 minutes - I just slap on a layer every 2 or 3 nights. The Body Drench Foam also trumps lotions, such as Jergens or L'Oreal, which require you to apply daily, making it thick and uneven. Lotions are heavy and come RIGHT off in the pool. Body Drench spray and foam are very light. You're meant to sleep in it, and when you shower the next morning, the product comes off but the tan color stays on - which means your skin can breathe in summer versus having a thick layer of lotion on. Also, the foam and spray work wonderfully on your hands and feet (with the latex gloves!) whereas the lotions don't. I've been out of tanning beds for 4 years now and have used self-tanners the entire time since. I strongly believe that finding the right self-tanner makes all the difference!

This is by far and away my favorite self tanner. It has zero smell, dries quickly, instant bronze, not orange at all. If I had any criticism it would be it doesn't last very long. That said because it's so easy, affordable and has no smell I basically reapply daily.

Update 4-18-2014: The color faded completely after 7 days. I could tell by the fake tan line I created using a speedo. I recommend applying every 4 to 5 days in order to maintain the color. bottom line - great instant spray tan at home that you can do even on your back without help. natural color, highly recommended Color : a natural medium tan color. Not orange. Looks natural to me and my friends Smell: This has a very pleasant smell, strong and a little bit perfume like, but pleasant. It is not at all like the strong chemical smell that I typically associate with self tanners. Application: You must apply this in an area that you can blast clean with water or that you are not worried about staining. The spray mist will settle on everything by the time you are done with your whole body. Do it in the shower our outside on the lawn or patio. Dry Time: Fast! I would say I was dry 5 minutes after putting it on. It will still rub off on light colored clothing though until your first shower. The Clean Up: In my shower, the spray settles everywhere and the white shower was golden tan as well. I used the shower wand to wash down the entire inside of the shower and the color just washed down the drain no scrubbing. Fantastic!! How much? I am 6' tall 170lbs. I was able to do two full body applications using one and a quarter cans, so my estimate is that two cans will give you three full body applications. I tend to have a heavy trigger finger so if you are smaller than me and more reserved you can go further with it I am sure. My Story: I am naturally pretty pale and it takes me several days covered in SPF 30 and up to get a good base each summer. I am a typical Euro/American Mutt. A Little Irish, a little English, some Polish, and Spanish mixed in as well. Dark Hair, pale skin, and no free time to tan. I was doing a weekend at a beach house with friends and decided to give this a try. I have been recommending it to everyone I talk to since the first application. I stood inside my shower and closed it up. I have a window in my shower and this game me the ventilation I needed to breathe since the spray fills the air. I wore a black Speedo to give myself a tan line effect and it worked just as planned. Make sure to scrub the bottoms of your feet after words because you will be stepping abound in it and stain the bottom of your feet. If you leave it on too long the bottoms of your feet will be the tannest part of your body. I put Vaseline on my toes so that the spray didn't darken the cuticles, nails, and knuckles and I also used a typical latex glove to keep my hands safe from the spray. The tan is instant and you don't need to rub it in, but I did anyway. I was able to get every part front and back without help. I then scrubbed the heck out of the soles of my feet. It dried super fast and then I went to bed. The next morning I took a shower and saw the water had a pale brown tint for the first minute. But my tan held fast and looked fantastic. I didn't need to but I decided to do a second coat that night and darken it up. It got a few shades darker and still looked natural. One important trick is to not spray into the areas that don't get dark anyways, like up in the armpits and the underside of the forearm. Keep the applications to these areas very light if at all and it will look more natural. Also it is a good idea to wipe the tanner off of the knee caps and elbows so they don't get too dark either. Dark and even everywhere is always a tell tale sigh of a fake tan. Also on the second application I did not apply to the face and neck areas, most people don't need to tan those areas because they get enough sun. Making your face and neck too dark can really ruin a self tanning experience, and your vacation photos Also, very important to remember to use sunscreen still to prevent sun damage. Self tanners do not increase your skin's natural ability to defend against UV rays. I recommend this one CeraVe SPF 50 Sunscreen Spray, 5 Ounce read my review and see why Read my revi

I’ve been using this for almost 3 months and I’ve got some pros and some cons as someone who has been sunless tanning with every product under the sun for years. Firstly, it’s beautiful when first spray on. It mimics a beautiful real tan from the sun with silt hints of red, like a very light blush. But that’s where the pros end.😅 it doesn’t matter how long it’s been sitting, if you cry or anything there will be tear stains on your cheeks. It comes off super easy. And no matter how long it sits when you wash it off, it doesn’t leave tan behind. This is truly a temporary tan that sits on the skin, so don’t expect anything more. It’s perfect for when you forgot to tan and are about to walk out the door. It’s immediately an instant tan at first application. The only REAL downside is that it 100% causes acne if you ever have any at all. I rarely get a pimple but when I use this stuff (especially if I use it a couple days in a row) I’ll wake up a day or two later with pimples all over my face. Super aggravating. I wish the company could make a few changes to the formulation and I would 100% buy this constantly. It’s so close to being really awesome.

