Q: Can you put sunscreen over it?

submitted by SW - 10 months ago
  • A: No, you shouldn’t apply sunscreen over the Carroten tanning gel. Sunscreen should always be applied first, directly onto clean, dry skin. Once the sunscreen has fully absorbed, you can then apply the Carroten tanning gel on top. This ensures that your skin is properly protected from UV rays while the tanning gel helps enhance your tan.

This stuff is amazing I can’t recommend it enough!! It gives a beautiful glow to your skin and really enhances your tan. It deepens my tan soo much!! It also lasts forever, I have had the same one for a year and it’s still more than half full.

Idk...

It is ok. Leaves me feeling greasy. I was hoping for an 80s-90s coppertone smell but was let down. No real scent, but feel like it might help a little as a tan accelerator.

Not for me!

I had high hopes for this but the texture and the stickiness was not for me. May work for some but I would not purchase again, I actually threw it away as it gave me sun bumps which I have never had before or since I stopped using

Tan

I was so excited when I saw that target started to carry this! It truly gives you the perfect fast tan/glow and smells so good. It does tend to transfer to whatever you’re sitting on but if you blend in well, you won’t have any issues. It’s also easy to wash off

Tan Accelerator

I used this product after spraying on my SPF, and this tan accelerator worked great for me! I am someone that does not tan easily, but this product really accelerated the process for me!

Stains !!!

I feel like no one talks about this staining your bikini. I don't think it's any better that the OG Hawaiian tropics oil. I think it's just over hyped bc TikTok

A nice Tan Accelerator

Ok people, this is for all those who are confused. This product is a tan accelerator. Meaning, you apply your sunscreen and let it dry, then you apply this product, and then you go in the sun. It speeds up your tanning process. It isn’t a sunless tanning product. It’s not supposed to give you a buildable gradual tan like sunless tanner. It does give your skin a slight tint, if you have light-medium skin, when you apply but that’s not what it’s referring to with the words tan accelerator. For example, I have light skin. If I lay out in the sun, with sunscreen, it would take me a week to start to see a good tan forming. However, with this product, and sunscreen, I got a nice tan after only two days. I hope I have made it clear to please use sunscreen when using this product!! But it is great at speeding up the tanning process. The smell is nice. I love the shimmery look. It’s not glittery. I did get a little on my swimsuit and towel but it washed right out.

LOVE LOVE LOVE

Literally used it for a week with a UV over 7, three of those days it was a UV of 8 and the rest was 10. Works amazingly and would definitely be repurchased, to be fair I do tan easily but still also get burnt too. WEAR SUNSCREEN

I loved it!

This self-tanner worked great for me and gave me a tan much faster than usual. I made sure to apply SPF, but I still got great results

Love the shimmery tan!

Easy to use and apply. It has a nice, light scent and a shimmer when applied. I instantly noticed a difference right after I rubbed the gel on. There are no streaks and it blends right into the skin. I noticed at least a shade darker with the first application. Would definitely recommend! A must have for a sun kissed summer tan.

Love the way my legs look!

I absolutely love how quickly this tans my legs. It feels so silky and smells so good. The ONLY thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't fully absorb into my skin so it leaves a little bit of a oily feel to my skin. Everything else? 10 out of 10!

Youre using it wrong!

For the love of baby Jesus if I see one more review saying this didn’t work to tan you because you used it as an instant tan! YOU USE IT IN THE SUN! Outside. To tan. With spf so you don’t fry. Anyway it works like a charm and was something I could only find in Europe so I’m glad it’s available here now!
