Comments about Banana Boat Summer Color Sunless Tinted Lotion:
Really natural looking tan! I showered and exfoliated then applied this lotion all over my body, except my face. The color was very subtle at first. I waited a day, showered and exfoliated again then applied another layer. This time the color was much more noticeable, but still not overbearing. Just be sure to put a moisturizing lotion on your palms before applying tanning lotion and washing your hands aggressively once you're done. I did that after the first coat and my palms were fine but neglected those steps the second time and my hands are a bit stained. Also avoid wearing jewelry or a tight hair tie around your wrist until you're absolutely sure the lotion is dry!

Comments about Banana Boat Summer Color Sunless Tinted Lotion:
I use this every summer, I don't tan a lot anymore but I do like to wear capri's in the summer and I have very white legs. My arms always seem tanned so I use this and my legs look great. I goes on easy, lasts for a long time and the color is more natural instead of orange.

Comments about Banana Boat Summer Color Sunless Tinted Lotion:
I used this product because I wanted an affordable alternative to UV tanning. I have to say I'm impressed! It was the first time I've used a self tanner. It rubs in perfectly well with your hands (no mitt required) and is 100% non-greasy. It gives me a wonderful glow without glitter. I love that it has vitamin E and aloe vera that makes my skin soft to the touch. The smell isn't bad either. I wish this product came in a larger bottle, I'd be willing to pay more.
Pros
- Not Greasy
- Rubs In Well
- Sweatproof
Cons

Comments about Banana Boat Summer Color Sunless Tinted Lotion:
I purchased this product after cutting back the budget on salon spray tans. After salon tanning once a week for two years I was desparte to find a less costly option and stumbled upon high reviews for this and gave it a try.
SHOCKED! This product is very similar to the results I get at the salon! No streaking, no orange color, dries quickly, long lasting. It does smell horrible. They all do. Nothing you can do about that!
TIPS AND TRICKS:
SCRUB SCRUB SCRUB prior to first use. Exfoliate the heck out of your skin.
Apply thick body lotion to the bottoms of feet, in between toes and fingers and on palms.
Use a generous amount on clean, dry skin. Rub in using long even strokes.
After use get out the exfloiator and once again scrub your hands. This keeps them from turning crazy orange. Do not skip this!
I used this product following two coats of the Banana Boat Spray. Let dry between applications. Your results will be an even, golden tan, similar to a salon level 2.
I have been very high maintenence when it comes to beauty products and yet I am absolutely shocked at how well this product performs if it is used correctly.
A user for life. Love it.

Comments about Banana Boat Summer Color Sunless Tinted Lotion:
I start using this about 1 1/2 weeks prior to an event when I want my legs to be tinted. I find that prolonged daily use leaves my skin itchy but not rashy. I use this before applying my regular body lotion. The color is subtle and I like the effect.

Cons

Comments about Banana Boat Summer Color Sunless Tinted Lotion:
I have used Jergens quite a bit and liked it. A friend recommended Banana Boat. I got the deep dark and LOVE it! It goes on with a little tint making it easy to see where you've already applied. With Jergens, I had to wait for several applications. With Banana Boat, I could see a difference after 1 application!