This was my tried-and-true, holy grail product that I have been loyal to for more than four years. However, in the last two months, Body Drench has completely reformulated this product, changed production from the USA to China, and ruined it. Do not waste your money on this new version. The new spray nozzle clogs and does not provide the fine, even mist the original was famous for. This is directly linked to the ingredient change: The original formula contained Ethoxydiglycol, PEG-60 Almond Glycerides. These are crucial. Ethoxydiglycol helps the tanner penetrate the skin evenly, resulting in a deeper, more even tan. PEG-60 Almond Glycerides act as an emulsifier/texture enhancer. Removing them contributed to the poor performance and streaking. The DHA now sits on the surface differently. Without those specialized solvents, the product likely feels stickier, takes longer to dry, and is more prone to running or concentrating unevenly, leading to streaks and that awful new nozzle performance. The most compelling evidence of a quality change is the position of Dihydroxyacetone (DHA). In cosmetics, ingredients are listed in descending order of concentration. In the original, DHA is the 4th ingredient. In the new formula, DHA is the 2nd to last ingredient. The result? The new tan will be significantly lighter because the main tanning agent is present in a much lower concentration, likely a cost-cutting measure along with the move to China production. This means you have to spray much more to get any color, which then contributes to uneven application from the poor formula. This product was ruined because they reduced the concentration of the main tanning ingredient (DHA) to save money, they replaced high-performance, skin-penetrating solvents with cheaper, standard humectants/preservatives, destroying the signature fine-mist, non-streaking application, and the new ingredient base and change in factory location ruined the delicate chemistry that produced that glowy, bronzy, "pinky hue." Body Drench chose cost savings (moving production to China and using fewer active/expensive ingredients) over product quality, and it has backfired completely. This is no longer the product you loved.

This is the BEST self tanner on the market. Its great over a tan as you start to fade your natural tan AND its excellent on pure virgin fair skin that hasnt seen sun in months or years. The key to a great looking tan is in the application. The tan will last about 4-7 days. And once you have it going you can quickly respray every few days to keep it fresh. When you spray hold the can far enough away so that it doesnt apply the product too wet.. You dont want it to be streaky but ratner "mist" on your skin. I apply it and let it dry for 10 minutes then go back for a second coat being careful to watch how my skin feels.. If it feels too wet or tacky, the product is being applied too heavy. You dont want tanner running down your neck because you are too excited about how great you will look if you get REALLY tan today! Go slow..and yo will lobpve it. For me a 2 day spray process is best and i always apply at night then sleep in black clothes. This stuff DOES get all over sheets and bedding BUT will completely wash out.. Buy dark sheets if it bothers you. Its goes on with a bronzer so you can see where its being applied then the color intensifies overnight. Shower lightly the next morning to rinse or you will smell like the tanner as your body heats up during the day. Be careful not to over apply on your neck..again to the point where it feels tacky or too wet or it can streak,,,also keep it off your hands and wash reallllllly well... But LIGHTLY mist your hands up to your knuckles realy fast at the end to give a little color to your hands,,, this product is excellent color wise giving a bronze warm glowing tan.. It is not bright orange and the mist spray application in the spray bottles is great just give a good 2 days to apply so that you get buildable even coverage... I like to do my face, chest and arms,, and my lower legs during fall or winter when i might not be in summer clothing or on the beach... Because i really dont care if i havewhite thighs or a white tummy under my clothes.. The first time i used it i over sprayed and did t let it dry before i sprayed some more.. Wanting to get really tan but then realized its better to hold the can far away and do a couple of coats day ne.. Sleep.. Wash off... Then do it again the next night so that in 2 days you have the even bronze color you want. Believe me, even after the first day people will notice you have color..but hy day 2 you will look like you were on vacation for a week. Dont forget the back of your arms.. Hold the bottle far away or have someone do it for you.. Just dont overspray (did i say not to overspray??) then wipe your elbows off.. And always wash your hands after! .. One last thing... If the nozzle is getting product on it or excess tanner is pooling around the front of the area where it comes out, Wipe it clean and dont spray your body because it will splatter..this would be a sign that you have been holding the can too close and the product is not reachng your body but rather going back to the can.. Ok, one LAST thing.. Your eyebrows. Spray your face ( do not blot at all) but blot your eyebrows or hairline off afterwards with a towel..softly. Good luck!

Had I never tried other tanning products, I'd probably rate this a four or five because it does impart a nice glow to skin. However, for a "Medium/Dark" tanning product, I'd say it should be labeled as "Medium" at best. For people with very pale skin, this product would probably work well as it doesn't make your skin dark, and therefore you wouldn't have to worry about streaks. The spray is a little tough to get a hang of. Too close and you're really just making streaks on your skin that you have to blend out, and that drip. Too far and the product just fills the air and barely does anything to your skin. I resorted to using it close and then blending with a mit. The tan that I got out of this was, for lack of a better word, translucent. In a dim room, I looked tan. In natural light, you could tell I had put a tanning spray over light skin. I'm an experienced tanner and sunless tanner. I exfoliate, use a mit, and can usually achieve a very even tan with any product. The results of this product were darker than Fake Bake, but I'd still use Fake Bake over this because it is easier, dries faster, and is much more even. My new favorite for a truly dark tan is St Moriz mousse in dark. Nothing beats it. Suggestions for use- the first time I used this, I used one spray down each limb. It wasn't dark at all. The second time, I sprayed up close and covered my limbs. It was a little darker, but once I showered, most of the tan was gone and it was still not a solid looking tan in natural light. If you're using this, use a lot! Overall- I won't throw this out. Maybe I'll use it as a backup. It would work to use if you're very pale and want to go out in a bathing suit, perhaps to darken your tan, but don't want to go out looking pale.

Love this brand, it does seem a bit darker this year, but it sprays on nicely and if you wait the 2+ hrs, the longer the better you will have a really nice natural color. I am very fair and it works great!. Spray at least 6” or further away. Move continuously and in a slow rhythm. Just don’t forget to wash off before dressing/sleeping. It has a tinted coat that comes off with a wipe. I also place lotion on the bottom of my feet and palms before spraying and I cover my space with 2 bed sheet, and tissue up my nose :) It is a spray after all.

Great instant tan which leaves a nice glow on the skin, great colour pay off yet buildable. Would definitely recommend!
