Isle of Paradise Glow Clear Self Tanning Mousse - Color Correcting Tanning Foam, Vegan and Cruelty Free, 6.76 Fl Oz

I have tried many tanners over the years and I just always come back to this one. I’ve been using it every week for 5+ years. I absolutely love everything about it and it beats out it’s competitors in all the things that matter. #1 it’s much less likely to rub off on my clothes/towels/sheets (it’s impossible not to but the clear formula is much better than competitors). #2 it develops into a beautiful dark bronze tan in 4-6 hours. Let it sit as long as humanly possible if you want to be super dark but definitely wash off before bed! #3 it doesn’t smell bad (there is a smell, but it’s light and not nearly as bad as other alternatives). #4 it doesn’t streak (use a mitt and make sure to spread evenly). I would say 1 bottle lasts me about 1-2 months and I use it 1-2x per week on my whole body. Skip the face drops and just get this to use for your whole body & face. Don’t put it on your fingernails or palms but don’t skip your hands or feet or it will be obvious!

This self-tanning foam exceeded my expectations! It comes with an application glove that makes the process super smooth and streak-free—no mess, no colored hands.The foam blends easily and dries fairly quickly, and the color develops into a beautiful, natural-looking tan. I tend to do it in the evening before I go to bed so I can wake up with the sun kissed glow! I love that I can build it up gradually depending on the look I want. It’s become a go-to in my routine without the sun damage. Highly recommend!

This was my first time in a long time trying self tanner. I was nervous going in but overall it worked great and gave a good soft glow. I just wish there had been more instructions to avoid causing splotches. In hindsight, I would recommend not using it on your face the first time since it made my face a lot darker than my body. I also wish I didn't put my socks on so soon after but was unsure how long to leave it. I also did not love how strongly I smelled it for the next full day, But, no matter what, it did it's job well.

I bought this because the tanning water was discontinued and I honestly like the results better with the mousse. I did make sure to blend it a lot. Like when I thought it was probably fine, I blended for another five minutes lol. Gives a nice natural tan. The mousse is clear so it doesn’t transfer to clothes or sheets. Here’s the results on the right side after about 6 hours of development.

This is going to be split into 2 parts: 1. What to know if you decide to purchase this product 2. What to do if your pump doesn’t work (like mine) 1. First, I have used this product for two and a half years - and NEVER had a complaint. I have used multiple bottles and always got great compliments on my tan which has been a huge ego boost, as I can not naturally tan and am predisposed to skin cancer. I normally purchase direct from the Sephora website or a physical Sephora store, but this time I had no option but Amazon. I didn’t bother reading the reviews (mistake number 1). When I received it, there had been this weird, milky film floating around inside the bottle. I had NEVER noticed this before. I shook it, assuming it was separation. Still didn’t combine. MY SECOND MISTAKE WAS TRYING TO STILL USE THE PUMP - DO NOT DO THIS IF YOURS ARRIVES WITH THIS WEIRD FILM. Get a cheesecloth (preferred) or any kind of drainage utensil to separate the film from the liquid. It’s fine if there are small particles but the larger ones will clog your pump and render it useless. Refill the liquid back in the bottle after at least two drains, and you should be fine. And if you have already messed with the pump, read part 2. 2. Okay, so you must follow the draining instructions at the end of part 1 - the pump is now useless but you can use any other pump top to replace it. I drained the bottle from the milky film twice and then bought a bottle of foaming hand wash. I transferred the soap liquid to another bottle (reused a water bottle), cleaned out the soap bottle, and refilled my now clean tanning solution into it. I am waiting for the clean tanning solution to dry on my skin now. I’ll update this review with whether it worked or not. *UPDATE* it worked perfectly, and I still achieved a great, even tan. I won’t update the scoring because honestly I had to go out and waste more money (and time) on correcting an issue that should have been picked up on when they were doing quality control.

This gave me a great color but it goes on clear, which makes it extremely hard to apply evenly. I wish it had a slight tint when applying so I could tell if I had missed any spots. Overall a good product but not easy to use.

Es bueno

I put this on and took a nap an hour later on my white sheets and had zero transfer! The medium color gives me a light tan that looks like I went to the beach over the weekend. I’m interested to try the dark for a deeper tan and will update if/when I try the dark. I use a sugar scrub in the shower right before I apply and I think the oils from the scrub make the dry spots like elbows hands and feet blend easily without having to apply lotion before applying the tanner. I have only self tanned 2x in my life over the last 10 years so I’m definitely a novice and it was still easy to apply with the clear color. Will definitely be buying more when I get through this bottle. Update: I got the Dark color and slept in it and it’s darker but not too dark. Still no transfer on my sheets! I’m not sure which color I like better. I might use the dark more frequently and just rinse it sooner when I want a lighter color and sleep in it when I want it darkest.

I’m so tanned

Ich habe das Isle of Paradise Selbstbräunungs-Mousse gekauft, um mir auch ohne Sonne einen schönen Glow zu verleihen. Die Verpackung des Produkts ist ansprechend, und ich schätze, dass die Inhaltsstoffe natürlich und vegan sind. Was mir besonders gefallen hat, ist der Geruch des Mousse. Viele Selbstbräuner haben einen starken, unangenehmen Geruch, aber dieses Produkt riecht neutral und angenehm. Leider hat das Produkt auch einige Nachteile. Das größte Problem ist, dass der Selbstbräuner Flecken hinterlässt. Es war schwierig, ein gleichmäßiges Ergebnis zu erzielen, ohne dass gewisse Bereiche fleckig wurden. Ein weiteres Problem ist das Fehlen einer eindeutigen Anleitung auf Deutsch. Als deutschsprachiger Nutzer fand ich es herausfordernd, das Produkt korrekt anzuwenden, ohne genaue Richtlinien zu haben. Trotz dieser Probleme werde ich das Selbstbräunungs-Mousse weiterhin nutzen, allerdings beschränke ich die Anwendung auf meine Arme, wo die Flecken weniger auffallen. Ich hoffe, dass der Hersteller in Zukunft verbesserte Formulierungen oder klare Anleitungen bereitstellen wird.

Llevo 10 años usando autobronceadores , he probado prácticamente todos y sin duda este es el mejor. Aplicación de lo más comoda, no tiene guia de color solo una leve sombra que no mancha en absoluto no como la mayoría de los que llevan guía,el color no tira a artificial como la mayoría de los que no llevan guía y consigues un tono oscuro de verdad en una aplicación no como en la mayoría de los que pone oscuro que al final para que se note te lo tienes que aplicar mínimo 2 veces en el momento. Perfecto!!!!!!!!!

This was super easy to use, I used with a tan mitt. First time ever applying fake tan and I'm very white so was worried about looking orange and very streaky. I used the light. It has come out very even, not too dark on someone so pale so I'm very pleased. Looking I've been a away for a week and I look healthy, not baked out and not too dark! Smell is good and it goes on very easily. The only downside for me is it left me very tacky for at least an hour but after that all was good. I like it and for 12 pounds its a lot cheaper than most for a good product.
