Question:	Is this good for actual tan? Color turned out good
Answer:	Yes! This stuff works great! I used this for one day of laying by the pool for 2 hours and had visible tan lines at the end of the day!
Question:	Can u use his n tanning bed too
Answer:	Oil based tanning lotions or tanning oils ruin the tanning bed acrylic by making it crack, and also pose a danger to other people by making the floor slippery. Tanning salons usually have a statement on their release forms that say you can’t use oils in their beds.
Question:	could i mix some with sunscreen and apply instead of spf first then this lotion? or will it be streaky
Answer:	Yes, I do it all the time. You can mix with any lotion, and it blends seamlessly or like it's one lotion.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it make a spots darker and give you spots
Answer:	Does not give spots. Need to make sure you spread evenly to ensure even color. Used for years & love. Wash hands immediately after applying to avoid color where you don’t want it.
Question:	Does it dry face out and does it give immediate color
Answer:	I haven't used it on my face because Clarins has a product especially for the face, but it does give some immediate color because the cream is tinted.

Question:	How long does it stay on for before having to reapply
Answer:	I've used this for a couple of years - when you apply it you need to wash your hands because it will stain them - but I need to reapply this product daily. It builds up a little when you do, but mostly it washes off. So daily application or every couple of days. It isn't permanent. And I don't use it all the time, just when I want a little color/glow.

User questions & answers

Question:	I have ordered this product direct from the company website in the past & am wondering if this is the authentic tanner or a knockoff
Answer:	This is the exact same product made and sold by Tanceuticals.
Question:	The bottle is only 4.2 ounces, how many full-body applications can you actually get out of it
Answer:	Hi there. The bottle lasts 4-6 weeks using it 1-2 times per week. Those numbers vary a bit based on how much is used on each application. Fortunately, our lotion is very thin so you don't have to put on a ton to get great results. And the consistency also helps it dry very quickly and produces virtually no stickiness. Hope that helps!
Question:	Is this cream or liquid
Answer:	It is supposed to be a cream, but it is more of a liquid. Love this stuff. I use a mitt to put it on. Be extra careful when tipping over, because it will pour out.
Question:	I am over 60. does this work on older people without darkening in creases of older skin
Answer:	I am also 60 years old I use a mitt to apply it and it goes on very good it doesn't take very much small circular motions with very little as long as it's coating your skin that's all you need you don't need to use a lot. I get approximately 10 applications out of 1 tube

User questions & answers

Question:	Whats the difference between this bb balm(drk orange bottle) and the "On the Glow" lotion in the lighter tube
Answer:	This one (the BB) has a slight tint/shimmer. In saying that it isn’t tan tint that stains and doesn’t leave your skin sparkly. I prefer the color the BB gives.
Question:	Can you get the same tan and does it last as long as the towels
Answer:	I've never used the towels so I have nothing to compare to.
Question:	How strong is the "vanilla scent"? I am really not a fan of vanilla
Answer:	I'm not either but it's nice compared to other tanning lotions. It's not a strong vanilla scent and honestly I don't notice it after it dries.
Question:	does it rub off on clothes
Answer:	I have not experienced any issues with it rubbing of clothes. I has a very creamy consistency and seems to absorb well.

User questions & answers

Question:

Does it make age spots darler

Answer:

Honestly, this particular facial tanner does not work AT ALL! I'm not kidding! I've tried it EVERY DAY for 7 days straight...I've friend layering it.rtc...to absolutely no avail. Please do not waste your money with this. If I were you, I'd try they Mystic Tan Wake up- Facial tanner or Just the Overall Mystic Tan Wake Up Tan. It's gentle enough for your face. It's a Hyaluronic Acid Overnight Moisterzer Water Mousse. It's amazing!... Just put it on at night and you'll be amazed at the results!!. Trust me. Good luck...but whatever one you choose...dont waster your money on this Sun Laboratories Faces Only tanner. Maybe I got an expired bottle, but i could have received an expired version. Hope this helps!
