Toma's Total Tan Self Tanning Lotion| Long Lasting Fake Tan | 6 Oz

I have repurchased this product a few times at least. Gives nice bronze immediately and light to medium self tan. Doesn't smell terrible. I use gloves. Can stain hands.

This product is a genuine sunless tanning lotion . I have used it for years does not stain cloths will wash out . Comes out of tube dark brown .

This is my favorite tanning lotion. I have been using it for years to give me that nice golden tan without actually sitting in the sun. I use it all year round to keep my nice glow. The best thing about this product is no orange after effect or weird fading issue. I've tried other lotions in the past like Loreal and Neurtrogena and I always turned a shade of orange or it faded in weird spots and then I just look blotchy. The product is a thick dark brown lotion of sort that spreads on very easily. The dark brown color is to check if there are any streaks that need to be blended in. I noticed that I always seem to smooth out the back of knees and with the color guide (brown color) it helps me see if I missed rubbing it in. I usually shower before I put the lotion on and scrub my body really good (or where I plan to put the lotion). Toma does have a body scrub, but you can use any body scrub. The best result is use a body scrub with no lotion or moisture additives. I feel like when my skin is dry, it soaks up the tanning lotion better. I put this on at night and wear loose sleeping pants and a big shirt (this is so none of the color guide will get on my sheets). I wake up in the morning and I'm tan. I usually shower again just to rinse off the color guide so it doesn't get on any of my clothes. You'll see it come off in the shower, but it doesn't take off your tan. If you want to be darker you can re-apply it. I usually only do that the next day since I like setting my tan in while I sleep. This is a great product and the tan lasts about 7 days. It also depends on how many times you've applied it and how dark you like to be. I usually will apply it two days in a row to get to the color I like. I will keep purchasing this product for as long as I can and as long as it's available. I love it!!!

I have used this self tanner for years. The application is easy. It goes on without streaking. The color is a beautiful, natural, golden, caramel tan. Almost everyone thinks I've been laying in the sun. I gave it 4 stars because I wish it penetrated deeper into the skin so it would stay on after showering.

Kylie helped! If you watch the 2nd video accompanying this product she gives great advice. So, I took her advice and customized for optimal results. I’m 73 and have no desire to emphasize my wrinkles anywhere. I moisturized first, paying special attention to knees, elbows and other wrinkly areas per Kylie‘s video. When I saw how dark brown this tanning lotion is, I decided on an abundance of caution. I’m going to a wedding on July 4 I don’t want any ugly mess ups! I felt as though I would have more control using the gloves rather than any other applicator. I used equal-sized dollops of body lotion and tanning lotion mixing both together well using the black gloves. I did this by using motions as if I were ringing my hands together. I applied the mix to both legs from above the ankle to below the knee and rubbed it in well. Using the back of my gloved hand, I smoothed a little over my feet and knees. I skipped my foot where it meets my ankles because there are already wrinkles there. I applied a bit, just smoothing some from the back of the glove across my forward foot area and barely touched my toes. Wrinkles in the joints right! Rubbed all that in. Next came the arms where I did pretty much the same thing using the majority on the front of the glove for my lower arms and just a bit of what was on the back of a glove for my wrists and elbows. I applied a thinner layer to my chest area and shoulders. I put nothing on my neck since it is wrinkly, and a bit darker. Also, I didn’t apply any to my face during this trial application. Everything came out great. Next day, did the same thing legs, arms and chest and shoulders. I just used about a 2/3 ratio this time. All good. OK OK This morning are used more tanning lotion with just a little bit of moisturizing lotion. This time, when there was not very much at all left on the gloves, I did my face. All is great! One more application like this morning’s tomorrow morning and I’ll be practically perfect!!! I would definitely mix moisturizing lotion with this tanning lotion since spread some more evenly and you can “tan” step by step. PS. Yes, This tanning lotion smells. It’s not horrific but it’s certainly not good. Mixing it with body lotion helps that and since this works so well I’ll deal with the smell. Just use a time when I’m not going out.

I used to use this brand of tanning lotion years and years ago. I was going on a caribbean cruise and thought I would try it out again. It goes on easily and I like the color guide but it doesn't seem to be as good as the original. I had to use two applications and it seemed to be a little orange. I also felt like I had to use more this time than I did with the old formula. I only used it twice and it seems like it is more than halfway gone. I also wish it still came with a pre scrub like the original did. It seemed to make it go on easier and more even. Overall it was okay.

I've used this for years. Goes on evenly and looks natural.

I loved this sunless tan back when it was Toma’s Tan Perfect. It’s easy to apply, I use a mitt. The color guide that washes off is the main reason why I started using it. It shows exactly where it goes with no streaking. It dries pretty quick and the smell isn’t bad (but not great) but it doesn’t linger. Idk why anyone would buy a more expensive sunless tan honestly. This lotion is tried & true. Highly recommended
