Self-Tanning Water

Been using this product for three years. (The pictures are after using Dark, one time, and I am PALE/FAIR) The lighting makes it look orange, it is NOT ORANGE, it is very natural. i included an outside photo to show. This is my favorite way to tan and I have used A LOT of products. It does NOT get on your clothes really and you do not need to wash it off.... but I have found you should after 8 hours or it over develops and will rub off onto your clothes and smell! But it always washes out of my clothes. I wanted to share how I do it though and my TIPS. Exfoliate and shower before, I usually do it the day before and tan the day after (also because you don't want your wet hair messing with your tan) Use a mitt! Always, with any tanning product! I would suggest moisturizing your feet before starting. I start there, but you don't need a lot on your feet. I usually spray on the mitt and rub in (about three sprays each time, but only like one or two for both your feet!) And I work my way up my body. Make sure to get in between your toes and BLEND. It is clear so just rub and blend, rub and blend! Once you have covered everything, I use what is left on the mitt to DO MY FACE & HANDS! Don't go over an area you have already done. (For example, if you did your legs and are doing your arms, don't go back to rub your legs more) When I am done, I wipe my HANDS on a DRY towel and do not wet them! Just wipe them real good, especially the palms! As long as you have enough saturation but not wet or dripping and you don't go over areas you have previously done, it shouldn't be streaky. I do it before bed and wake up tan! Then repeat as desired. Takes me under 10 minutes to do my whole body before bed. I do it 1-2 times a week to maintain it. ALSO, to keep my face the same color as my body I use the tanning drops they sell too. One drop into my normal moisturizer and I apply it to my face like normal, everyday. Hope this helped! (EDIT: Been using 5 years now. I got their spray bottle, sold separately, and it holds an entire bottle of spray tan and the mister is better, highly recommend. Also don't practice fake tanning when you're not used to it and have go somewhere important. It's easy for your hands to look streaky if you wash your hands after or while its developing, its easy for your feet to look patchy as dry skin collects there, a good tan is a learning curve. I personally have a full length pant nighty and long sleeve shirt that I use to sleep in on fake tan nights and I love it, just to prevent the smell from getting on my bed. No one knows I fake tan because it does not look orange or fake but I do look tan and it is buildable and pretty. Once I wash off the smell/tan really well in the morning, (even though you can't see it on) It will not stain your clothes or anything like that)

I've officially found my holy grail of self-tanners. The Isle of Paradise Self-Tanning Water is everything I wanted in a tanning product and easy to use, lightweight, and best of all, no weird orange streaks. I use the medium shade, and it gives me a gorgeous, natural-looking glow that makes it look like I just got back from a weekend at the beach. Application is a breeze: just spritz, blend with a mitt, and wait. It dries fast and doesn’t feel sticky, so I don’t have to awkwardly air-dry like a mannequin for 30 minutes. The scent is light and fresh and not that overpowering self-tanner smell I’ve come to expect from other brands. I love that it hydrates my skin too. It feels more like skincare than a tanning product. My skin feels soft, and the color lasts a solid 5–6 days before fading evenly. No patchy spots, no drama. If you're looking for a glow-up without risking UV damage, this is it. Just remember to exfoliate and moisturize dry spots (knees, elbows, ankles) before applying. You’ll thank me later.

The spray smells lovely! It’s a fresh and clean scent. However, this product will leave you with a bit of the typical self-tanner fragrance once it’s activated on your skin. Not as bad as other products, but it’s there. The spritz works great on legs, chest, fronts of arms, tummy, etc. but can be tricky for backs of your arms, back, face, neck, and other hard-to-reach places as it doesn’t spray upside down and I’m not a contortionist. A continuous-spray nozzle would be a major upgrade. I LOVE that it doesn’t leave an orangey-brown trail of destruction since the product is clear. I DON’T love that without the tint, you can’t see where the product may have streaked, run, or gotten missed. Apparently it dripped down my feet during my first application and I looked like I was walking around covered in dried blood for 4+ days. WASH YOUR HANDS AND FEET after spraying — and definitely use a mitt to blend! Other than that, the color is natural and pleasant. I prefer this over other sunless tanning products and would recommend it.

