Review: Great tanning product - I'm on my second bottle of this stuff. It's great, just use like a moisturiser and you get a lovely golden/ natural looking tan. No orange at all. It doesn't take too long to develop and can easily be topped up. It's quite pricey so I wait for the sale but definitely worth it. After a while there's a slight 'biscuit' smell so beware of that but it's not overly bad! Love this brand even bought their face tanning drops and they are excellent as well. Highly recommend as it's so easy to apply and never any streaking.. Review: Great tanning lotion - This is a great gradual tanning lotion. I put on with a tanning mist after noticing my palms were starting to take on the tan. Tanned at night on alternative days, dry within minutes, no residue on clothing or bedding or unpleasant smell. Built the tan up over 2 weeks before heading on holiday. Good natural colour and would recommend and buy again. ## Features - Tan Luxe The Gradual Tan Lotion, is a lotion and oil hybrid which gives a natural, bronzed look in just one hour. - Suitable for use on both the face and body, this luxurious, odour-free, self-tanning lotion gets to work instantly, smoothing, nourishing and toning skin. - Lightweight, fast-absorbing formula, streak free and quick developing. - Tan Luxe The Gradual Tan Lotion can be applied daily or as desired, to build a tailor-made tan bespoke to your skin tone and personal preferences. - Apply to the skin as you would a normal body moisturiser, lightly covering hands, elbows and feet.

I didn't like how the smell developed, but it went on okay. **Q: Does it wash off when you bath** A: No, it does not wash off. You put the lotion on and leave it on for a few hours (I leave it overnight) and it develops a really beautiful golden tan colour. It does not come off on your sheets either and it lasts a long time. It also wears off very well and not patchy. I love this stuff! **Q: Once opened, what is the expiry time please.** A: I have opened it one summer and used it again the following year and it was still good. Just keep it sealed tightly ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tanning product *by K***A on 27 February 2026* I'm on my second bottle of this stuff.
