You will begin to see results around the 4 hours, but your tan will continue to develop for up to 24 hours after application.

    Tanning Water Medium to Dark
    The best!!

    I've been using this tanning water for 2+ years and as someone who is very acne-prone, I believe it has actually been apart of helping me heal my acne, as well as making me feel so confident. I get compliments every time I use this product!!

    Great product overall

    I got the light to medium tanning water. For me, this product is great because I like that its subtle and natural looking and has no harsh chemicals. Basically, it looks like you have a bit of color, but you're definitely not obviously tanned or anything. I do find that you need to use more than the recommended amount (I usually use 5 sprays per application), and it doesn't last that long (2 days max). Overall, I like it and tend to apply it the night before an event to give myself a subtle tan.

    Good for 2 days

    It gives a good blended tan with the brush, but once I wash my face it pretty much washes off. Probably wouldn't buy again

    Hi Carissa, thank you for your honest review. I'm glad to hear you've been getting great results with your set, but I'm sorry to hear the tan hasn't been lasting as long as you'd hoped. The Tanning Water is designed so you should only need to apply it every 2-3 days, and the significant fading you're mentioning with just one wash isn't typical. Our team has reached out privately with some prep and application tips to help make sure you're getting the most out of your bottle!

    Tanning Water Light to Medium
    Tricky

    I find that there is a very fine line between too much, where you can get orange looking or not enough color.

    But when you can get it right the color is amazing but it do not know how to do it consistently
