Review: You can literally get very tan overnight! - I finally gave up tanning beds a few months ago, and since then I've been using this self tanner. It is probably the closest thing you can get to a real tan without the skin cancer, and the cheapest too. I have a light/medium skin tone. At first I used the medium color, but switched over to the dark color after about a month. I didn't really find that the medium color was more orange than the dark as other people have said. I do like the dark color though because it gets you a darker tan faster. The best thing about this tanner is that you can get a pretty dark tan with just one application. My goal is to use this all the time so I am always tan, but I'm a slacker and I skip it a lot, especially since it is winter, and let's face it, you're mostly covered up anyway. But if the temps are suddenly warmer or I want to wear a low-cut top, I just apply this at night before I go to sleep and I'm good to go the next day. After two applications I consider myself at my "goal" level of tan. You do have a tendency to get blotchy/fade unevenly if you use this over and over without letting it fade some in between. What I do is I use an exfoliating body wash the day I'm going to use the tanner, and then until I use it again I use a moisturizing body wash. I can get by using it about every third day to keep up the color I want. If I don't use it at all after about a week the color is about completely gone. (Not bad, I think.) The way I apply it is like this: I put it on in my bathroom right in front of my sink and have a small clock in front of me. I apply it in five minute intervals, meaning I keep my eye on the clock and after five minutes I wash my hands, scrub them a little with a wet wash cloth, dry them, and then start the next five minutes of applying the tanner working my way from my feet on up, and then do my arms and hands last. After everything but my hands are done, I wash them one more time. Then I use those little cotton pads (the flat ones, not the puffy ones. You can get them at WalMart.) and squirt a little tanner on one and apply it to the back of one hand. Then I use a second cotton pad to do the other hand. I still find that my palms are slightly tanned, even after taking these precautions, but I just deal with it. I usually apply it at night so that way in the morning it will have been several hours and okay to take a shower. I also wear loose, dark clothing to sleep in. I advise planning out your applications so that you don't have the lotion on while exercising or any other vigorous activity. (Even if it's been several hours since you applied it, it tends to make you sweatier and it's just gross.) The tanner does have that tanner smell to it unfortunately, but it's not very noticeable. It is tinted a little bit so you're supposed to be able to tell where it's applied, but it's very hard to tell the difference sometimes. I also wanted to point out that I do not use this on my face. I use the medium/dark Jergens face self-tanner. It is very subtle but if you use it daily or at least every day, it gives a nice tan to the face that is good enough to match the rest of your tan. For the price, you really can't beat this self-tanner. ## Features - SELF ADJUSTING COLOR FORMULA lets you CONTROL THE SHADE OF YOUR TAN–The more often you apply, the deeper your tan will become - OIL-FREE and contains ALOE VERA and VITAMIN E - STREAK FREE dark tanning lotion provides a natural-looking tan - FOR ALL SKIN TONES–Self tanner lotion provides a radiant, deep summer tan - FREE FROM–Banana Boat self tanning lotion is made without oxybenzone or octinoxate ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001G7PPNI | | Best Sellers Rank | #45,344 in Beauty & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Beauty & Personal Care ) #141 in Body Self-Tanners | | Brand | Banana Boat | | Brand Name | Banana Boat | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 2,315 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00079656007817 | | Item Form | Lotion | | Item Weight | 1.1 pounds | | Manufacturer | Edgewell Personal Care | | Manufacturer Part Number | JIT-ON-PH26688 | | Material Features | Oil Free | | Material Type Free | Oil Free | | Model Number | JIT-ON-PH26688 | | Number of Items | 3 | | Package Size Name | Pack of 3 | | Product Benefits | Radiant | | Size | 6 Ounce (Pack of 3) | | Skin Tone | Dark | | Skin Type | All | | UPC | 079656007817 | | Unit Count | 18 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Banana Boat - **Item Form:** Lotion - **Material Type Free:** Oil Free - **Product Benefits:** Radiant - **Skin Type:** All ## Images ![Summer Color Self Tanning Lotion, 6oz | Self Tanner, Deep Dark Color for All Skin Tones, Gradual Tanning Lotion, Sunless Tanner, 6oz (Pack of 3) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71PZiq7-TAL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: is there any glitter in this formula? i currently use l'oreal sublime bronze and love it, but i want something i can wear a little more discreetly without all of the glitter and shimmer.