Tanologist Firming Daily Glow Body Lotion Medium to Dark, Lightweight Moisturizer with Caffeine, Squalane & Grapeseed Oil, Smooths, Tones & Builds Natural Sun-Kissed Gradual Tan, 250ml

Lovely self tan. It’s my new favourite and looks natural. Dries well too

One of my absolute favourite tanning lotions. Nice depth of colour after just one use and it smells incredible. Super hydrating and maintains an even tan.

Watery, patchy usually buy bondi sands it was unavailable so now im stuck with anonther full bottle.

Goes on well but moisturize first great clout and lasts a couple of days

Love this brand , no smell horrible just fab

One of the best gradual tans I have used! Really good deep colour, I used the medium to dark. Smells lovely and absorbs really quickly with no transfer on to sheets!

Best fake tan I've used.

It does not work

I used this a couple of times and then stopped because it did turn my hands a little orange. I already had a pretty significant tan from being a tanning bed user so I didn’t notice a huge difference after only a few uses. Couple of months later I wanted to give it another try and just committed to washing my hands after use. I will use this lotion for as long as they make it! The first thing I noticed was how quickly I got nice even color on my legs. I stopped tanning about six weeks ago and was pretty fair. Within three days of using I had a perfect tan that looks even and natural. I am only using it on my legs and I see very little to no difference between the natural tan I have on my upper body and the tan that I get from this lotion. But the tan is just the beginning of the benefits! I recently lost about 20 pounds. It left my legs with a but of loose skin. Not only does this lotion improve the texture and feel of my legs, but it is extremely hydrating, and it has improved the elasticity and overall appearance! I never want to be without this lotion!

This is my favorite budget-friendly self tanner. I’ve used it twice now and am very pleased. I used to use a foam that you subscribed to but it is $50/bottle and in this economy? Not a cute option. This lotion came out streak-free and left my skin soooooo soft. It’s a gentle, glowy tan. I’ll be honest it doesn’t get me as brown as the expensive tanner I used, but I certainly don’t feel I look orange. A very nice glow. (I am also a very light skinned Caucasian woman so I assume if you have more melanin in your skin it would look browner on you) HOW TO APPLY FOR GREAT RESULTS: 1) Shower first. Bottle says exfoliate the day before. I don’t stress about this. 2) Apply a different lotion to knees, elbows, neck, and ankles/feet/toes 3) Using a TANNING MITT, apply to body. Do not specifically put lotion on your knees or feet. Just focus on you leg area and drag the mitt over your knees & feet and the lotion will get to them without collecting. 4) Buff like crazy. It takes me about ten minutes for my whole body because I make sure to really go over every area thoroughly-this is how you will avoid streaks. 5) using a fat makeup brush, apply the lotion to the makeup brush, then do that all over your face, then blend like crazy on your face with the makeup brush 6) do not use your bare hands for any of this. That is what turns your hands orange. At the end of this entire process when you take them off, rub your hands together as though you’re washing your hands and it will collect the lotion in your hands will get the tanner on them naturally without blotching. If you follow these steps and you use them and the makeup brush and you are very thorough and patient about it, you will not have any streaks and you will get a very nice glow tan

This is a good lotion if you want a brown not “golden or sun kissed” but it’s VERY thick. I’ve been putting lotion for years and I must say this is the only gradual self tanner than I got blotches with. I believe it’s my doing, becuz the lotion is SO thick. You have to squeeze the heck out of the bottle for it to come out. The smell to me is very perfumey and one that I can’t stand but it did not give me a headache or migraine which is a plus. I only gave it 4 stars as I won’t continue this particular one but I will switch back to the hydrating one that is much thinner or St Tropez med/dark. But it definitely gives a good brown color if that’s what you’re looking for. It also takes much longer to dry than the other two

Every year around this time, I have the same realization. My legs come out of winter looking like they’ve never seen sunlight. Ever. Like Victorian-era fainting couch pale. And every year I tell myself, “This is the summer I’m going to be bronzed and glowy and effortlessly sun-kissed.” But also… I refuse to bake outside like a rotisserie chicken or deal with streaky, orange self-tanner drama. So I went hunting for something low effort. Something “apply like lotion and move on with your life.” Enter this Tanologist Daily Glow lotion. The first night I used it, I treated it like any regular body lotion. Slapped it on after my shower, washed my hands like a responsible adult, put on pajamas, and hoped for the best. No mitt, no ritual, no standing around like a mannequin waiting to dry. It absorbed fast. No sticky, tacky feeling. No “don’t sit on the couch or you’ll stain everything you love” anxiety. Huge win. And the smell? Honestly… kind of amazing. Not that classic self-tan smell that sneaks up on you three hours later like a betrayal. It’s light and summery and actually pleasant. By the next morning, I looked… alive. Not dark. Not fake. Just like I’d gone outside and touched grass for once. After a few days of using it consistently, the color built into this really natural medium glow. The kind where people ask, “Did you go to the beach?” instead of “Did you lose a fight with a bottle of bronzer?” Also, zero orange. Truly. My biggest fear avoided. I wasn’t expecting much from the “firming” claim, but my skin does feel smoother and a little tighter looking, probably from the hydration. It feels more like a good body lotion that happens to tan, which I actually prefer. A couple honest notes: If you miss spots or rush, you can still get unevenness like any self-tanner, so basic blending still matters. And it’s gradual, so don’t expect instant deep bronze overnight. It’s more of a slow glow-up situation. For me though, that’s perfect. Less pressure, less risk. For about $14, it feels like a steal. It lasts a while and replaces both my lotion and my tanner, which my lazy side deeply appreciates. Final thoughts: If you want a natural, low-maintenance tan that looks like you drink water and go outside (even if you absolutely do not), this is it. Easy, glowy, smells good, and zero orange chaos. Five stars from me.

I can’t believe how well this worked the first time I used it. Product wasn’t overly creamy & did sink in with rubbing. It didn’t have an obvious burnt smell. For several days my skin remained smooth with the crepe skin. The “glo” was brown not orange or yellowish in color. I have quite fair mature skin & this didn’t make me look or feel like I was trying to turn back the clock. It looked natural & not like an influencer. I plan on getting a little help to put on my back so I have an overall tan/sun kissed color & firming skin. I would recommend this to spending time under day-long sun & worrying how effective your sunblock is doing.
