Review on 🌞 b.tan Pre-Shower Self-Tanner Mousse Boost by Daniel Spear

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A Dude's Perspective: LOVE IT!

Shade: Ain't Nobody Got Time.Me: 5'9, 200lb, 37yo white male with light eyes, very pale/red toned skin with thick coverage of blond hair preventing a tan.See the photos! I made sure the cool/warmness of the photos is accurate to what my eye sees. The two photos with only concrete behind are taken in direct afternoon sun. The 1 Pic with a fist and rugs is on a shaded porch.I was really scared that I'd look like I stayed in Mar-a-Lago too long. Not with this! Sure, the application could've been better, but for a first time I've learned where to apply more/less. I highly suggest buying the b.tan mitt.Pre-game: Shower with a plastic netted loufa, I wouldn't use body wash with lotions, you need to exfoliate and have nothing on your skin so your application isn't splotchy.Game Time:I chose legs only because they're easy Cheetos to cover if I fail.I used 1 pump of tanner at a time onto the center of a b.tan mitt, applying in circles to the calves and thighs while avoiding joints until the mitt was only moist and no longer wet. So, main parts of a single body part first, do the joints/feet/hands/face only after the mitt is getting dry. This makes sure you don't miss areas and my research says gives a more even tan on joints.Half-time: I applied at 3pm, avoided sweating for the afternoon, daringly slept in it overnight comfortably, showered off with soap normally at 11am next morning. Some product came off on my white towel, I was happy about it because I was able to rub and slightly blend some areas that had abrupt lines where the product wasn't applied as heavy.Post-game: I haven't tried washing the towel yet, and I'll work on tanner application next time. I made sure to go higher and higher on my thighs as the mitt dried more, so the tan faded more gradual, I used circular movements but still made sure the line stopped pretty evenly like I might've been wearing a shorter swimsuit. That technique worked well.Mitt: I had to buy a separate kit, none came with this shade, I got "Tan AF" in the kit and I'll try it another time. I did a test comparison on my arm and it's more ash toned than the golden sun kissed look, I like this "Aint Nobody Got Time." shade better.

Pros
  • A great option for special events or photoshoots
Cons
  • The self-tanning process may require a considerable amount of time and effort
