Banana Boat Summer Color Self-Tanning Lotion

 What I Like:
  • Result gives a nice gradual tan color, not orange on me (see note below)
  • Slightly tinted so you can slightly see where you applied.
What I Don't Like:
  • I cannot tell a lie: As with all gradual self-tanners, this does have THAT scent!  You know the one - my sister once described the scent as human barbecue so now that thought is emblazoned on my brain and I think of it every time I catch a whiff...and of course it makes me laugh!
  • If you do not blend it out well enough or apply too much in one application it can be orange (see QuickieTip Below!!)
  • If you do not regularly re-apply, it can get patchy.
  • May take time to build up color you want.
Banana Boat Summer Color Self-Tanning Lotion
Application Tips!
The BBW Vanilla/Coconut Lotion helps mask some of that human barbecue smell!
Try different lotion scents to see what you can come up with!
When I Use It:
  • I apply it every day on alternate areas (Day 1: Legs/Feet, Day 2: Upper Body)
  • Depending  on how long it is lasting, I may wait until the third day to reapply if still looks good.

How I Use It:
Lotion + Tanner Amounts
  • Everyday in the shower: exfoliate using a clean bath poof, dry body thoroughly.
  • If ankles, elbows and knees are dry, first apply lotion lightly
  • Mix close to equal parts of the self-tanner and lotion together and mix together in your palms. Apply!
  • Stand there buck-naked while it dries.
  • The method of mixing in the lotion helps spread it around easier, absorb more evenly and doesn't stick to dry patches as well = more even color.
  • Regularly moisturize so it keeps your skin soft and not prone to flaking your new color off!
