Sicilian Dark Bronzer - Best Gradual Self Tanning Lotion for Glowing, Nourished Skin

My favorite tanning lotion. This isn’t only great for indoor tanning, but I use it under my sunscreen on vacation and never burn. My skin keeps a deep tan tone days after use. Super light on your skin and smells great. So many compliments after I use it on how dark I look, even if I don’t tan - great uses alone as a self tanning lotion. No streaks or orange tones. I can use it on my face and it doesn’t cause breakouts. Doesn’t stain clothes. Must have!

I should note I just got this and used it about 4 hours ago so I’ll probably update when I have a couple weeks results but I’m so happy with the results I’ve already seen I couldn’t resist reviewing. Yesterday I laid out in the sun for about 2 hours with my normal tanning oil spray and saw 0 color change. Went out today after liberally applying Sicilian and it worked so well I actually started getting a little red. I laid out for maybe 40 minutes. Same time of day, same UV index.I see a lot of people complaining about the smell but I really don’t notice it too much. You can definitely smell it when it goes on and I personally think it smells lovely but it does fade into a bit more subtle scent (as most lotions do). I guess if I really press my face into my arm I can barely catch a “spray tan” smell but it’s extremely faint and unless you have someone smash their face into your skin it’s pretty unnoticeable. You could definitely cover it up with a mild scented lotion if desired.One thing I would note is be careful if you don’t have a base tan. This works VERY fast. I’m half south Asian so it takes a lot for me to burn and I grew up in Tucson so I’m pretty used to heavy sun but this stuff managed to get me mildly red. Whatever your normal tanning session is, I’d recommend cutting it in half the first time you use it. I’m one of those “oh don’t worry I never burn” type people but honestly had I been out 20 minutes longer I probably would be a little lobstery. Granted I don’t have a base yet so if you’re already far along in your tanning then there’s probably less need for caution.Some people have also mentioned streaking but I haven’t noticed any steaks at all. I did rub it in very well though and very liberally. However it may develop more in the next 24 hours but so far no streaks and no orange tones. Not even on my hands but I also washed them several times directly after applying. This is the first bronzer/accelerator that HASNT streaked aside from Beach Bunny Black that I used in high school (also a very good product).It also soaks in EXTREMELY fast and it moisturizes so well, my skin feels so soft and I wasn’t worried about transfer because it dried within 5 minutes. Also keep this in mind when rub it in, you really want to make sure you rub in in well and even as soon as it hits your skin to avoid being blotchy, streaky.Overall I’m extremely pleased and I highly recommend this product, will definitely be buying again.

I gave 5 stars only because of the brand. I have another lotion from them and it's tanning me very well. I just received this lotion and so far so good. The package came wrapped and smells delightful! I will be using this and will give an update after I have a decent time to try this out.

Nice silky smooth lotion for indoor tanning. Smells good. It actually works according for a nice bronzing tan to develop . I’ll buy again.👍

Well.... I don't typically do reviews but some people said that this was streaky and stained their hands. Others said that it had a horrible smell. None of that was true for me. It didn't stain my skin or my hands in anyway at all. I absolutely noticed a difference in my color after 1 15 minute session. Very nice brown color. The smell when I applied I thought smelled really good. So as it went the smell is a bit strong but no worse than other lotions. It wore off quickly. I would for sure recommend to anyone. and for those who have stained hand or large streaks I would wonder what they had done. I just applied like normal and rubbed it in good

Smells like strippers

This is by far my favorite tanning lotion ive used. Gets me SO tan SO fast. Only a couple sessions. Color lasts amazing too. The only con I have is the packaging. The caps have broken multiple times ive purchased this (ive been thru about 4 bottles of this its so good) which kind of sucks but idec ill repurchase again and again

Great light scent, goes on smooth and isn’t shiny or sticky. I’ve only tried it outdoors and not in tanning beds. Seems to work okay. It doesn’t provide as much instant color for a bronzer as I’d like compared to my old brand but everything else outweighs that. Would order again.
