b.tan Clear Self Tanning Gel & Exfoliating Kit | Next Level + Erase Tan Repeat Bundle - 1 Hour Express, Transfer-Resistant Ultra Dark Fake Tanner, 2-in-1 Exfoliator Scrub & Body Wash with Mitt

I love, love, LOVEEE b.tan. I discovered them during lockdown in 2020 when we were all chasing serotonin and a decent glow, and I’ve been loyal ever since. The scent, the color, the fact that I never end up orange or streaky… they’ve earned my trust. So when I saw they had a clear gel formula, curiosity won. Immediately. And yes, it delivered. Packaging (small detail, big win): Before we even get to the tan itself, I need to mention the pump clip. The bottle arrived with a little clip around the pump stem so it couldn’t be pressed during shipping. No leaks. No mystery tan explosions. I’ve kept the clip for travel because it’s genius. More brands need to do this. Gel consistency: This gel is the perfect middle ground. Not thick and sticky, not watery and messy. It spreads easily and evenly, especially with a tanning mitt, which I always recommend no matter the formula. It glides on smoothly and blends without effort. No panic blending, no racing the clock. No-rinse, no transfer: It goes on completely clear, which means no guide color, no stained sheets, and no awkward “don’t touch me” phase. It dries fairly quickly too. I was dry enough in about 10 minutes to throw on loose sweats and go about my evening. Dark, loose clothing is still your friend, but this formula is forgiving. Color & glow: This develops fast. Within 20–30 minutes, I could already see color starting to come through. By about 5–6 hours later, I had a deep, sun-kissed bronze that looked natural and even. No streaks. No orange tones. Just a rich glow that looks like you spent time outside instead of with a mitt in your bathroom. On top of all of this it leaves my skin feeling hydrated like I used a body lotion. Scent: This is one of the reasons I keep coming back to b.tan. There’s no classic self-tanner smell. It actually smells good, fresh and clean, and that stays true even as the tan develops. No “what is that smell?” moments. Product usage & value: What surprised me most is how little product I used compared to foam formulas. A little goes a long way. At $15 for a large bottle, the value is excellent, especially considering how dark and even the results are. Overall, this gel is everything I want in a self-tanner: easy, clear, fast-developing, great-smelling, and deeply bronzing without drama. Five stars, zero hesitation, and officially my new go-to in the b.tan lineup.

Read reviews about many different self tanners and this one seemed to have the best reviews as well as one of the purchased most often. As like many reviews suggested, exfoliating beforehand is important. I bought some exfoliating gloves from EcoTools, which made my skin so soft, I’m already very soft and use quality body cream daily but the exfoliating was nice regardless and I’ll continue to do so. Use a good lotion after the shower/bath and exfoliating, especially if you have dry areas like knees, elbows and heels. I don’t have those issues but I can see why it’d make a difference. Then use gloves, I didn’t even buy the mitt, just used new rubber kitchen dish gloves I had forgotten about. They worked perfectly and also so my hubs could help with the areas I couldn’t reach. Spread evenly and allow to dry. I’m on my second day and I’ve already developed a nice natural color to my skin. Winter causes me to become so pale and I’m going to a nice tropical vacay soon and do not want to be super pale upon arrival, I’m preparing so I can also use a nice bronze body shimmer once I develop a real tan, which I’m prepared with sunscreen with glow as well. Highly highly recommend this product! I’ll be purchasing again and have no complaints at all! No problems with an orangey tint like some self tanners. It literally looks like my skin does after a couple days on the summer pool time. I love it! Oh, and I’m on my second day, showered (did not exfoliate) like normal and did everything else like first day. It didn’t really wash off but slightly lightened when I showered and used my regular loofah. To be expected. Didn’t lighten to the point where the first application was a waste. I still retained most of the color, I knew it was going to take a few days to build the tan level I desire. But this! It’s a big bottle and goes a long way! Just make sure to wear gloves of some type and you’ll need help spreading to the back area you can’t reach unless you can figure out a clever workaround! The pictures are me on vacation in Mexico late Jan this year, coming straight from a cold and winters climate. I don’t believe in laying out and developing a natural tan anymore, mainly due to aging, skin damage, all the obvious negative effects of direct sun exposure and I have little patience as it is. I prepped and built this color a few days prior to leaving and was so overjoyed with the natural results!

I really like this self-tanning gel! The color develops quickly and looks very natural on my skin, not orange at all. The mitt makes it easy to apply evenly, and I love that it works on both face and body. It also dries fast, so I don’t feel sticky after using it. The best part is that it doesn’t transfer to my clothes or sheets, which was always a problem with other tanning products I tried before. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I noticed a little bit of patchiness on my knees and elbows the first time. After exfoliating better before the second application, it looked much smoother, so I think that was on me. Overall, it’s a really good product if you want a deep, natural tan without the strong smell that most self-tanners have.

Have used this product 2 times since I received it & really like it. Goes on easy & does not streak. Does not smell bad & dries fairly quick on skin

Impeccable merci

Muy bueno lo único que luego se queda un poco pegajoso al dártelo pero por lo demás muy bien y bien uniforme

Molto buono e veloce da usare, lo uso sopra al St tropez dopo un giorno dall’applicazione e questo qui lo scurisce ancora di piu. Buonissimo

New to self tanners. I wanted a safer, kinder to skin option, that didn't stain. This ticked all the boxes. Being naturally pale, I just wanted an improvement to my confidence. And an easy glow. Something that is more natural looking. The "Darkest" is perfect to achieve this. Despite having no guide color, I've found this product incredibly easy to use. I'd definitely recommend a tanning glove, back tanner applicator, and a tanning brush for face, hands and feet, for the most natural finish. Give the product at least six hours to develop before showing, etc. The skin is left feeling hydrated, and refreshed. Around the three hour mark, the color starts to develop. Limited "Tanning smell" during processing, nose close to detect the faintest smell. Otherwise, it's a pleasant fragrance. The color fades pretty evenly. If you shower every day, it's a twice weekly application. And it's easy to get used to applying. I definitely recommend. I am always very pleased with the results.

ماعجبني كثير صح أعطاني لون بس حسيت اورنج وريحته حنه مايبقع الملابس
