Tan Asz U Strawberry Margarita Advanced 400X Bronzer (400ml)

Love the smell of this, and it doesn’t leave you greasy. I also get great color from it, and I am an avid tanner.

so good

First of all, let me just say that this is NOT a self tanning lotion. If you are looking for an instant tanner look elsewhere. Second, I’m not sure what people are expecting when putting this on after they get out of a tanning bed or get done tanning. The carrot seed oil that this moisturizer has in it enhances the glow of a tan and helps keep it from fading, but it isn’t going to make you instantly bronze. Third, this moisturizer isn't limited to just being applied after tanning. The strawberry extract, blue agave, and prickly pear are rich in antioxidants and vitamin C so they even out skin tone. The carrot seed oil also is a naturally occurring retinol. I have been using this on my hands testing out the moisturizer for this review. The moisturizer is excellent, feels hydrating, and evens out the skin tone on the top of my hands. It also smells nice, but it isn’t overpowering.

I really like this post-tanning moisturizing lotion. It is Super hydrating & smooth feeling - not greasy at all. I love the soft fruity berry smell which is light and does not last long (good for me - I'm not a perfumy girl). It works great for enhancing my tan and leaving my skin glowing but not greasy. I tan 2-3 hours a week on my deck whenever it is +10UV index in my SoCal beach town. It is NOT A SELF TANNER or bronzer. It is a tan enhancing & preserving moisturizer. You can use it as you tan in a UV bed or just under the good 'ol SUN (like me). It does not have any SPF so be sure to limit you exposure if you are fair skinned to avoid burning & future skin issues (ie: cancer or - gasp - wrinkles). OR you can use it as a post-tanning moisturizer - which is what I do. The carrot seed oil is a retinol compound that naturally enhances skin tone while the other ingredients help even out skin tone too. It is a medium thick consistency which is easy to smooth on and absorbs nicely leaving soft hydrated skin with a nice smooth tone. It has a soft subtle shimmer once applied which I love. Good value for the money & so happy with it.

So after asking AI Rufus, contrary to what super shopper mom said in her review and what the listing says, this product can be used for poolside, beach, and other outdoor tanning as well. Since I am outdoors a LOT in the summer and would LOVE to get a better tan, I ordered this hoping I could use it and was dismayed when i saw it was a tanning bed lotion, but I checked the AI Rufus and it said I could use it for outdoor tanning as well so Poolside tanning, HERE I COME!!! One note of caution: This product does NOT contain any spf which is still important even while trying to tan, so you are recommended to apply a 15-30 spf sunscreen, wait 15 minutes for that to absorb THEN apply this before tanning. Cancer is bad mm'kay? Now for my product review. Firstly, this product is filled to the RIM, you are getting a GREAT VALUE. It SMELLS GREAT! It's got this strawberry smell that is so sweet but not super strong. I absolutely love it. It's easy to apply, just rub it in. It's got a beige color in the bottle but when it goes on it's clear but has a little shimmer that i assume in a tanning bed would refract the rays around and amplify the tanning? im not really sure or if its just for pretty factor. With a decent amount of time in UV this will boost your color immensely (granted your genetics will play a factor, lets be realistic)
