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

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

Best sunless tanner EVER!!!! – The best self tanner I have ever used. So easy to apply and no streaking at all. I am honestly amazed. My legs have never been able to tan. This is magic in a bottle. Loving tan is my New obsession. I highly recommend this product to everyone. 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...

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!

So happy I have found this tan – I live in the uk and I am a tanning junky .. I like to try new tans but normally revert back to fake bake which I prefer to St Tropez. I thought I would give this a go after reading about it on a blog, so ordered some from the usa.. This is defo the best thing I've ever done. I used the dark express tan.. I applied late one evening when I got home… Read more

from work and washed off 6hrs later when awake. WOW! The colour is amazing a beautiful natural dark bronze on my pale skin. It lasted 5 days perfectly and then my hands began to fade ( I work in a bar so they get wet a lot).. the rest of my body remained perfect until scrub off day ( I do this weekly) .. It came off as easily as fake bake or st tropez (I soak for 10 minutes then use the st tropez tan remover scrub mitt. Reapplying is easy, I found this tan far easier to apply than fake bake or st tropez, I had no trouble blending it in, which I have read some people did.. I personally use gloves then smooth with a mitt, I dont use a mitt as it soaks up too much tan. If I apply in the day time then I usually wash the tan off my hands after a few hours but leave the rest 6hrs .. I put lotion on my hands and feet before application. I even used this on my face which I normally spray tan, and it came out great.. defo my favourite ever tan and I have tried everyone on the market just about..

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

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

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!

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!

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

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!

The best self tanning products! – This product is the best self tanning product I've ever used. Dries within minutes of applying and is streak free! Looks so naturally beautiful on the skin. Definitely worth the money as it does not come off as orange on the skin even for fair skinned women like me!
