Isle of Paradise Self Tanning Drops - Color Correcting Self Tan Drops for Gradual Glow, Vegan and Cruelty Free, 1.01 Fl Oz

This is a fabulous product. Anyone looking for a nice looking tan, look no further. This can be added to any lotion or moisturizer. Gloves are not needed. Just make sure to wash hands after with soap & water. It is super easy to use and my skin also feels soft. There is a slight smell - to me it smells like cucumbers, which is pleasant enough for me. You only need to apply to each area once. IE: whole arm, leg, torso, etc. I fill the dropper completely and add to the lotion in my hand. Be especially careful with feet. They don’t need much to have color and can so easily look orange. I do not use the whole dropper on my feet. I would put lotion or Vaseline around toenails to keep the cuticles from getting flooded with tanner and looking weird. I have found that applying twice a week is plenty. At first, I do 2 days in a row and if I like the color I wait two days before I apply again. Then I wait three days to apply again. It doesn’t seem to get on my clothes. It looks like a natural golden tan. I love it and use it on my face and entire body. It is a little bit sticky feeling, especially in the arm pits and where the arm bends. But it doesn’t last a super long time. I put it on in the morning usually. After several hours I notice the color. And at the end of the day I am amazed at how much color I have from just a little product. And I love that I can add to my lotion. It is a little pricey, but if you want to have a nice and natural tan, it’s cheaper than going to a spray on tan place. And the fact that it doesn’t turn my hands orange is awesome. I think a bottle could last a month, but if you apply several times a week, you may need a bottle and a half. So happy with this product. I already ordered more. And I will continue to use it, even in the winter months. It’s so nice to look tan.

I LOVE this product! I don’t think I can ever go back to any of my other tanning products after this one, and here’s why: 1. Scent. It smells really nice. Every single other tanning product I have used has a scent that I do not enjoy. IYKYK, they all just have “that” weird smell. Well, not this one. It actually smells good. 2. Moisturizing. You HAVE to mix this with a moisturizer because the actual product is a concentrated liquid (the directions even tell you it cannot be applied to skin directly without mixing with a moisturizer). Don’t know about y’all, but I always find other tanning products (especially mouse ones) to feel quite drying. Especially if you are using this on your face, I really like that it can be applied like a moisturizer. 3. There’s no color guard. Now, this might be a negative for some people, because most tanning products have a color guard added to them so that you can see how it is blending into your skin. Personally, I don’t like that. It just always feels icky and I hate that it transfers to clothes, sheets, etc. As you can probably see from the photos, this product is basically clear. No transferring of orange anywhere, and you don’t have to wash off anything like you do with one’s that have the color guard. 4. Customizable. As per the directions, you have to mix every 1/2 teaspoon of moisturizer with between 6-12 drops of tanner. I really like this because it means you can control how tan you want to be. More drops = darker tan. This is also really nice if you are applying to your face/neck and just want a very subtle glow. 5. Looks really nice on olive-toned skin. I have very olive skin (green-looking veins/green undertone). This tanner has more of an orange undertone, witch balances out my natural tanned skin really nicely.

