TAN-LUXEHydrating Express Self Tan Mousse

** IF YOU'RE UNSURE ABOUT PURCHASING, READ THIS FIRST! ** I'm an avid tanner and always need to be looking good and dark since I'm super pale. If that's you too, this is not worth it! I was in the market for a clear, transfer-proof tan to use strictly for my wedding day. I went with this brand because I love their face drops and was worried other (cheaper) brands would turn me orange. Here are the pros/cons I found. PROS: - No transfer while developing. Had extremely minimal transfer after a hot and humid hike while wearing a white t-shirt. - Beautiful warm, golden color while fresh. - Smells good like a perfume-y lotion, no fake tan scent at all. - Very hydrating on the skin. CONS: - If you're an ultra dark girlie, this is not it. I had to do a second coat the following morning for it to match my face (used with their face drops). - Takes a minimum of 6 hours to show a color that's noticeable on pale skin. Might work better for already tanned skin. - EXTREMELY STICKY!!! Feels like it never dried down even after several hours. - Their dark face drops developed color 10x faster than this "express" solution. - Does not last long compared to my other tans with a guide color. - Once it starts to fade it looks pretty orange. - Not beach or pool approved! - If you plan to be in water for longer than an hour, you may come out with odd patches. I swam in my pool for a few hours and got out with JUST my kneecaps gone! Never had that happen with what I usually use... So here's my take: I'm giving 2 stars for the transfer-proof aspect because that's what I was ultimately looking for. Since I had to use 2 coats to get my desired color (which meant being very sticky for 6+ hours twice) I would NOT recommend this, especially if transfer-proof doesn't matter to you. Unfortunately, the cons outweigh the pros for me. TLDR— The price point, the stickiness, and the amount of product I had to use to get good color should be considered a crime.

I love this tanner much more than St. ******. It goes on smoothly with a tanning mitt, doesn't leave guide marks, doesn't have the typical tanner odor, and it works incredibly well. Worth the price!

Pros: • goes on clear, so no messy guide color • bearable odor (I think all self tans have some smell due to DHA but this one isn't offensive) • good lasting power Cons: • I don't find it to be that "express", I still have to leave it on all day to get a decent color. For reference, I am very pale naturally. Overall, I would recommend and rebuy.

Unfortunately this product didn't work for me. I don't use tanning products… ever, so I am definitely out of practice. I exfoliated before use but my legs and arms turned out streaky and patchy. I am fairly with a cool toned complexion and the undertone was still a little warm for my liking. I left the mousse on for thirty minutes and then showered, but it just looked unnatural on me.

This tanning solution was not it for me personally! I goes on clear but it still gives that sticky feeling. I washed it off 2 hours later seen no results. Woke up the next morning and there was a light tan but patchy in places due to it being clear. Gifted by tanluxe
