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

    A must have!

    I have been regularly using the Tanning Water in my skin routine for a couple years and I am absolutely obsessed! The Tanning Water leaves a really nice and smooth glow.

    My holy grail!

    I am absolutely in love with this product. I am VERY fair, and the tanning water gives me that glow that just makes me feel naturally beautiful. I love the ingredients, packaging, scent and convenience. I love that it’s buildable, but also so so natural looking. It gives my skin that extra boost so I can go makeup free. I will never go back to any of the other tanning products I’ve tried- nothing compares!

    Works Great

    Here’s a well-crafted review for a face tanning lotion:

    Product Review: Face Tanning Lotion

    I’ve tried numerous self-tanning products, but this face tanning lotion stands out for all the right reasons! It gives me a natural-looking glow without any streaks or orange tones. The lotion is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave my skin feeling greasy.

    After just one application, my skin looked sun-kissed and healthy!

    Another major plus? No unpleasant odor! Unlike many self-tanners. It’s also gentle on my sensitive skin — no irritation, no breakouts.

    I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a safe, effortless way to achieve a radiant glow year-round. It’s my go-to product for maintaining a sun-kissed look, no matter the season!

    Tanning Water Medium to Dark
    BEST thing ever.

    I have been recently struggling with post acne scars and some levels of skin reactivity and because of all of my retinols and treatments, SPF was a must BUT that means my face is a whole lot paler than my body. I tried this water with the brush and not only did my acne prone skin literally love it, but I’m on my second full bottle and I have never received so many compliments about my skin. In the past week of being back in my home town 3 separate people have told me my skin looks “radiant and glowing”, something my acne journey led me to think I would NEVER be hearing. As someone who is naturally olive toned (I use dark medium in the water), I love being able to match my face tan to my natural body tan and this product genuinely helps me feel like my most genuine and natural self, just a bit more glowy. I’m OBSESSED and have already gotten all of my friends to use this too.
