Hi,
I just want to know if anyone has used any tanning lotions and how well they work. How long do they take to wash off? Does the tan look natural, or obviously fake?

I used Sunless tanning lotions, and I personally do not prefer them. Sunless tanning lotions give out the secret, that it’s fake.

They wash away within a week, depends what products you used. Neutrogena Tanless Lotion usually last about 8 days, and it kind of makes you look orange, but that depends on your skin.

Coppertone Sunless Tanning lotion gives out good looking tan... but fades away within 3-4 days.

I guess you just have to try all of them :-)

Best Wishes!

Sunless tanners are a great alternative to skin cancer. There are many different types as well.....at home ST's include lotions, sprays & mousses. You can also get a tan sprayed on at a place like Mystic Tan, and you can also get a tan applied with an air brush. How they look and how long they last depends on the product you use, your skin type, and the after care routine that you follow. It's trial and error at first, but once you find the right product and routine it's a great way to have a tan and save your skin.
