Tanologist Dark Self Tan Water, Clear Tanning Mist, 6.76 Fl Oz | Sunless glow, dark self tanner for face and body, spray tan, non-comedogenic, no fake tan smell

I was skeptical at first about a clear tanning water, but Tanologist Dark has officially earned a spot in my glow-up routine. It gives me that bronzed, even tan without the typical self-tanner struggles.Pros:• Streak-Free Glow: I was shocked at how even the tan developed. No orange patches, no weird buildup around knees or elbows—just a natural, deep bronze.• No Transfer: Because it’s a clear formula, it doesn’t stain sheets, clothes, or towels. HUGE win.• Lightweight & Fast-Drying: It feels like a facial mist going on—super light and dries in minutes. No sticky feeling!• Customizable Tan: You can do one layer for a glow or build it up for a darker look. I saw the full color develop in about 4–6 hours.• Vegan & Clean Ingredients: Bonus points for being cruelty-free, vegan, and free of parabens and sulfates.Cons:• No Guide Color: Since it’s clear, you do have to be a little more careful when applying—you won’t see where you’ve sprayed until it develops. I recommend using a mitt and spraying section by section.• Strong Scent at First: It has a fresh scent going on, but you can smell the DHA (that typical self-tan smell) slightly as it develops—not the worst, but noticeable.If you want a deep tan without the mess, stickiness, or drama, Tanologist’s Dark Tanning Water is a total win. Just exfoliate, mist, blend with a mitt, and let it work its magic. Glowy skin unlocked 🔓✨

UPDATE! I JUST ORDERED MY SECOND ONERIGHT AFTER MY RESULTS THE FOLLOWING MORNING !WORTH EVERY PENNY AND THE 8HOURS TO ACHEIEVE A CARRIBEAN TAN WITHOUT LEAVING YOUR HOME !!!Wow ... very easy to use as I'm new to self tanning and hate the self tan smellBarely noticeable. TO achieve my tan dark and glow is flawless ... I had to apply 4 layers within 15min intervals then , dried out for 6 8 hours before I rinsed off in shower and went to sleep woke as if I came back from a week long vacation in the carribeans!!!!One bottle ... 4 applications as I'm very fair toned , so 30% of bottle per tan which should last a week.A bit pricey , but definitely worth it !!!I don't see any orange hue .Use a mitt or your hands will be ORANGEyou don't see the tan work fully untill after the color transforms own within 6 to 8 hours then after shower rinse with mild soap and patting body dry ... results are 10/10

I adore this tanner. There is no mess going on, is has a faint pleasant smell in my opinion and it absorbs better than any lotions I have. It also gives me a great natural looking tan that doesn't start looking crackly on me like spray tans eventually do. One photo is in natural light, the other is in shade.

This is the best self tanner I've found that I can safely use on my face and applies evenly, gives a natural looking color, and doesn't have "the smell". I don't use a mitt for facial application, I just spray pretty much my whole head and neck evenly (but lighter over the hair, I'm a guy with buzzed hair and it looks weird if you don't get any color on your scalp) and just stand with my eyes closed and take a minute to center and relax (aka meditate) until it has soaked in enough to stay put. But most importantly, it doesn't make me break out.The reason this doesn't get a full five stars is because I have to deduct 1 star for the pricing. I know there are the "premium" self tanners that are absurd in their pricing by comparison, but those are for people who like to spend a lot of money on fancy looking bottles. Tanologist, on the other hand, has quickly grown to fill the "high quality but reasonably priced" market that was pretty much empty, with a few exceptions. But their product pricing has been on a steady and fast paced rise, the "Dark" tanning water spray is of particular note now clocking in at $20 when it was just $12 and change not too long ago. The body lotions now topping $13, with the former price about $10. That is far, far greater a rise than the inflation rate. Their pricing is their prerogative, indeed, but it's a tough sell for me and I've actively been looking for an alternative to fill its role.The rest of my review on the product and usage below (if you are still reading for some reason) -I'm a pretty average skin tone, maybe a little less if it's been a really long time since I've been in the sun, but I still use the "Dark" level and it looks great and you don't have to do a 2nd coat. The step down to medium is a big one and I don't find it very effective or noticeable and definitely not worth spending money on. The step down from medium to light is also a big one. You go from barely noticeable to simply not effective. But the "Dark", that's the money choice right there.While it's fine for use anywhere head or body, I find I have a hard time getting any spray to look even on my body and end up just spraying it and immediately using a mitt to smooth and blend. For this reason, I actually prefer the Tanologist "Dark" mouse version of this same product (same purple colored bottle except opaque and with a foam pump), which is usually sold along side this spray. So I pretty much use this spray exclusively as a face/head/neck misting type application and the mousse version for body/arms/legs (with a mitt, you must use a mitt or you won't like the result). The reason I get more "fan girl" over the spay water versus the mousse is because there are far less options made to be safe for the face and actually don't cause breakouts (true story - even though the term "non-comedogenic" sounds medical and official, it has no meaning to the FDA and any manufacturer for any cosmetic product can put it on the label, no matter if it's packed with pore clogging ingredients in a cocoa butter based grease. The only way to know for sure is to reference a (reputable) dermatological website that has an ingredient checking tool (I like acneclinicnyc[DOT]com because you can copy the entire ingredients list text from the product listing and paste the whole thing into their "checker" and it can do all of them at once unlike some others that are one-by-one).I still fully recommend this, for sure, but it's "value" is starting to slip. $20 is edge case for me, much more and it will move into "poor value" land and I won't be recommending it anymore. I won't discourage use, rather just take a neutral stance on it.

Doesn't leave my skin sticky and sweaty. It dries almost instantly which is good and bad cuz if you don't put enough on to spread long distances then it can be a streaky but fixable misjudgement. Smells fantastic and stays on for days very durable.

Not sure how this happened or what is happening. It all three sizes showing is 200ml. I just bought both on the left (medium and dark) and the one on the right is what I bought a few months ago. I LOVE this tanning mouses because of no streaks and the smell. But for some reason the new dark tanning mouses I got is not truly 200ml. This is truly an AMAZING product and it’s the only tanning mouse I use. I never use to use these type of things but I fell in love with tanologist.

My legs look rather white this year. I sprayed all over with this but could not find my glove to even it out. OMG when I got to the shore I am so glad it rained the first 3 days. You could see where I overlapped, it ran down my leg into my shoe. I have never seen anything so horrible before. It wasn’t the products fault, the color was amazing! I just didn’t care how I sprayed it, I thought I just did a light spray but I was rather close or closer than I thought. After I scrubbed this off, I did it right, and this was amazing! I normally use the medium first because I’m Greek. I was in a rush, remember to always follow directions!!

Very disappointed in this product. I didn't realize that it is a pump sprayer. I assumed it was a mousse like my other self tanner. W/it being a spray it is very inconsistent in how much product actually lands on your skin. I tried close/far, mitt/no mit, lotion/no lotion etc. The overspray lands everywhere. I ordered dark and applied it literally and waited 6+ hours before rinsing it off and there was a faint hint of tan that was very uneven(applied w/a mit to try to spread the product evenly) I am very disappointed w/this product. I will stick to my b.tan mousse!

This is easy to put on happy with tan. It does spell.

Best I’ve used, it’s light non smelling and tans within 2/3 hours

Schöne Farbe. Wird leider fleckig,

Ho provato la tonalità scura nonostante abbia la pelle chiara: noto che si sfuma meglio. Ha l’odore classico di autoabbronzante.

Really natural look with no orange or nasty smell like most