I consider myself to be an experienced/expert sunless tanner. Like most millennials, I spent a big majority of my 20’s in a tanning salon attempting to get the deepest bronze color. I have tried dozens of sunless at home tanners ranging from foams, gradual lotions and gels but this “tanning water” from Isle of Paradise is definitely my favorite. The scent is very clean and refreshing, reminiscent of bath and body works cucumber melon spray. I notice almost no faux tan smell even 24 hours after application. The water applies clear and dries almost instantly with no tacky feeling. I can apply this and be dressed in less than 5 minutes. Since the water is colorless, you can actually apply it with bare hands just don’t forget to thoroughly wash your palms when done. I personally like using a reusable velour tanning mitt to apply it. I spray the tanning water directly onto my skin until it’s saturated & then buff the water in with circular motions. A little trick I’ve found is to use a hair dryer on the cool setting to help swiftly dry after application. The color result is very natural & not streaky. I’ve also experimented with mixing the tanning water with a body lotion (applying lotion to my hand, spraying the tanning water into it and then applying it in circular motions) & it also gives great results. Another thing worth mentioning is that this fades really beautifully and does not give those lines of demarcation that is pretty telltale for sunless tan. Isle of Paradise also sells an eco friendly, refill bag of the tanning water at a great price that you can use to refill the plastic bottle when it’s empty. I will be repurchasing again soon!

I bought this for my recent travel to Greece. I have used the mouse self-tanners in the past but knew that I would not have time on this trip for a night of touch-up with a mouse self-tanner. I wanted something that I could quickly apply and then not worry about. This one worked great for travel. The spray bottle makes it so easy to apply quickly and since it is a clear solution it goes on quick and dries fast. I would not recommend a clear solution to someone who is pretty new to self tanning since it can be kinda tricky knowing how much to spray on and how to rub it in. But if you have been self tanning for awhile you have a pretty good idea of how to do it and should be fine. This tan worked well with applying more on top of it as needed. I will say it is not the most natural-looking tan as I have seen with some of the mouse self-tanners but it still looked great. I would definitely recommend this for anyone going on a trip and being in the water a lot and needing to touch up their fake tan.

I’ve experimented with several self Tanners over the last two years including the foam like from Isle of Paradise. I personally like the foam line better than the spray. The nice thing about the spray is that it goes on very easily, the color is nice overall, and it does not leave you with that weird tan smell at all, even the next day. Just be sure to spray it on the mitt, otherwise you will end up with very dark feet bottoms! But because there’s no color guide, I occasionally miss spots and it’s hard to ensure even application, especially on my back, hands and feet. My main complaint with the spray is that it does not fade as evenly as the foam. It takes about 10 days to fully go away and fades in patches, whereas the foam fades more subtly and consistently. I will be going back to the foam once I finish this bottle.

I get plenty of sun on my arms while driving and walking around, but my legs do not, as I always wear long pants, except when I go to the gym, hence the reason I decided to try this stuff out. my legs are extremely pale white normally. I watched a lot of videos and read other comments, glad I did. I'll make it simple. Before applying this stuff, 1) While taking a shower, use an exfoliating glove or sponge, remove dead skin on areas you intend to apply this. 2)Dry off, apply moisturizer on your hands and/or areas you do not want to be tanned. 3) Spray the tanning water liberally and evenly the area you want the tan, avoid drip lines. 4)Use tanning gloves or cloth, to evenly (important) spread the liquid over your skin. 5)Let dry, was your hands and any areas on your body you did not want to get tanned immediately. You will not see any color right away, I do this about an hour or two before bed, and when I wake up, I have a nice golden tan. 1 application is enough for me, and last about a week.

Great color and easy to use. Prefer it more than my tanologist brand spray

I love this product. It gives me a really natural tan, nothing orange or fake looking, and I’ve actually noticed my skin feels better too, probably because of the hyaluronic acid. I apply it with the Bondi Sands self-tanning mitt and it goes on so evenly, no streaks, just a really smooth finish.

This is a fake product

Great product! Don’t get greedy - if you are pale maybe go for the light one or you’ll get Oompa Loompa vibes. I did that. It is still manageable, not too orange, but next buy will be light. Also GET THE BRUSH! Do not do this with your palms and please do not do it with a tanning mitt. I did it with a tanning mitt first time and you get streaks! With the brush it goes on so smooth!

Fantastic product no streaks and over spray

Suggest you spray it on your hands then apply to your face. Great product. No orange tones.
