Light olive toned Mediterranean girlies… I think I found the one 😭
hiii!! I am an avid self tanner. For context I started during covid with gradual tanner… then St. Tropez medium and have tried MANY since. I went from St. Tropez dark and Bali Body ultra dark to mostly using express tans because I like having more control over the color. For years I mainly used Bali Body, Loving Tan 2 HR Express, and b. tan darkest tan possible.
I have light olive skin, green eyes, black hair and a Mediterranean complexion. Most tanners look fine on me, but don’t compliment my eyes.
Lately, I’ve been using the Tanologist Express Extra Dark mousse (purple bottle) and wow I’m so impressed. It’s affordable, develops SO evenly, lasts well over a week, and fades better than literally any tan I’ve tried before. It also works fluidly with my skin tone to bring out my eyes!!!
My tan is deep the same day and honestly I like the color even more than Loving Tan (which I wore and loved for my wedding day, but can’t justify the price on a weekly basis… special occasions only 😭)
I’ve used it 3 times now including on vacation and didn’t even need gradual tanning lotion in between which NEVER happens for me? Even with the coveted amazing loving tan !! I leave it on for about 2 hours and the fade is sooo nice.
Only thing is definitely be careful with your hands because it develops FAST there. I always use an aquaphor type ointment on my knees, elbows, hands, toes, blemishes, open wounds/scabs, or anywhere I don’t want the tanner to grab too hard.