I'd probably give it a little under a 4 but I rounded up. I don't even remember how I came across this but for some reason I got convinced to try it out. Here's what I think: Pros: 1. Customizable. You can decided how many drops you want to use. That means you'll have to experiment a bit to find your ideal amount but I really like being able to have some control over how dark or light it is. Start off low! I'm serious when I say start off using 4-5 drops. That provided more than enough color for me. 2. It fades nicely. I work out a lot so it's important that all the sweating doesn't cause weird splotching. That's happened with other products but not with this. UPDATE: It's actually been fading weird at the ankles. I scrub my ankles hard to try to get rid of that. Definitely cant use this on your feet and expect to wear heels. It's too obvious and I learned that the hard way. I use my mousse for that. Cons: 1. The smell. A distinct tanning smell. I really don't like it, but my b/f hasn't said anything yet so idk if he notices. I have been using St. Moriz for years and love that it has a very subtle smell. Just not the same with this. 2. Can't see it. That's generally not a problem since you're mixing it with a lotion. However, I have missed spots thinking I applied the lotion fully but didn't and then it becomes a very visible mistake. So you've got to pay attention and be thorough when apply this 3. Leaks on planes. I've been having issues with this when traveling. I'll screw the lid on tightly but product will leak out. I recommend placing it in it's own little bag within your liquid bag so it doesn't get everywhere. I had a big issue with this the first time I flew. It got all over in my liquid bag. Luckily because it's a strong smell, I realized it leaked. However, when I was cleaning everything out I got some on me. I thought I washed my hands thoroughly but I missed some spots around my wrists and forearm and visible dark spots for days. Overall, I do like using this product but it makes me nervous. I haven't used it on my face yet because I am worried about missing a spot and having it be super visible. Right now I continue to use St. Moriz on my upper body and use these drops on torso and legs since those spots are less visible. The two products match very closely in color so that's not a problem. UPDATE: It hasn't been going well around my ankles and feet so I am not going to bother trying around my face and hands. Too worried about it

I always come back to this brand and product because of how well it goes on. Will continue buying!

GREAT FOR THE BODY, too!! This is my second purchase of these drops. I love them and here is why: it takes very few drops mixed with your moisturizer to obtain a natural tan. Because these are to be mixed with moisturizer and then applied, there are few to zero streaks. The bonus? These can be mixed with your body cream or lotion and be used that way too! 5 drops into my body cream covered one leg. For my whole body I think I used a total of 20 drops. I used a tanning brush to smooth it in and I woke up with a gorgeous, natural looking tan! It also lasted and can be repeated a couple of times a week. So much easier to apply these than using a big tanning bottle of cream or foam and finally no worries about streaks or uneven application. Just take your time making sure that your cream is evenly spread on your skin. Yes, some will rinse off after showering or washing your face, but plenty of color remains. This is it for me, and I can no longer see ever buying any other tanning product again. They have a good thing going with these drops and I hope that in the future they will figure out that these are just as great for the body and make a larger bottle. No need to purchase the “tanning water” separately for the body. These drops do it all.

Pros: 1. Easy to use and doesn't stain clothing or bedding as long as you wait about 20 minutes while naked before touching fabrics. However, it will stain your hands so you must wear gloves. Pro tip: apply plain lotion to the wrists and heal of your palms before putting gloves on. This will saturate your skin with lotion to prevent the drop's pigment from staining the skin where the glove's edge ends on your wrists. 2. Does work and color is accurate as far as a natural tan goes and not being orange at all. It is not immediate however, and I found it to take at least 4 hours to show any tan. 3. No smell, or really faint smell on skin, once mixed with body lotion and applied. This is a huge plus, as other pigmented self tanners all have a distinct smell that is hard to remove without also removing the desired tan. Cons: 1. The instructions do not advise ratio of lotion to drops. This is confusing to say the least since there is absolutely no reference on how many drops will produce however much color. I am a freckled caucasian with a very pale yellowish skin tone. I tan easily in sun. I live in Hawaii, although I don't go in the sun so I am not tan at all. In order to get even a slightly noticeable tan (USING THEIR DARK DROPS!) I had to use 8-12 drops per 2-3 small pumps of lotion. To give you a better idea of that ratio per body part....I pumped 2 small pumps the size of a nickel for each of my lower legs (under knee to feet) and added 8 drops, producing a barely noticeable tan. next attempt I used 12 drops with a better tan result. For the knee up to area where hem of underwear line would be, I pumped three pumps of lotion and added 12 drops for a better tan result. 2. I was only able to maintain a tan for about 8-10 days using this formula before the bottle was empty. I feel the cost/value isn't worth it for this product. At this rate, it wold cost me around $60 per month to maintain a tan. I am going back to my pigmented foaming self tanner. I recommend Skinerals ONYX EXTRA DARK sunless tanning mousse.

