Loving Tan 2 HR Express
Verified155 reviews
Magical – I am writing this review to let everyone know how brilliant Loving Tan products are. I discovered this fake tan a few months ago and cannot believe how incredibly natural the results are. I have a light skin tone, blonde hair and blue eyes and purchased the 2 HR Medium express mousse, the gradual tan in medium and the Loving Tan face in medium. I… Read more · 1
also purchased the applicator mitt and tan removing & skin polishing glove. The glove has two different textured sides and is excellent quality. I use this glove to remove my tan completely every ten days and I rinse both mitts every time I use them. Good preparation is key and this includes exfoliating first and then applying moisturiser all over, including your hands, feet and knees and allowing this to dry before using Loving Tan. I continue to moisturise every night whilst tanning. Further tips include, using soft sweeping strokes to apply the tan, and tanning your knees, elbows, feet and hands after working on the main areas of your body. This removes the bulk of the solution on the mitt. Another good tip is to apply a small amount of mousse to a makeup brush and gently apply this to your face using a circular motion, achieving a youthful, almost air brushed result. Do not wait the normal 8 hours to wash this off your face, as the results may be too dark for some skin tones. Foam makeup applicators are useful also and you can also contour your cheeks using the brush technique. I use the mousse first on my body and then after a few days apply the gradual tan. I always wash the tan off after my first initial application (6 - 8 hours )and this seals the colour and adds to the longevity of the product. My tan lasts 7 - 10 days and contributing factors to this include not having super hot or long showers. I find the Bondi Sands body wash and moisturiser also help. Loving Tan is expensive, however the tan lasts making my purchase economical. To save money you could eliminate the face tan and use either of the other two products instead. Loving Tan is organic, natural in colour, dries quickly, is easy to apply and does not smell. The results are flawless and I get so many compliments from people who think I am naturally tanned. It is worth spending the money on this quality tanning product.
Bottle size is a joke – I’m really shocked at how small the bottle is for such an expensive product, at least make the bottles 200ml if you’re going to put such a big price tag on the item! Show details
Worst tan I’ve used – Purchased this from oz hair and beauty for a special event thinking the colour would be beautiful, but it’s none existent. Left on for 5 hours and 24 hours later I still have no colour. Tried it again thinking it may have been my error but still nothing the second time round. I have never been more disappointed. And for $60? It actually makes be angry. $10 Le tan is far superior and that’s rather embarrassing. Do not waste your money. Show details

What is going on – I started out believing that you would develop a tan after 2 hours using the 2 he express...for some reason when I rinsed it off it completely went away. Once I read some reviews that it continues to develop within a few hours I went ahead and waited and went to bed. Woke up the next morning and STILL looked exactly how I looked when I went to… Read more
bed.. the only difference was I actually developed a little bit of an orange tint on my hands and face. Some reviews showed they had to apply a 2nd layer and left it on a little bit longer than the 2 hours... and so i did that. This time applying the second layer did actually make myself look darker as it was developing... I left it on for 4 hours and again hopped in shower and rinsed off since the tan was getting a bit darker than the first layer. However, again this product disappeared but leaving my hands and face a little bit of an orange tint and the rest of my body looking white. I don’t understand where all this hype was coming from or how in every video they looked dark using the dark 2 he express but somehow it wasn’t working out for me. I’m a little bit disappointed because I was so excited to use this but I guess that’s what happens...
Best ever – This tanner is the best I have used. I have been self tanning for 40 years and have tried too many to mention(expensive and cheap). I was looking for one that didn't streak or totally wash off while swimming. So I went to the lake twice and it stayed on and did not streak, it faded some. So the next week I reapplied and went to the water park… Read more
and pool and it did not streak. It did fade some but I was amazed that I still had some color with no streaks after a day at the water park. So I know that I can comfortably wear this to a pool, water park or lake and not have to worry about it streaking. Most tanners wash right off in the pool but this one and also the loving tan deluxe bronzing mousse stays on, doesn't streak, and fades slowly while in the water. It is worth the price and the 2 hour is convenient for me. The smell is good, there is no sunless tan smell at all. The 2 hr express in dark is really dark. The medium color is what I prefer because I want to be GOLDEN tan and not really dark. The deluxe bronzing mousse in dark is also really dark. I have medium skin tone. The loving tan products are the best, my favorite the 2 hr express medium. So if you want a beautiful tanner that you can swim in then here it is. It works for me. Good luck tanning.
Absolute BEST Self-Tanner – I am so incredibly happy with this product. First, it's so easy to apply. The application mitt allows for an easy, even application of the tanner. I did not find that the product had a strong smell, which I like. No need for worrying about a strong "tanning" scent. After a quick, relaxing two hours of the product absorbing into my skin, I followed… Read more
the recommended steps of rinsing off the product with water. After patting dry, I went to bed for the night and in the morning, I woke up with a beautiful golden tan. Absolutely no orange tint whatsoever, which is what I love most about this product. I cannot express how pretty the color is. By moisturizing each day, I was able to keep the pretty color for about a week. It fits perfectly into a weekly beauty regimen on the weekends. I would highly recommend this product to everyone! I think it's worth every penny and honestly, I think it's a great deal. A good spray tan is roughly the same cost and you get a lot more than just one tan out of one bottle of Loving Tan. I really enjoyed the Dark 2 Hour Express product and am looking forward to trying out the Ultra Dark 8 Hour product at some point!

