I'm a little confused. Is this a self tanner or just sunscreen with some hint of color in it?

Ban de Soleil is neither. It is an SPF 4 tanning oil. It is a little greasy, but very fragrant and with a little sun, will give you a beautiful, golden, moisture rich tan in a day or two. But you have to be careful...if you do not have a 'base' tan before you start using it, you could get a bad burn. It's oil, plain and simple. I start with an SPF 30 and very little sun for days, building up my base, then go for the good stuff! Have fun!

It is not a self tanner, it works great for outdoor tanning. This is the best outdoor tanning gelee that I have used. It doesn't really have a tint of color in it. It is a orange gel that melts as you rub it on so it's like a oil. Definitely worth trying

This is not a self tanner and contains no color that will be added to your skin. Ban De Solieil does sell a self tanner, but it is a different product. This is an original formula that dates back to the 70's, comes in a metal tube, and is like gel/oil. It is orange in color (but it just turns to clear oil on skin) and smells fantastic. It is only a light sunscreen product - so little, it's practically a tanning oil in solid form.

Hey Joyce! I use this product after I tan and I absolutely love it...it helps keep me from peeling if I get a little too much sun and it extends the life of my tan. I've never remembered it to have any self-tanner or bronzing qualities...only moisturizing. I hope this helps!

Hi Madeleine;),this self tanner lotion used to be good, but not anymore, I stop ordering because the company I think change the formula and became to be weak.... meaning it doesn't tan like before, is just not working anymore... I'm using L'Oreal Paris L'Oreal Paris Sublime Bronze Tinted Self-Tanning Lotion, Deep Natural Tan, 5.0 Ounce

No, this is a straight pre-tan or after-tan lotion. No bronzing or self-tanning at all.

It's not tinted, so you wouldn't see a color guide or anything like that. It's like a gradual tanning lotion. I use it between my spray tans and it does a decent job.

This product is for indoor or outdoor tanning.. not a self tanner. JWOW offers a self tanning spray which I unfortunately don't carry.

This lotion is not a self tanner. It is great for a tanning bed. You tan quicker and get darker really fast.

This is a lotion for tanning beds and is not a self tanner. It has bronzers to help enhance your color while using a tanning bed. I used it last spring and was thoroughly happy with the results! However, I'm a huge fan of any Australian Gold products! Hope this helps...

It initially has a vinegar type smell that dissipates in a minute. Then as the tan develops, it can make your skin have that typical self tanner smell. I did like how well it worked though!

No, it doesn't smell like sunscreen. It has a very mild soft fragrance. I, too, am very light skinned, but there is just a hint of color and I love the way my skin feels and looks!

It's a cross between mustard and tan. The shade I received was a lot worse quality then the ones made by Koolaroo. I'm not sure I would buy this one again.

i think its a one shade product i could be wrong but all i add is a little bit of bronzer or setting powder in my shade and it looks natural. you honestly can't go wrong with this stuff . Hope this helps

Light golden brown. Not orange at all. I'm fair skinned with a slight bit of olive undertones. This tanner gives me a natural, soft tan look. I have been using it almost daily for several weeks and love it, because it's so easy to use and doesn't stain my hands. As we get more into summer here, I will continue to use it daily but every couple of days, I will add a few drops of darker instant tanning lotion because the overall darkness of this tanner is not deep enough for a dark, mid-summer tan. Perfect for adding a little brown color for winter/spring or an overall daily "base" glow with the help of an instant daily bronzer/tanner if your desired look is a deeper, darker tan. Hope this helps!

This is for tanning beds and outside tanning. It also says to wear out for a shimmery look. It is not a self tanning lotion but is very nice to wear even when not tanning because it smells good and has great hydration!!

I actually went and put some on my hand to see. I thought it had a kind of soft fresh scent. But, doesn't smell like Sunscreen. Hope you like it as much as I do.. I think you can buy a small 2 oz bottle to try.

Pretty sure that there is no sunblock in this. It seems to be mostly a moisturizer. I expect, just using this, you would get a sunburn if you were not already tan.

Sun's instant tint gives you a little color right away and darkens in a few hours. I've tried many self-tanners and I like this one the best. The color is good and it doesn't smell like other tanners. I've used it for 10 yrs.
