B.TANInsanely Dark Clear Self Tan Gel | Glow Your Own Way Next Level - Best, Transfer-Resistant Sunless Tanning Lotion, Ultra Quick Bronze, No Fake Tanner Smell, 16 Fl Oz

I have tried several different self tanners over the years, and this is the best! You don’t need a $40 bottle of self tanner. This item is very cost-effective and does a great job. I particularly like that it does not stink, and it does not rub off on clothing very easily. If you are wearing a light colored pair of denim shorts that are quite fitted in the leg, you may see some of that color underneath the cuff but that’s no big deal. The transfer is minimal on most clothing, and I can live with that for the trade-off that this does a great job of giving you some summer color! You do not need to use very much, as it will spread well over your skin. It does need a few moments to dry.

I am a very consistent self tanner and have used very type/ brand of tanner you can imagine. I recently tried the b.tan gel in insanely dark and I’m absolutely in love! It’s dark, easy to sleep in, glides on well with a tanning mitt for an easy, even application, smells good, fades well, and it’s super hydrating. I cannot believe how cheap it is!!! I used to use the isle of paradise drops in dark which I still use for my face but the small bottle doesn’t last long when using it for the whole body. I tired the b. Tan drops and they are very runny - like water and hard to mix with moisturizers. But overall very happy and excited I found such a great product and at such a great price point!

I like the natural look of this tanning gel. It doesn’t last as long as another I have been using but I like the bronzing color of this one better. Not orange at all just looks tan. Also dries pretty quickly since it is a gel.

I was hesitant at first to buy this self-tanner at first. I do love the brand b.tan, but I have had some problems with their foaming tanners in the past. But this tanner is AMAZING!To say the least, the product does NOT transfer onto your clothing - I wore a white t-shirt to bed after applying, and the t-shirt the next day was still white!The gel is super easy to apply and comes on smoothly to the skin. I think the clear aspect to it is perfect, so you can apply it during the day and you won't have the green discoloration to you that the foams give.After applying, it is NOT sticky and you can move freely instead of standing like a stick figure waiting for it to "dry".Also, I'd like to add that this tan does NOT give you a lingering chemical smell after applying & you SERIOUSLY do not have to "wash it off" !!I am Irish, so I've always had pale skin, and this tanner does just the right amount of color for me after 1 layer. It doesn't come out fake and orange; it looks pretty natural to me.Overall, this product is definitely my new go-to self-tanner, and I would recommend it to anyone tired of the green tint of the skin, stickiness, and transfer of color onto clothing that the average self-tan gives you!

Hi! I purchased this product to get a quick, noticeable tan and to avoid long hours of needless sun or UV rays exposure and the expense of tanning sessions. This was my FIRST experience with a self-tanning product of any kind (e.g., lotions, gels, mousses, serums, etc.). Overall, the glow this tanning gel gives you is AMAZING. As a clear gel, you probably wouldn't anticipate the results this self-tanner provides. Ultimately, the product will bronze your skin, but it will also leave a faint orangey undertone. Importantly, both a downside and an upside of this product IS that the gel is clear. So, although it is transfer-resistant, there is no guide to show where you have and have not applied the product.Below are longer explanations related to the product's moisturization, scent, and use.When first applied, the product's scent is coconut-like and pleasant. However, an hour after the application, the dried gel smelled odd. Unfortunately, the smell does not disappear. Instead, it clings to you. I could smell it on my skin and asked a friend whether or not they could detect the odor. Admittedly, my friend pressed their nose almost directly against my skin, but they could also smell it. Although scents rarely bother me, eventually, the product began to smell undeniably unpleasant. At last, I showered and scrubbed myself twice, but the smell lingers. If you are sensitive to smells or odors, reconsider purchasing and using this product.Fortunately, the product did not irritate my skin. Although the product claims to "give you the juiciest, moisturized glow," I did not find it moisturizing. But the gel did NOT dry out my skin either. Admittedly, I did not purchase this product for its supposed moisturizing benefits. Ultimately, its lack of moisturization does not upset me. Indeed, other customers might have thought it to be moisturizing.Overall, there are several points I want to address. First, I want to emphasize the "rinse-free" label. The product states that it is a "rinse-free" tan gel, and IT IS. However, I experienced some confusion during my first application. I purchased a bundle that included the tanning gel and an application mitt. The two items arrived together in a plastic package that directs you to rinse off the gel after setting it for several hours.During my first application, I only applied the gel to my legs. Eventually, I rinsed off (i.e., without using soap) and dried off with a towel. I discovered large, discolored smears where I had wiped the gel off my legs. Although the gel was dry, it did not react well after rinsing. Overall, IF you purchase the tanning gel and mitt bundle, please DO NOT RINSE ALTHOUGH THE BUNDLE BAG INSTRUCTS YOU.The Glow Your Own Way bottle states that it is rinse-free. After my second application on my upper body, I wore the gel for twenty-four hours before showering. So, how did the tan react to a complete shower (i.e., with soap)? It reacted well! My skin has a moderate bronze tone. Several of the uneven dark patches disappeared. Ultimately, I cannot guarantee the longevity of this tan. But I predict it will last three to four more showers.The second point I want to address is the non-transfer guarantee. I found the "transfer-resistant" claim to be TRUE. Since the gel is clear, immediate transfers will not happen. However, I recommend waiting about thirty minutes until the gel absorbs before lying or sitting on furniture. I did not test that hypothesis; it is merely precautionary advice. My clothes did not stain. However, I did rest my forearms against my thighs several times, and the gel did transfer to my skin while it was tacky.The last point I want to mention is the method of application. Although the bottle encourages you to, I did not use my bare hands to apply the product. (Considering how it stained my skin in several spots, I do NOT suggest using your bare hands). Instead, during the first application, I used a rubber glove. If you use a rubber glove, you will not waste as much product since the gel does not absorb into the mitt. However, you will NOT need to dispense as much product onto your rubber glove. If you use a tanning mitt, you will use more product as it absorbs into the fabric. However, as a first-time self-tanner, I found the application easier with a mitt than a rubber glove.I believe I applied the gel more evenly with the mitt. Therefore, I recommend using an applicator mitt with this product.

Impressed! Thought this might not be dark enough but its perfect. A really natural bronze glow. I wish it lasted a little longer but its super quick and easy to apply. Doesn't take a ton of product like a lot of foams and lotions seem to. A little goes a long way. Has not caused streaking at all and NO transfer. Is a little sticky but dries really fast. I put it on after a shower in the morning and let it dry while brushing my teeth and stuff and then get dressed like normal. I use it on my face which I don't know if that's advised but it works great. But it does come off after washing. Is something you need to apply everyday to the face, maybe every other for body. But like I said, its quick and easy. Takes maybe an hour or less to fully develop. My only complaints are I wish I didn't need to apply daily and I don't care for the tropical smell. Also is a little drying. But I put some of my regular body lotion with a scent I like over it (after it dries for a few minutes) and that helps with the coconut smell and lack of moisture.