** A: No glitter or shimmer, just a nice even tan color. **Q: does the color come off from sweating after you wash off the color guide??** A: There is nothing to wash off. You put it on your skin and leave it for at least 4 hours, then it is safe to sweat, but if you have light-colored clothes on top of the application, it will stain (although this comes off in the wash). If you are going to shower, I would leave it on maybe 8 hours first, then it would be more likely to be safe with light colored clothing. If your reapply every day, it will get darker and last. It's great on the face and neck and body. I find the legs a little difficult, may take more than one application to get it right, avoid the knees or any dry joint areas. Best plan IMO is to put on at night after a shower, let it air dry for as long as possible, and then go to sleep. In the morning, a very light sponge off of any extra, and you should be good to go for sweating. Use dark sheets on your bed though. I've been using for years, and it is still the best one I've found at good price. Hope they never stop making. **Q: Is this tinted?** A: No, this formulation is not the former tinted Summer Color lotion product. **Q: Did the product change? use to come out brown. i have order from 2 different places and came out white. i thought it was fake so i returned 1st order.** A: It comes out white and is the best tanning cream, my skin is hydrated and silky smooth for days on top of a great color. The tan fades in 4-5 days if you don’t use it a couple times a week. Get it, you will love it.... ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Great Value For Your Money *by S***T on July 7, 2026* I Highly Recommend this 3-Pack of Banana Boat Self -Tanning Spray.

I had purchased this after reading such great reviews because I have had bad experiences with other products in the past. I've used Tan Towels, Loreal Wipes, Neutrogena, Jergens, Versa Spa spray tans...nothing has given me as nice of a color as this. Even my boyfriend said how great this one product looked - he was always quick to mention how orange everything else made me look. If I had not read other reviews, I may have purchased the Light to Medium tint as well thinking the dark would be too much. However, this was the perfect shade. I made sure I showered immediately before applying the product, which is something I think everyone should pay close attention to. In the past, this was something I had not done and I believe this has a lot to do with flawed results. The oils in your skin will prevent the product from absorbing evenly and thoroughly. Also, the dead skin you had will only come off the next time you shower, and your tan will not last as long. I am not a fan of the tint the product has as a guide so you can see where you've applied it. I find this unnecessary and just messy, however, this is not something that would take away a star in my opinion because the end result is just too great. I had absolutely no streaks...because I have been busy and working a lot, I have not done another application and the tan is fading evenly, as opposed to other products I have used in the past. Like all sunless tanners, it has the same smell, however, after you shower the next morning, you shouldn't notice this anymore. After my first application, I stayed up about four hours, and then did a quick rinse and shower before bed so that the product would not over-develop. I also didn't want the guide to get all over my bedsheets, including the smell. So as a quick guide to my tips: 1) Shower immediately before use, using an exfoliating body wash. 2) Apply the product thoroughly and take your time, making sure all areas get rubbed in. 3) I suggest only taking a wet wash cloth and washing the palms of your hands only. I had washed the entirety of my hands and found the shade a little light on the tops of my hands. I suggest just going light on the tops and making sure your palms are free of tanner. 4) I stayed up for about 4 hours before bed, and just watched tv in a towel so that I wasn't wearing tight clothing to rub the lotion in any areas and ruin the evenness of my tan. 5) Before bed, about 4 hours after application, I did a quick body shower to rinse off the color guide from the application. The color still did continue to develop a little more while I slept, and then I took another shower in the morning. I had a great tan after one application.
