Good selftan., February 19, 2009
This review is from: SheerTan Sunless Tanning Wand and Tanning Spray - Self-Tanning at home for your perfect indoor tan. Starter Set includes one wand and one aerosol (Health and Beauty)
I use selftan all the time and this time I was attracted by the wand. It`s really useful, I can finally apply selftan to my back without help or doing gymnastics. Here`s what I like:
- the wand is awesome and easy to use,
- the spray is great; very light and clear,
- tan came out even and really natural (for more dramatic results I can reapply the next day), last long and fades gradually,
- the fragrance is not overpowering, although next day in the morning I recognized this specific selftan smell (not strong, it`s shower time anyway).
One can last about 4 full body applications.
When I compare the whole experience to mystic tan SheerTan wins-it doesn`t smell, leaves clothes clean, not expensive, I don`t have to drive to tan salon.
For airplane travelling, when I take carry on only I love Tan Towel Toweletts, another winner! For beautiful glow and instant results I love Lancome self bronzer Medium Colour Oil-Free Tinted Self-Tanning Lotion for Face (all Lancomes selftan products are great). For one application dark color, no strikes and smooth skin I adore L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Gel Medium-Deep. Those my top products after few years of trying and searching.
Overall I like SheerTan a lot, but I`m gonna also use other products, depends what results I need, how much time I have etc.

The BEST sunless tanning product on the market today!, August 18, 2009
This review is from: SheerTan Sunless Tanning Wand and Tanning Spray - Self-Tanning at home for your perfect indoor tan. Starter Set includes one wand and one aerosol (Health and Beauty)
Every summer since I can remember, I've been self-conscious about my white legs - there was even taunting when I was in grade school, so my quest for the perfect self-tanning product to cover my porcelain pins began young. Over the years, I've used every type of sunless tanning product starting with that orangy Avon lotion in the early 1980s; I've utilized tanning booths and gave up after thirteen sessions and only a burn to show for it; and I've booth spray tanned and airbrush spray tanned with "professionals", but how often do you want to shell out $50-$80 for four days of being tan? It gets really spendy, really fast.
And then I stumbled on SheerTan. I think the Gods of Sunless Tanning were smiling on me that day. SheerTan satisfied every qualification that I was looking for in a sunless tanner: it's easy to apply, it lasts for three days before you need to shave your legs/exfoliate and reapply, and it gives me realistic colour. You also get MANY applications with SheerTan. Only using the product on my full legs, I get 15 applications out of one can. That's less than $1 per application! To me, it would be a bargain at twice the price.
If I can pass along a tip, one thing I learned early on is that using a thick, emollient body lotion to apply the product only helps you "rub it off" instead of "rubbing it in". I'm a fan of Bath & BodyWorks' Coconut Lime Verbena Body Lotion (not Body Cream)- it smells like a Hawaiian vacation. Yummo!
Bath & Body Works Pleasures Coconut Lime Verbena Body Lotion, 8 fl. oz. (236 ml)
To wrap up this review, if you're looking for a natural tan that's affordable, easy to apply, gives consistent colour and will fool your friends, just buy SheerTan. You won't be disappointed. I know I'm glad my quest for the perfect self tanning product is over.

Really great stuff, especially if you follow the directions, July 7, 2009
This review is from: SheerTan Sunless Tanning Wand and Tanning Spray - Self-Tanning at home for your perfect indoor tan. Starter Set includes one wand and one aerosol (Health and Beauty)
Let me say that I put the first layer on somewhat cautiously, and followed their instructions. I waited about 5 hours and I felt like I could see just a slight change, but really not too much going on. I decided to apply a second coat and hope that it would do something.
Next morning... wow was I tan. In retrospect, I wish I had waited out the night for the first coat, because I think it would have looked amazing and not too "wow you're suddenly dark." Also, in the 1 or 2 of the spots where I got lazy and didn't apply the lotion (back of right ankle) I can see the streakiness but everywhere else looks really amazing.
The other thing I did was apply a thick, cream moisturizer to my palms and fingernails from the beginning. I wish I had done this to my feet as well, because my hands look fine, but the toenails/feet bottoms are a bit yellow and frightening.
So, bottom line, follow the instructions because they are really good. And be a little patient for it to develop.