I messed up – So, I’m a noob and bought the dark 2 hr express waited about three hours then washed it off .... with soap ... i didn’t know any better it wasn’t until i got out of the shower and saw how it all washed off that i looked up if i should have used soap or not .... so i applies another layer about 30 minutes after i showered but this layer looked DARK… Read more · 1
like way darker than the first time so i got scared and washed it off after about an hour ... am i still going to get a tan or did i just waste a bunch of product.. i should have looked everything up before but i was too excited
Can’t live without it during the summer! – I’ve been using Loving Tan Mousse now for about 2 years. I’m very sensitive to a lot of products and this one causes no irritation for me. It usually takes me 10-15 min to apply and let it dry. It’s also so easy to apply especially with the Loving Tan mitt. The tan usually last me about a week and a half, and I recommend this product to everyone I know! ❤️ Show details · 1
Will not ever be without this! – This stuff goes on really well and dries fast. I use the loving tan tanning mitt and it makes the process fast and easy. Less than 10 minutes to apply and dry! I could not imagine my summers without this stuff, it gives me confidence and an amazing glow with no orange or streaks. Love! Show details · 1
Negative reviews
It all came off on the first wash – I’ve heard many influencers rave about this tanner so I wanted to try it. I used the two hour express in the shade dark and I left it on for about 3 hours and just rinsed it off with water and the entire tan washed off. I know the guide color comes off on the first wash but there was absolutely no tan left when i came out the shower, in fact I… Read more
have tried the medium shade and even that one gave a little tint so I’m really confused. Is this normal? Will the tan develop over time? There is literally no tan at all besides my ankles are darker and thats it. I wish i took a picture to show. This is really bizarre I will try again and see if it works I really hope this 40 dollar product doesn’t go to waste
Hi Mirelly, Thanks so much for the feedback. We're… Read more
Said it was supposed to last 5 days but did not last 5 minutes – The application only took about 10-15 minutes. I exfoliated before hand like the directions said. It went on smoothly and looked like it was developing but when I washed it of 4 not 2 hours later, it literally all washed off. I’m super pale and it didn’t even leave a slight glow. It really didn’t work at all. Show details

Decent color but horrible smell – The color is decent, not too orange. At first, when applying, the smell isn’t bad, actually smells kind of good. But after the two hours and after rinsing it off, it smells absolutely horrible. Took a few showers for the smell to completely go away. Won’t be using again because if this Show details