I've never used self-tanner before so I wanted to start off with something that was dummy proof (well, as dummy proof as possible) and I definitely don't regret it! I've ordered this product (the dark version) 2x from Amazon and the first time I was nervous given the mixed reviews and photos of damaged bottles. The product arrived intact and it's SO easy to use. I mixed it with my Cetaphil daily moisturizer and applied using tanning mitts. For those struggling to successfully use this, here are some of my tips: 1. Start off with clean, shaven (if applicable), exfoliated, dry skin! Exfoliate like you're an Iguana shedding your skin and once you're done, do it again. Make sure you shave and exfoliate one more time before hopping out of the shower. I also like to do a peel on my face to make sure there are no dry spots before continuing. 2. Dry off and moisturize your Knees, Elbows, Ankles, Wrists, Toes and anywhere else you may have dry skin. The driest parts of your body will absorb more color than the rest of your body, so make sure you cover those areas and let the moisturizer absorb before continuing. 3. Get your mitt(s) ready and begin applying! - I personally use a tiny mitt for my face, a mitt/glove for my body, and a longer microfiber 'mitt' (it's not a mitt, it's flat and it's meant just for this) for my back. Depending on your size and the area that you're looking to cover, you'll need more or less drops. I like to use 2-4 drops for my face and I make sure to blend it with my facial moisturizer before applying it. I take extra care to blend with my hairline. For my body, I use 4-6 drops per body part mixed with 3 pumps of moisturizer and blend blend blend! 4. Go to sleep and wake up tan! The product fades in 3-4 days in my experience and if you're ready to remove it, just go ahead and exfoliate and you're back to a blank slate. For those experiencing patchiness, it's due to dry skin. Just exfoliate, rinse, and repeat the steps above! Love this product and will be ordering the tanning water to supplement as well.

I have a light to medium skin tone, and I purchased the dark drops. I use 12 drops to achieve the desired effect. I recommend a skin test such as a dot on your inner wrist to determine the desired drops. Fair skin i would start with 3-4 drops and fair medium 6-8 drops. I have a small container where I mix these 12 drops with enough moisturizer to cover my face and neck. I use a Q-tip to blend the drops and moisturizer together. I start applying the mixture at my forehead, using small circular motions, and then work my way down to my neck, making sure to cover both the front and back. I even lightly apply it over my ears. Personally, I don’t apply it before bed; I prefer to use it at the start of my day. It will take about 6 hours to see the full effect. Take your time while blending, or you may end up with streaks. The drops do not leave an orange tint but instead provide a natural-looking tone. Will purchase again :)

Laisse des traces, sinon pas de mauvaises odeurs.

Man muss WIRKLICH aufpassen, dass man nicht zu viel nimmt. Dann sieht es schrecklich aus. Aber bei sparsamer Dosierung gibt es ein wunderschönes, leicht gebräunten Ergebnis. Und es ist der erste selbstbräuner, bei dem ich bei der Anwendung im gesucht keine Unreinheiten bekomme

These drops work great. You are able to build a tan and control your darkness. Very natural looking and easy to use.

Au top, je l'utilise le soir après le démaquillage ou en journée avant le maquillage, on peut choisir l'intensité en fonction du nombre de gouttes, permet de rajouter un peu d'intensité en fonction des jours ou de vraiment intensifier le lendemain. Exactement ce que je recherchais. Zéro trace si bien étalé

So viel schon probiert, aber das zeutist der Hammer. Zumindest wenn man das fürs Gesicht nehmen möchte. Halber Teelöffel und drei Tropfen, am nächsten Tag sah ich aus wie aus dem Urlaub gekommen. Probiert es langsam. Und achtet darauf innerhalb einer halben Stunde mindestens nicht mit den Fingern ins Gesicht zu gehen, sonst habt ihr stellen an den Fingern. Natürlich kann man das auch für den Körper nehmen aber bei dem Wetter sieht man es eh nicht. Leute die helle Haut haben und nur rot werden, können damit gut zurecht kommen. Es halt so drei Tage, je nachdem wie ihr eure Gesichtsreinigung macht. Kläre Empfehlung
