Banana Boat Summer Color Self-Tanning Lotion by Banana Boat, Self Tanner Review

9.5

Finally, an inexpensive self tanner worthy of gushing over. How do we love thee? Let us count the ways: 1) Remarkably realistic color (and so much of it!) that's more golden brown than that of competitors; 2) A truly moisturizing lotion -- oil-free, packed with aloe and vitamin E and non-sticky; 3) A smell you won't crinkle your nose over. But its "streak-free" claim? Well, the lotion's tint helps, but no self tanner can ever be completely streak-free. (Note to companies: Prove us wrong.)

Radiant Glow

I love this formula from Banana Boat because it gave my light skin a healthy and radiant glow and was so easy to use. I loved that the formula wasn't greasy and didn't streak. The color adds a soft tint to your body and is absorbed quickly for a quick color addition to make your skin look healthy. It is a soft and subtle change and won't turn your hands orange on application. — 3 years, 11 months ago

Doesn't stink!
teshie (396 reviews)

I'm subtracting a star because this stuff is freakin' IMPOSSIBLE to find. Other than that irritation, this self-tanner is fantastic. It gives natural, non-streaky color at a doable price. Best of all, it doesn't smell at all once it absorbs, so I don't feel self-concious when I wear it. — 3 years, 5 months ago
