What Else You Need to Know: Summer Skin Hydrating Gradual Self-Tanning Body Cream is a luxurious, intensely hydrating, gradual self-tanning cream infused with skin-loving ingredients. It delivers a confidence-boosting, natural-looking glow with no streaks, transfer, or stickiness and finished with an opulent Vanilla Caviar scent.
Really loving this gradual self-tanner! I already have a tan from the salon, so I use this on my off days to keep my color from fading. It develops evenly on me and is easy to build up without looking streaky. It also leaves my skin really soft and moisturized. The best part is the smell. I’ve tried a lot of self-tanners and this one smells the best by far. I wouldn’t say it smells like vanilla, but it doesn’t have that awful self-tanner after smell, which is a huge plus. I hope this product stays around for a long time.

Not a Fan of the Streakiness
I actually love the smell of this lotion! But I have tried to apply it 3-4 different times in different ways now and it is horribly streaky each time. I really wanted to love it but feel like I wasted my money unfortunately.

Exactly what I’ve been looking for!!!!😍😍😍
I have extremely fair skin and self tanners make me feel more confident. BUT I haaate applying them, feeling sticky, and the way they smell. It’s a sensory nightmare to me. But one thing I already always do is apply body lotion. I’m SO glad I decided to try this. There’s no fake tan smell, I don’t have to put my sweaty hands in gloves or wait forever for it to dry, and the color developed overnight into a beautiful natural glow that wasn’t orange or looked fake on me. And best of all I got immediate satisfaction of feeling hydrated and smelling amazing right after application. 10/10 will be rebuying!!!

Best Ever
I was using the santal scent of this product, and when I ran out, I decided to switch it up a bit with this scent instead. Love it!!! I wasn’t sure that I was going to like vanilla scent because I am so not a fan of sweet smells. I was scared of smelling like a cupcake. But I was pleasantly surprised. The smell is amazing and the color is fantastic as always.

Smells amazing!
This is the only self-tan I’ve ever loved the smell of. I mix it 50/50 with moisturiser because I’m very pale, and that gives me a really natural-looking result. If I use it without adding regular moisturiser, I have to be more careful to apply it evenly because it’s more obvious on me. It also wears off much more evenly when I use it this way.

Wanted to love it but it missed the mark
Smells amazing while putting it on but after a few hours it just smells like your typical fake tanner which was very disappointing. It came out splotchy on my very pale skin and turned the sun spots on my legs orange.

Not gradual at all
The product is supposed to be gradual but it is not at all. I wanted something where I didn't have to meticulously apply to perfection. Now I'm streaky and orange after one application.

Misleading name - it's not a gradual lotion at all
I love the smell and love the consistency - however I was expecting it to be a gradual daily lotion like Jergens or something and it's not that at all. You need to use a mitt, otherwise there will be streaks everywhere, and you really notice a big difference after only one application. Stupidly I brought this as my lotion for a vacation, and now my legs are steak, patchy orange and also dry because I can't apply this lotion any more.
I'll try using it as a legitimate weekly self tanner , but it didn't fit my needs to replace a Jergens gradual daily lotion type item.

Amazing
I was really curious to try this product because I’ve been looking for something that gives a natural, gradual glow without looking too heavy or orange. I love the idea of building color over a few applications instead of getting an instant, harsh tan. I used it consistently for a few days, and I really liked how easy it was to apply. The texture feels lightweight and blends smoothly into the skin. It didn’t feel sticky, which is very important for me, especially for everyday use. After 2–3 applications, I noticed a soft, natural-looking glow that made my skin look more even and healthy. It’s not too intense, which I actually prefer because it looks more effortless and real. I’ve been using it as part of my daily routine, applying it after showering, and it fits in perfectly without taking extra time. It feels more like skincare than a typical tanning product.

Great Product!
This product is great. Smells lovely too. It really brings a warm color to my skin which is better than tanning and being in the sun. I enjoy the product and how much product comes in each container. Yay!
