Dark Sunsation 32 oz. Value Size VERY DARK Sunless Tanning Lotion

I really love this tanning lotion. The color looks natural on my skin. I apply it right out of the shower using a mitt. It goes on even. The smell is so slight unlike other tanning products I've used. Highly recommend it.

I have been in the fashion and beauty business for over 20 years. I was trained in the art of hair and face by the first invasion of the British scene. Namely Vidal Sassoon's. I have personally tested over 75 self tanners. I ownd a salon that was recognized by Cosmopolitan magazine as being "one of America's hottest salons". My salon employed a number of tanning beds. I've owned personal self ran spray machines. In other words.... I know my s#%t.!!! Today's subject is a review on SUN... VERY DARK & SUN ULTRA DARK. Let me begin with this. There the same formula. One is no darker than the other. Confusing. First thing SUN should address.Now the product. In the 75-100 self tanners I have used, I've never rendered any product a 5 star review. I'm picky and firm.... and honest. I've used self tanners that cost between $4.00 and $80.00 dollars. No 5 stars yet. 1,2,and 3 stars make up 95 % of any product I have used.Again.... Now SUN.SUPERLATIVE. I'll keep it simple. I look for texture, fragrance, spreadability, moisture content, and economics. Then last of all I rate the color. Sounds backwards I know. But isn't.SUN is the nicest texture I have ever used. Jergens lotion has a beautiful texture also. But don't play consumer idiot. Jergens is lovely to apply, but is too thick. Manufacturers know this. Thick means usage of more product. More product means more sales. SON IS Much thinner, yet not at all runny. It spreads beautifully. Goes a long long way. Fragrance is gorgeous. Not overpowering cherry almond smell. Has a built in bronzer. You know where you have applied and what you missed. Works far better on faces than most. Common problem with self tanners is that they can profusely dry out the skin. I've been scared in the morning to look at my facial skin. Sometimes I've looked 10 years older from increased wrinkling. Also most self tanners play havick on age spots, liver spots, moles. They get overly dark. SUN isn't nearly as guilty of this infraction. Must use a glove or mitt as usual. Mitt better. Absorption is excellent. Bleeding issue is excellent, as in I'd doesn't. Sheet and clothes transfer exc. Economics exc. Buy the 32 Oz. Shop around before you do. Go for a bundle. My seller was very exc. Some problems with order. Immediately rectified. In finishing, I'll say this. The only reason. I did not give this product a 5 star rating is this. I found it fell slightly short in its darkening ability. When you coin a product VERY DARK OR ULTRA Dark, then you had better live up to that. SUN fails to do this. It no doubt will dork better for people as ith pale or lighter pigment. If hour looking for that dark Brazilian tan... this isn't for you. One of the greatest self tanners I've ever used. A SOLID 4 STARS. If they'll listen to me, twill be a 5 star product. Only one I would have ever used.Also.... forgive me, I forgot earlier to mention.... This product has a very neutral base tint. Not olive, and thank you Lord.... NOT AT ALL ORANGE or overly warm. Natural looking. Thanks for you time.

Finally y’all!! I found something that I absolutely love. I’ve tried so many different brands and this is the one that I’ll use forever. The one thing I just can’t stand is how sticky self tanners make you feel. It was becoming torture because I’m so incredibly translucent white :(This photo is after applying two days in a row, however, it’s very similar to the day one application on completely white skin.As you can see, there is zero orange tint. The color is so natural. Application is easy, it dries pretty fast so hustle a bit. The fact that it dries fast is huge for me. Oh! And my hands and feet!!! Perfect! Whyyyyy did it take me so long to find this stuff? It also does not come off on clothing/sheets. Best tanner ever!!!

I've been using this product for years, unlike other sunless tanning products, this one doesn't have that orange-ish look. It really produces a natural looking tan. In addition to that, it has a very pleasant scent. To me it is well worth the price and a little goes a very long way. I give it 4 stars for 'easy to spread,' as it is not oily, you do have to take care spreading it to avoid missing areas, or over applying in areas. I use vinyl gloves when applying it otherwise your palms will get stained. I received a mitt with this order, I have not used it yet. For me, the vinyl gloves work fine.

Love this product! After trying it a few times and a few different ways, I’ve got a system down. It may seem daunting to apply the lotion all over if you’re using your hands or a regular latex/non-latex gloves. USE THE MIT! Not only does it make the lotion seemingly absorb better, but it comes out streak free! What would take me 30 minutes with regular gloves, takes me maybe 10 now. Absolutely love this product and it’s the only self tanner I’ll use. Note: after the initial application (usually at the 1 hour mark) it does have that self tanner smell. But it’s not unbearable.
