Ed Hardy BLACK XXX Instant Dark Color Tanning Lotion, 13.5 oz

Smells good, helps get darker a little sooner

This stuff works used 2 times and looks like I have been taking for months.

I’ve worked in many tanning salons and I’ve used my fair share of cheap all the way to expensive luxury lotions so I like to think I have a good grasp of what works and what doesn’t!This is one of my new favorites from the Ed Hardy collection, although not new to the scene, it’s new to me!Scent: Fresh and airy with notes of clean laundry, grass and a masculine note of cologne, salt and sunscreen. With a small back note of possible coconut. It gives a fresh after odor one reminiscent of laying on the beach with a cocktail in hand.Application and Color: out of the bottle this lotion is dark with no streaks if you’re applying thoughtfully and evenly. The texture is a medium/normal consistency, not runny and not thick. I didn’t have many problems with the application or staining like some reviews state. Just be mindful that it is a bronzer and to wipe your hands off or rub in the residue on your hands like a hand lotion for even color.Skincare: I’m heavily tattooed and would definitely recommend this lotion to anyone who is covered or has a couple they would like to protect. It’s moisturizing without being too greasy to put on your face or behind. This lotion does not dry down sticky, more of a dry down clean formula!Results: I started seeing natural looking color immediately after my first session with no orange cast and intend on using it as my regular for the time being!10/10 recommend! Happy Tanning!

This product is nice, but I would never use it if I didn't have a base tan. Plus it definitely stage your hands in the short amount of time it takes for you to put it on. So I definitely would wear gloves from now on. It took a lot of scrubbing and washing and scrubbing and washing my hands to get them back to normal. It does have a nice fragrance

The Smell is awful and if you don't wash hands immediately they turn black and hard to get off. Hope it works

It works OK, but you don’t want to use it too many times in a row because then it starts patching

I am “Snow White” & started tanning a couple of months ago. I’ve used at least 4 different types/brands of lotion, & I still wasn’t getting the glow on my face that I was wanting. I want my face to match my neck. After using this lotion at least twice, maybe 3 times, I have that glow. I only tan 3 times a week to keep my glow but I am happy with these results. It does stain my hands a little or at least it shows paper cuts from my job, but I just make sure to wash them after applying & then when I’m ready to tan, I make sure I apply a little to my hands & face. There is no orange. No stains on my clothes or bed. If I have errands to do & know I’m going tanning afterwards, I’ll apply the lotion before leaving. That can range an hour or two. I do allow it to absorb a minute or two before I dress. Clothes are fine.

I’m a indoor tanner. I’m also a very pale freckled girl naturally. I could never tan outdoors, I would always burn to a crisp and peel and then right back to being super pale. I ended up getting stuck on a tanning plateau, I couldn’t get any darker. I switched tanning beds and lotions and I was still not budging in color. But I didn’t give up there, I found this lotion and tried it for the first time and noticed a difference and my husband did too. I used it for the second time in a different bed than I normally would use, and saw better results. The picture I submitted with my review is only day two of using this lotion and it really has bronzed me! Not orange at all. It’s very dark and brown. 🥰😍 it smell really nice and I didn’t experience a unpleasant smell after tanning with this either. Also keeps skin very hydrated. This is definitely my new favorite. I will be purchasing more of this! It’s affordable then most tanning lotions I’ve purchased in the past and it does exactly what it claims. Go for it!