I‘m so glad I discovered loving tan!! – I have ordered the Mousse 2hr express in Medium and have been using the product for about 2 months now. I am very very happy I found this product. It does not leave streaks. The colour has no orange tinge. The mousse has a guiding colour where you can see where you have already applied the product. This helps a lot to see where I have not… Read more · 1
applied the product yet. I get compliments for my tan every day because it looks identical to a natural tan.
Best self Tanner!! – I just ordered loving tan and tried it for the first time. They offer so many tips for how to apply it and it works flawlessly. I cancelled my spray tan membership and am saving so much money!! I recommend this product to everyone and anyone. I even tan my boyfriend and he LOVES it. It took me 5 minutes to apply and to allow to dry. Show details · 1
Love love love! – The 2 hr dark tan is honestly the best fake tan product I’ve ever used. Streak free, easy and quick application (because you can easily see where you’ve applied), a stunning golden tan colour and lasts at least a week with moisturising. Truly an excellent product that I wish I’d tried sooner. Show details · 1
This product kept me sane in isolation! – I have been using Loving Tan for 3-4 months now, and I have kept up my tanning routine even in isolation as it continued to make me feel good about myself in a time that was so distressing and mentally challenging. I love this product so much, I used to use a different brand fake tan until I was recommended to use Loving Tan, and I have never looked back! It is so easy to apply, dries so quickly, streak free and smells amazing. Show details · 1
I need advice – This is my second time purchasing loving tan.. as you would think I would be a master at self-tanning by now. I am very pale, last summer I got to recommend the loving tan 2 hours in the medium so I purchased and it was great the whole time... It lasted 5-7 days and was great but I just wish the color was a little darker. So this year I purchased… Read more · 1
the 2 hours dark, I have now used it multiple times and it all seems to come off in the shower and is longer dark.. I have looked tips and tricks and everything up. I watch the video on loving tans website every time too. It just has me a little disappointed.. anyone else having this problem
Best self tanner I have used... TOTALLY RECOMMEND! – I have been using Loving Tan for around a year now... And OMG this is the absolute BEST! This product dries super fast and if I have to be somewhere within the 2 hours before I shower it off, I can totally leave the house looking great because I already have a bronzed glow to my skin. I have never had a problem with streaks...(I use their mitt as… Read more
well which helps with a really smooth application). I have to say what really stands out about this brand is the natural olive color that is brought to the skin. I have used tanning products that will make me orange or have that orange tint. This is so natural and beautiful, the amount of compliments and comments I get about my tan is amazing. All of their products are worth it as I have used the gradual tan in medium, moved to dark shade, then started using 2 hour express which is a personal FAV!! 10/10 recommend, do not hesitate to get this! Worth every penny!
My favorite thing ever!! – Loving Tan is seriously THE BEST self tanning ever. I will only buy this brand and this brand only. It doesn’t make you orange, it’s not streaky at all, it blends so easily, and layers amazing!! They also have a variety of colors fitting any skin tone! When all of my friends go to school orange and has streaks on there arms or orange fingers I… Read more
always ask what tanner they use and it’s never Loving Tan, So many of my friends have started using Loving Tan products after i told them about it and they still thank me to this day. This brands products are a life changer and i will forever only buy these. Once you use Loving Tan you cant ever go back !! 100% worth the money and I totally recommend!!
So perfect!! – I have been using this product religiously for 2 years now and it is my favorite self tanner!! It drys super quick and does not feel sticky over night like other self tanners. The color is amazing on my skin! It takes me only about 10-15 minutes to apply over my body and dries completely in about 30-60 min! You can put on colors after 10-15 minutes though! Show details

BEST SELF TANNER – I can't explain how amazing Loving Tan products are. Honestly have no idea how I would live without them. The 2 hour express tan in dark is so perfect for girls who are just not patient and need to look tanned nice and quick. It applies super easily and keeps developing after you wash it off, it doesn't go patchy whatsoever and has a nice smell! I also love that it looks super natural, without orange tones. Could not recommend enough! Show details · 1

6+ hours my neck and chest look exactly the same as before I tanned (white as!!) The parts of my body where it doesn't lose its colour as much turn orange, instead of the deep brown from the colour guide. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Must have tanner – The 2 hr express is super easy to apply, the whole body application and drying time only took about 10-15 minutes. The color was really rich and lasted for over a week. Show details · 1

Live saving bronze – I am pale as heck with freckles. Trust me when I say I’ve tried every tanning product out there. Loving Tan is FINALLY sent from the bronze gods. It takes me only about 10 minutes to apply the mousse and then it dries really quickly. I get dressed and go straight to work and am fine if I wear dark-ish clothes. It’s also buildable if you want to… Read more · 1
shower and apply again the next day. Nice brown color that isn’t streaky. Best part? No smell! My ex tried to tell me to stop fake tanning because he hated the smells. This one he didn’t even know I was wearing. Loving Tan - Life. Changing.
No other brand comes close! – I've been a fan of their 2Hr Express Mousse in the color Dark for over three years now and have gone through so many bottles! Being Asian with very light skin, this product is such a dream not only because of how natural the color looks on my skin but also because of how long it lasts! I can't recommend this enough!

Loving tan putting the standards high!! – This gem of a tan roughly took me 15 minutes to apply and I didn’t need a second layer! Loving tan has blown my mind with how fast drying and comfortable it is! It’s a 10/10 for me... LIFE CHANGING! Show details · 1
I am honestly shocked – This tanning foam has changed my life. Unlike many others which have 8 hour waiting periods, this tan develops so quickly and so dark. Even on dry skin, Would highly recommend Show details · 1
My Go To Self Tanner – I absolutely love using Loving Tan! It took me 10-20 minutes to apply it to my body and dried within minutes after application. It’s the only self tanner I use now. It never leaves streaks and lasts for a week. I’ll highly recommend it! Show details
