Description
The Tanologist Self Tan Drops were created for both the face and body to provide a streak-free, natural looking tan. Our customizable formula is perfect for both new and experienced tanners, allowing you to control the level of tan you desire with every drop. These concentrated face tanning drops need to be added to your moisturizer for easy application. Infused with skincare ingredients like pink grapefruit, goji berry and juniper, these self-tanner drops help to brighten, soften and hydrate the skin. Our face and body tanning drops put you in control with the amount of drops you add – the more drops you use, the deeper the tan. Start by adding 3-4 drops to your favorite moisturizer. Increase usage until desired tan is achieved. Dermatologist tested and non-comedogenic, these self-tanning drops are suitable for all skin types and tones.
Directions for Use Add 1-12 drops to a minimum of 2 ml (1/2 teaspoon) of your favorite moisturizer, mix together well, and apply to skin. More drops = deeper tan. These drops are concentrated and must always be mixed with moisturizer- do not apply directly to the skin. Wash hands thoroughly after use.

Q: How often can we use this product and how long should it be on before washing out face or hands
submitted by Pediatrics - 2 years ago
A: Hey,
Great question! Our Self Tan Drops are formulated to fade evenly over the course of 7 days and to maintain your colour we would usually recommend reapplying your tan every 3 to 4 days or as you notice your glow fading. We could recommend avoiding contact with water for around 6 hours while the product is developing, but would advise thoroughly cleaning your palms after application to avoid tan development in this area.

Q: Does it wipe off or stain?
submitted by Skittles - 1 year ago
A: Great Question! The formula is clear (no guide color) so once you mix the drops with your favorite moisturizer and apply, your tan will develop in 4-6 hours and will not wipe off or stain your sheets and clothes! Our tanning products were created to last up to 7 days with no transfer and your tan will fade naturally as it would from a suntan. Always remember after application always wash your hands thoroughly

Go to tan
I like the how easy it is to use, how it fits into my routine and the results are both visible but not shocking. Just make sure to wash hands after using!

great for super pale legs!
if you're blindingly pale like me, so much so that regular "light to medium" tanners do nothing for your legs and you go "medium to dark" just to get a tiny bit of color to show up, this is a good option! I got both light and medium and went for broke with the darker one. I tried 8 drops - for each leg 😳 daaaang! (go ahead and laugh, I am!) color for sure! not orange, but sure looked weird because my legs were darker than my arms! I did have barely noticable streaks along my shins but I had so much oil in the lotion it was gonna streak somewhere! I waited a few days for it to fade and tried the lighter shade with 6 drops mixed for each leg. will definitely take longer with the light shade but sure safer if you're not in a hurry. if you want fast color, go with the dark and know that 8 drops each leg will get you "pretty noticable" color in one go 😂 VERDICT: Recommend!!! ps: there was definitely a self tanner smell on me after the first try! not so much the second time. not sure if it was the light vs dark or just way too much the first time! pss: I didn't try it on my face.

Start with fewer drops.
Don’t start with 6 drops unless you are going for really really tan. If I could do it over I would try one drop and work my way up to the desired tan. I put it on around 7pm last night and I washed my face last night and I’m like 10 times tanner this morning than I went to bed. I’m probably should have gone with the light shade instead of medium too. Hahahaha

Beautiful Tan!
These drops are amazing!! I have used gradual tanning lotions in the past for my legs but they really don’t moisturize, smells bad and is sticky. With these drops, which already smell nice, you can mix with your own moisturizer!! I used 10 drops with my favorite lotion last night and woke up to a beautiful light tan on my legs!! I added a few more drops to my moisturizer this morning after my shower and my legs are a little more darker this evening after work! They are great!! And the price is very fair for no more product than it takes.

made me itch like CRAZY
there’s honestly nothing good about it. even as a pale girlie, 4-5 drops didn’t even give me the slightest bit of color. made my eczema flare all over my legs because these made me so itchy. also made me breakout on my face

My new go to
I am very pale and headed to a beach vacation so I got these drops to give me a slight tan but nothing crazy. I got these light shade of drops. Used 6 drops on my body and 3 on my face. Overnight is developed a really nice sun-kissed color and I am very with the results. Curious how long it will last being in the water and showering but I brought them with me as the bottle is small and would be totally fine to re-apply as it didn’t take too long!!

Buy it. Now! If you like a heavy splotchy fake tan look ..don’t. It’s gives a gradual, soft tan that looks natural.

I love these tanning drops, they mix in nicely with my daily moisturizer and offer a natural look to my face, requiring no foundation. I also use it on my legs. It goes on evenly and doesn't stain my clothing.

Absolute STAPLE in my life
My absolute favorite as an AVID self tan girly who’s tried all products (I mean ALL). If you Combine this with your daily PM lotion, jergens (medium/tan if you want max effect), wait until dry and absorbed - then a layer of the B.tan aerosol spray on top - I promise you you will have the best tan that you have ever had in your entire life. Sincerely, a translucent blonde/blue eyed girl - never orange, always bronze. Don’t everrrrr not buy this.

Price is great - but got blackheads!
I’d been using these drops with my regular moisturizer 3ish times per week for the last 8 months. Loved how you can control the level you want. HOWEVER. I have been noticing more blackheads on my face and I haven’t ever had blackheads in my life. After talking to a licensed professional and process of elimination I found that these drops are not good for your skin and can cause the blackheads and acne. I have stopped using these and my skin has cleared up. The price point is catchy but know there’s a cost, acne & blackheads. I’ll be discontinuing these in my regime and paying more for a brand that’s better for skin and won’t clog pores. Gives you a nice natural glow though! Choose your risk lol

Disappointed !
Was hoping to find replacement for Ultas brand of tanning drops that were discontinued. This product doesn't work as well, you have to use so much to see results and also feels tacky and uncomfortable while wearing.

Worst tanning product to exist
The smell is unpleasant and the color after the tan looks so unnatural (orange) and I hate that this takes a few hours to show because you don’t know where you applied and don’t because it doesn’t show up right away.
