It doesn’t get smoother than this. Le Tan Instant Self Tanning Lotion spreads on like nothing else with a tinted formula for easy to see application.

Fading like a natural tan, no one will be able to tell your golden sun kissed skin is anything but.

sun kissed tan!

I first discovered this product after borrowing my mates tan one night before going out - she used this and I found it great so went and bought myself one!

The lotion goes on smoothly and easy, its coloured which is great so you can see if you've missed any spots or streaky! Im quite fair skinned so it can be hard for me to find a good product that is going to look natural and very obviously fake, however this product did the job! It gave me a nice natural sun kissed golden look and I was able to gradually build it up by waiting a few hours and reapplying or applying more the next day to develop a deeper tan. What I was most impressed about was that when it started to fade, it didn't go patchy it just faded slowly in colour so no one would ever know I had had fake tan on. An added bonus is it doesn't have that horrible tan smell like most tans seem to have. For the best application use sparingly over dry areas such as elbows , knees and backs of ankles as those areas tend to grab the colour and appear darker. I brush over those areas at the end when there is little product left on my hand or pre-moisturise those areas.

This is definitely a product I continue to use ad will use again. Its not expensive either!

Tips: Avoid getting wet for a few hours or it will go streaky. Also wash hands immediately after applying to avoid discoloured hands!

Not streaky!

I find this product easier than the spray as it goes on smoother and less streaky, it is also easier to do the back of your legs etc when not having to spray it yourself. this product lasts a while and gives an even natural tan.

Tips: If you want to have face tan lighter add moisturiser to the mixture

New Favourite!

I purchased this because I couldn't get my hands on my usual self tan (you can get Le Tan at supermarkets) and I really LOVED the outcome. The staying power is amazing, it lasts me the whole week and the fading isn't too bad. The only thing I don't like about it is it has a sort of vegemite consistency and I find it hard to rub in without it looking muddy and splotchy but once you wash it off it looks great :)

Worked a treat!

I had never been much of a fake tan girl before this product but it worked amazingly on me! Only down side for me was that it doesn't have the nicest smell but that's what perfume is for! I love with this product that it says 'fast tan' and it actually is! I applied this an hour before leaving, doing my makeup after, and it looked great from the beginning!

Tips: I tend to use my hands but a tanning mit will probably work nicer :)

Le Streaky

When applying this I found it had a very strong smell. Although I know that a lot of tanning lotions are very pungent this was by far one of the worst. I applied using a mit on one leg and my hand on the other (the mit got very annoying to use and wasn't working in my favour.) It dried very quickly and I was happy to find I could almost instantly put clothing on without feeling like it was going to stain everything. I was excited to see myself the next day as it was my fathers birthday and he was having a small party. I woke up looking like a piece of artwork. I was streaky and blotchy and my knees although using "sparingly" were brighter than the sun. I wouldn't use this product again.

Tips: Ensure if buying this you have a bottle of "Le Tan", tan remover.

Le Tan Lotion

This smells so gross. It's sticky and awful to apply and it's too orange, you will look like a carrot. It does have a nice sparkly addition to it, however.

This is my Holy Grail tan lifesaver!

I need to fake tan for wrestling shows, so I need an all over, even, deep tan that looks good under stage lighting. Le Tan Deep Bronze is the best I've used! The application is simple, just rub in like moisturiser, you can see the colour instantly so its never surprisingly uneven. The colour can be built up over a couple of applications, or just one application is enough for a natural deep bronze tan. I'm naturally pinky pale, and it looks like I've been on a summer holiday, with a nice even fade down over the following two weeks.

Tips: Exfoliate! And find a handsome man to do your back. I prefer this cream/gel to the spray because one tube lasts for 5 or more full body tans, whereas the can only delivered one application at the level I required.

I'm a streaky orange!

Well. This was super streaky and made me very orange so unfortunately I can't say I like this especially as the colour gets a bit better after more applications. I ended up mixing it with a lotion to get a lighter colour so it would apply less streaky, that did work, sort of. Overall, this is average maybe below average, I don't hate it but I don't like it.

Not my fav.

I had high hopes for this product, but it definitely is not for me. I prepped my skin properly, but the 'tan' still came out quite streaky - and VERY orange!

Tips: Patch test first to see if you like the colour before you apply all over!

Le Tan

if applied the day before, I tend to always get a good even tan with this product, its not a orange colour and is very easy to apply. Although I have never used it as a 'instant' tan, its more a gradual over time, hence why I apply it the night before I need it, and perhaps re apply every three days to keep that natural looking tan. has a nice sheen to the colour, the only downside I've noticed is that fake tan smell tends to last longer with this product then others.
