This supersonic sunless tanner is crammed with pigment perfecting DHA and spiked with natural caramel & caffeine to create a gorgeously rich, ultra dark all over tan. 100% blendable, this creamy lotion positively glides across (and into) your body leaving a deep, velvety bronze glow (good-bye streaky bits) while drenching skin in a swathe of glow-bettering botanics (aka Sweet Almond Oil, Shea Butter and Coconut Probiotics) that keep you browner and skin hydrated for longer.

THE RESULT:
A brilliantly believable, ultra deep, sun-soaked glow that develops within the hour, without the hassle of sunburn, sand or seagulls. Skin looks radiant, feels oh-so-soft, and is lightly scented with a waft of fresh, sweet vanilla & coconut. 

WHAT’S INSIDE:
Loads of Coconut, including pure Coconut Probiotics, Coconut Oil & the best-ever natural coconut fragrance.
Plus clean, kind-to-skin ingredients including natural plant derived DHA, vitamin rich Sweet Almond Oil, and smoothing Shea Butter plus our powerhouse blend of antioxidant, enzyme & mineral packed hydrating Organic Coconut Concentrates (think smoothing & hydrating).

Love this tan!

I adore this tan, and have started using in it conjunction with the gradual tanner as a top up. It does give you an instant bronze but I still find the colour is best developed after 8+ hours / overnight. I have put it on before attending occasions many times and still been satisfied with the instant colour in the interim. It’s not too dark and I am always complimented on the colour when wearing it. I found applying it with nitrile gloves gives the best application, it can go patchy using a mitt. It fades okay, but better if you use gradual tanner once or twice during the week (this tan lasts about one week of wear). I haven’t had issues with it staining clothes, which is why I love it as you can pop it on in the morning and wash it off later in the day! Smells good and the product goes a long way so it’s great value for money. It is also easy to see where you have applied your tan.

Tips: Apply with latex/nitrile gloves to keep your wrists from staining (this tan CLINGS to wrists, elbows and knees so moisturise and be light on those areas) and then use a brush to apply to your hands. This tan looks quite different in the pre / post wash off phases. When first applied it acts like an instant bronzer, once developed and washed it leaves a lovely tan.

Sugar baby products

I’ve used these products a few times before and I really like them. If you want a quick tan then this does the trick, I still have the sugarbaby drops that I use on my face for a little glow/tan and it does what it says.

Best Ever

I was excited to try this after reading the reviews but I must admit, standing in the shop and reading that it was an ultra dark tan nearly put me off. However, I bought it tried it and glad I did! It's easy to apply and is a bronze coloured gel so you can see where it's going. The tan develops to a very natural colour over a few hours. No streaks or splotches! Don't worry if you think you have gone too brown - it's just the bronzer making you brown whilst the tan develops. Once you shower, this washes off leaving the perfect colour tan behind with not a hint of orange.

Tips: Use hand and back mitts.. game changers.

Better than any I've tried...

...and I've tried a lot!

I don't scrimp when it comes to self tan. I'm used to paying upwards of $50 and I'll generally get one to two uses from that.

I was surprised that this product was only $33, the tube is generous and the product goes a long way. It's economical for sure!

The smell is lovely. Sure there's a fake tan scent underneath the coconut, but the coconut does its job admirably and masks the unpleasantness well.

This is easy to apply, absorbs evenly and doesn't go blotchy. There was no clothing transfer during the developing time and showering was very easy and mess free.

The colour was incredibly deep, not in darkness so much as tone. You look like you have grown up in the tropics, naturally a sun kissed goddess.

I love that this is vegan and cruelty-free. I love the ease of application and the depth of colour. Most of all I love that this worked as well on my mood as it did my body - it gave me a real boost and made the last few weeks of winter brighter!

Tips: The Sugarbaby back applicator sent with this trial product is really worth checking out!

WOW!!

I was a little apprehensive when I saw the words 'ultra deep' Was I going to end up looking like an oompa-loompa? Was this going to be a TOWIE tan?

Never one to shy away from a BR trial, I decided to embrace the 'ultra deep' - and my oh my, am I glad I did!

This smells very tropical. They aren't exagerrating when they talk about all of the coconut in here haha, you will smell like a bounty bar!

I exfoliated well the night before using this. I used the nifty back applicator and a mitt for my legs, arms etc. I found this easy to apply, you could see where you'd already been and it spread and blended into the skin easily.

I went light on the knees and elbows and was pleased with the result on them, they didn't look dry, or darker than the rest of me.

The colour after 4 hours was sun kissed beach goddess. It was even, golden and smooth. My skin looked so good, and natural!

Ultra deep doesn't mean orange or brown, there's a depth to this tan that is really beautiful and natural.

I will be repurchasing and I will be raving about this to everyone!

Tips: The on pack instructions are short, but follow them and you'll have no dramas!

SugarBaby Tan

Probably a bit to dark for my liking so go easy on the application. But overall it did what it said, gave an even tan. The smell wasn't to over powering like some tans on the market. I quite like it. I'd use again.

Tips: Exfoliate first! Remember the ankles, knees, elbows and wrists. Wash the palm of your hands if accidentally get it on there. Use the provided mit. Don't over do your first application. See how the colour develops first and add more if wanting a deeper tan.

What a glow!!!

I have used many fake tans but this one is definitely on top for me now!!! It is a gel like consistency I applied it with the sugar babe tanning mitt and it has an instant tint so it’s easy to see where you have been. Drys fast and doesn’t leave a sticky residue like some. The best part for me is that it didn’t have that gross fake tan smell for days that lots do, it is lightly scented and came out a lovely even golden tan. Highly recommend. The back applicator was fab and easy to use too!

Tips: Exfoliate then lightly moisturise knees elbows ankles and tops of hands and toes before tanning

Smooth legs and nice colour

I used this with the SugarBaby body mitt. It provides a good coverage and doesn't need to be washed off as the colour develops. I was worried it might be too dark so applied a light coverage and was very happy with the colour on my legs. There were no steaks, the product smells like coconut and leaves your skin feeling smooth.

My teenage daughter also used this and her colour has lasted 3 days and counting, still looking tanned with no streaks.

Tips: Exfoliate before and apply moisturizer to knees ankles etc.

SugarBaby Tan of the Hour

I have always loved Sugar Baby tanning products so when I heard about the new Tan of the Hour, self tan I had to give it a try. The packaging is very easy to read and attractive, very in keeping with the Sugar Baby brand. Upon opening the lid the scent was so nice, definitely smelt like the mix of coconut and vanilla that the label promised. The cream itself was very dark and decadent looking. Using my tan mitt it spread so nicely and gave an instant healthy glow to my skin. This instant bronze helped in making the application even as you can easily see where you have missed and smooth streaks. The back applicator it came with was a game changer and I don't know why I have never looked for one before. It made back application so quick and so even. As the tan developed I could see the depth of colour grow and being a very pale skinned individual I was a little worried it would be obvious it was fake. I was so surprised that even though it was dark, it looked so natural and didn't look too out of place on my skin. I really like this product and look forward to using it more as the weather gets warmer and my limbs come out of their winter hibernation.

Tips: I tried using this tanning product the same as I have with others, using a make up brush to apply it to my face as I would a bronzer. It was super blendable and worked so well
