b.tan Spray Tan Kit | At Home Spray Tanning Kit, Includes Spray Tan Machine, Tanning Applicator Mitt, 8 Fl Oz Solution Mist

I don’t understand the negative reviews. This is literally my new favorite thing. I had a gym membership just for the spray tanning but their machine was always messing up. The solution that comes with this sprayer isn’t great and it stinks. But the sprayer itself is amazing! I bought the Norvell (Dark) handheld spray tan solution and I use it in this sprayer and it’s amazing!! It lasts me about two weeks. It’s easy to do it yourself (minus mid back — I have my bf so that), and it goes on evenly. If I mess up I just rub it in with the mitt comes with. If you’re a routine spray tanner I highly recommend.

Doesn’t spray evenly, and after all , that’s its purpose. Cheap quality, but clunky to use by one’s self. I have decided to use a vacuum spray bottle, it sprays a fine mist at all angles, works much , much, better.

FYI: when you open this the box says “Tan AF”. I thought that another parent might like to know that. I kinda thought it was a little inappropriate for my daughter to see but oh well. I have been using this “Tan AF” spray tanning machine for about 3 months to spray my 14 year old before she competes in dance competitions. It has saved me a lot of money because I used to pay to have professional spray tans and the cost of one tan paid for this machine! I have never tried tanning myself so I cannot speak to the difficulty of that but it seems like it would be hard to get it even on many parts of your own body so I would recommend getting another person to spray you. I did use the solution that came with the machine one time and it was ok. Initially it looks green but the green washes off and the tan was pretty nice the next day. The solution that comes with the machine is a pretty small bottle, so got a different solution from another vendor and my daughter likes the color of that one better. There is definitely a learning curve to spray tanning. Here are some tips for using this machine: Use the middle setting (3-4), make up and down sweeps followed by side to side and don’t get too close to the body. Also prep is super important. Take a shower and shave a couple hours before tanning, no lotion, no deodorant and get completely dry. After tanning, do not get near anything wet WATER IS THE ENEMY OF SPRAY TANS.

I’ve had a spray tan membership at a salon for a few years now. Thought I’d try to save some $$$ and try it at home. Definitely easy to do with this machine, but not overly impressed with the results. The spray itself is so fine, and half the time I don’t think anything is coming out. I’ve tried adjusting the air flow, but can’t tell a difference. It just turns out really streaky and blotchy because there’s so little solution coming out, you have to be so close to yourself then you can see the lines. Maybe I’m used to an all over, full coverage tan, and this just doesn’t produce the same results. I’m sure it’s fine for someone who isn’t used to spray tanning weekly and having awesome results. For the price, I think it’s decent. But I upgraded the color to a name brand and I like it a lot more than what came with the machine. Also, 30 days isn’t long enough to decide if you’re keeping this. I’m actually shopping for something better.

The set up is great. It is a good size and doesn't feel awkward in my hands. It seems like it has a lot of power, but unfortunately, mine did not spray well. Hardly anything came out of the sprayer at all. I pinched the little nozzle inside, and still nothing. I really wanted this to be awesome.

good machine but id opt out of the tanning solution in the kit and find another alternative

Awesome 😎

Update to my first review: Returned the awful splattering one and got a new one. This one thankfully doesn’t splatter BUT it is just as weak as the other one. Total garbage. What a massive disappointment. Used this brand for years. Now it takes at least 5+ times as long to tan and it still isn’t as good of coverage … even after going over and over and over again. What a total waste of money. There has to be a way to adjust the flow. (Aside from the dial that barely does anything). After years of tanning … now I have to find a new type of gun that actually works. These are absolute crap now. Initial review- I’ve had 2 or 3 of these b.tan guns over the years and they were great. I accidentally broke my last one and the other ones wore out after years of use. I loved them. Never an issue. Decided to get a new one (same brand, of course) and it’s awful. The spray is beyond weak. It took F O R E V E R …and then started splattering the tanning solution all over. I’ve adjusted the settings and it doesn’t help. I don’t know if it’s this new model that’s horribly bad …or if I just got a cruddy one. Streaky splatters is not the look I wanted. Wish I could get the old model.
