my favorite for years

I’m glad I’ve had my own experience with this product. I think the reviews here would’ve turned me away. I’m guessing this may not be best for the fairest of skin? I’m a light-med olive tone and find this gradual tanner to be just right. I do not use a mitt to apply but just use my hands and wash thoroughly after application on my body. If I’m using it on my hands I will use a moist towel to remove from my palms when done. The scent is a non issue for me. It’s not strong and doesn’t linger. I used to use Jergens gradual tan years ago until they changed the formula and it had parabens anyway. This product does not have any parabens! Yay! It has many ingredients that I do like. I enjoy using this year round.

Orange Tan

I have been using self-tanning products for decades and was excited to try this one after reading the great reviews. I was very disappointed to see an orange tan rather than a gradual one. In addition, although the product had no odor upon application, the next day I noticed a distinctive odor that reminded me of self-tanners from 20 years ago.

Fabulous idea

It’s easy to apply, has just a hint of smell. The tan color comes in about 5 hour. I love it. The color rubs off a little on a white towel if you rub with it, but it’s not a problem for me. I will definitely use it for summer months.

I love this stuff!!!

I love this stuff!!! It makes my skin feel amazing and fades so naturally. Super easy to use and it doesn't get all over my clothes or towels. Can't wait to try some of the other products.

The Best Self Tanner!!

I tried one of the cheap self tanners, and was very sorry...it turned me orange.. so I switched to Vita Liberata....and it is indeed the best! Goes on easily, no orangey tint, and long lasting too!!

Great self tanner

Love this product. I put on a small amount and it gave me a nice touch of color. Blended in well. Seems like you could apply again to go darker if you wanted.

Natural tan

I seen this on a friend and ask her when she got back from vacation. She said she hasn't been on vacation. She told me about this wonderful product. I ordered it that day. I can't get any son due to having basil cells. It looks like I just got back from the beach. Great product . Highly recommend! No sprays, smells, or being burnt. Try it you will love it.
