Who is it for?

A good fit for

  • Those willing to blend the mist with a tanning mitt and wash their hands after application.

Less suited to

Customer feedback highlights a natural-looking tan, an absence of harsh scent and ease of application. Reports are mixed on streaking, transfer and how long the result lasts, with some customers saying it fades after a few days and others describing longer wear. Customers also describe it as expensive. For a clear mist that requires blending with a mitt, the disagreement on streaking and durability is worth weighing against the convenience of the application format.

Positive themes

  • Customers describe the tan as natural-looking rather than orange or overly brown.
  • Some customers say application is easy and the product has no harsh scent.

Negative themes

  • Customers describe the product as expensive.
  • Some customers report that the tan fades after 3–4 days.

Mixed feedback

  • Customers disagree about whether application is streak-free.
  • Reports differ on longevity and whether the product transfers to clothing. Some also say it can be hard to remove.
