Banana Boat Summer Color Self Tanning Lotion, 6oz | Self Tanner, Deep Dark Color for All Skin Tones, Gradual Tanning Lotion, Sunless Tanner, 6oz

I’ve tried everything under the sun for self tanning especially when I was pregnant and everything I’ve ever used is orange or streaky etc. this comes in a dark shimmer as well but I only get the one that looks like a white lotion when you apply it. You run it on just like lotion and use a decent amount like you’re moisturizing. Rub it in evenly all over until its mostly absorbed into the skin, just be careful around the ankle abs elbow areas I always kinda of brush my hands on those parts after I’ve already done my body that way it’s still on my hands but just moistened enough to give it slight color without it leaving the ankle and elbow area darker or orange looking. Just one use of this changes your color dramatically (in a good brown way) and it last about a week but if you reapply it for a few days you’ll be set for a few weeks! I only apply it at night that way when I shower in the morning the color has already set in and you’re ready to go😁 I love using it on my face too! It’s the most natural looking self tanner I’ve come across and I’ve been using it for years I just hate that I can’t find it in stores anymore but was thankful to find it on here!

I was really squeamish to try inexpensive self-tanning products. I've only ever used Clarins, which is one of the best in the industry, but who really wants to pay $50-60 for a few ounces of self-tanner? Now that I'm in grad school I have to pinch pennies, so Clarins is not an option. The Banana Boat Deep Dark Color on most websites always had really high reviews so I thought I'd give it a try.Very quick fulfillment from the seller through Prime - I ordered this on a Friday afternoon and it arrived on my door Tuesday morning.I used it yesterday on my legs and within 4 hours my legs had an even, dark, natural-looking tan! I could totally tell the difference because I didn't do my lower ankles or feet (since I hadn't exfoliated) and it looked like I had a sock line! I didn't think the first application would give so much color, but it did! It does have that weird self-tanner smell but it's not too powerful.This morning I shaved my legs and thought the tanner would come off completely. It didn't. You could see some of it coming off the razor but after my shower my legs just looked a little lighter. I was relieved to find the tan was still visible and still even, no razor lines. Looks like this should be a low-maintenance way too keep my legs looking sun kissed all summer!Having glowing legs really boosted my mood - the tan sort of evens out your skin and keeps your leg veins from being visible. Give your skin this gift and STOP ruining your skin in tanning beds, ladies!

Fantastic product for the pasty white person! I hate being white all summer, but I hate cancer more, so this product is awesome. I was worried about it being called "deep dark," thinking perhaps I should go for the lighter shade they offer, but ultimately decided to go for it. I built up a base on my legs by using it daily for a week. Now I use it every other day or so, and I actually have tan legs!!! Not orange, tan! I've tried a lot of sunless tanning products and my biggest complaint is usually the smell. While this does have a slight smell, it's not nearly as horrid as many of the others I've used. It also dissipates after a little while. I know some people have had a hard time with dark spots on ankles and knees. Not sure if this helps or not, but I always use Aveeno bath and shower oil at the end of my showers because I have very dry skin. Then I apply the Banana Boat to my legs right after, and though I do use it sparingly on my ankles and knees, I've not had a problem with dark spots. Also, a little of this goes a long way. Very happy with this product, will buy again!

I've been using Banana Boat Summer Color Sunless Lotion in Deep Dark for a while now, and overall, I'm quite satisfied with its performance. Let me break it down.Firstly, the moisturizing aspect of this lotion is top-notch. It leaves my skin feeling soft, hydrated, and supple, which is a huge plus, especially during the dry summer months.In terms of color, I'd rate it a solid 4 out of 5. The deep dark shade gives me a natural-looking tan that's not too orange or streaky. However, I've noticed that the color tends to fade after about a week, which is a bit disappointing. It would be perfect if the tan lasted a bit longer.On the bright side, the price point is fantastic. At such an affordable price, it's hard to beat the value you get with this product. It's great for those on a budget or anyone looking for an economical sunless tanning option.Overall, Banana Boat Summer Color Sunless Lotion is a great choice if you're looking for a moisturizing self-tanner that won't break the bank. Just be prepared to reapply it every other week to maintain your desired tan level.

I am very pale and use the dark shade. I generally have to use two coats. The smell isn't bad and fades. I like the color.

I've ordered this many times over and love it! I've never had a 'bad' tube. It's a great product and goes on smoothly, evenly and always leaves me with a perfect tan look. I've never been disappointed and know I'll be continuing to order it many times in the future!
