Summary

Tan Physics' range of self-tanning products claims to give you a vacation-worthy glow without the risk of skin damage. These products seem to contain safe, effective ingredients, but the resulting tan might be more subtle and short-lived than you want.

Pros

  • The scent dissipates quickly after application
  • Doesn’t stain clothing when applied correctly
  • Dries quickly
  • Leaves a natural-looking color tone
  • Gentle enough for use on the face

Cons

  • Color might be too subtle, even after multiple applications
  • Starts to fade within days
  • Minimal color options
  • More expensive with subtler results than competition

Smells

By Jennifer B., Tacoma, WA, Verified Reviewer

HighYa reviewed the Tan Physics and said she used her bare hands and it did not color her hands after application. I applied it the same way and washed hands soon after and it did stain my hands.

Also, HighYa said it does not smell, after application. For me, the smell got more intense as the hours went by. Not a pleasant smell like what was in the bottle before application.

Lastly, HighYa said it wouldn't rub on clothes, but three hours later, I rubbed a white towel over my arm and it rubbed off, I did put lotion on before application.

Plus the tan it gave for me was more intense than the subtle tan that HighYa gave in her review after one application.

It is highly priced and not sure, if there is a cheaper, less chemical, self-tanner out there but worth your time to research and see.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Tan Physics lotion

By Marian H., West Virginia, Verified Reviewer

The lotion does everything it states it won't...smells of copper after about 40 minutes after applying, leaves orange streaks. Would never pay this again as what I've bought at local drug stores for under $15.00 does as well if not better as you can pick your light, medium, or dark tan. Not happy with this product for what it cost at all!

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Tan Physics

By Beth W., Mount Airy, NC, Verified Reviewer

I’ve been using Tan Physics for three years now. It’s perfect for putting on and you look like you’ve been sitting on the beach for a week. Your skin is soft, smooth and it’s perfect for those of us who don’t like direct sunlight. It goes on smoothly, no streaks and no stains on hands, or clothes. I love this product.

Love it!

By Rhonda Sy, California, Verified Reviewer

I really like this product. I've been a Fake Bake locked-in user for years. I tried Tan Physics for the first time last night. Little smell, definitely not offensive like some have. I showered this morning and the color left after was very natural. No streaking and even color where applied. Next time I will be sure to apply lotion to the top of my feet, ankles, tops of hands and elbows before applying Tan Physics. It didn't stain my sheets nor leave any odor.

I've read so many negative reviews, I'm shocked I even ordered. But I am glad I did. It is on the pricey side compared to my favorite Fake Bake, but you don't need to apply much. I do like the fact you can reapply for a darker desired tan. My skin felt hydrated and looked as if I applied a moisturizer to my skin. I will be buying this product again. I do not understand all the negative reviews; it is very puzzling to me. I've been fake tanning for years and Tan Physics is at the top next to my favorite Fake Bake.

Purchased, not delivered

By Gaynor Giro, Walkerville, Australia, Verified Reviewer

I was so excited to receive my products today and can't wait to try it. BUT I am missing one bottle of Tan Physics true color. I have received the Exfoliant and the Tan Extender so I guess I will write a review once I can try the product.

Never arrived

By Jo, New Zealand, Verified Reviewer

My order never arrived and I have been unable to track it. The last available tracking showed it had arrived into New Zealand, then nothing more. I have no idea how to get my money back or who to complain to! Definitely a scam!

Love it!

By Julia Ann Faulkner, Illinois, Verified Reviewer

I have used two bottles as of now and reordered. I am 74 years old and have tanned all my life. My mom put me in clothes baskets and when she hung out the clothes, she always used olive oil on my skin. I have used all kinds of tanning and have a tanning bed. Also, I go out in the sun.

This is the best product I have used from a bottle. Virtually no smell and keeps a great tan going. I have been using it instead of my tanning bed. It dries fast and doesn't rub off. I have worked an easy way to put it on where you use coconut oil on hands before putting it on, then washing only my palms after.

I just love it.

Best tanning product that I have ever used

By Wayne Ellis, Gilmanton, NH, Verified Reviewer

I have tried many self-tanning products, but Tan Physics is by far the best product I have ever used. It is easy to apply, and within a day I noticed a darker color.

I would recommend this product to anyone looking to get a tan with or without the sun.

Love my results

By Julie Sisk, Loudonville, Ohio, Verified Reviewer

I had purchased two bottles of the Tan Physics and was so happy with my results. It looks like I have spent a lot of time in the sun. Everyone tells me they love my tan. It is so easy to apply. I can tell where I have hard areas on my body that does not want to tan. I just reapply, and it covers it up so well. Yes, it is costly, but if you don't have time to lay in the sun, this is hands down the next best thing to it. But much safer than the sun. Thank you, Tan Physics, for a great product.

It's real

By Mimi Nichols, Montclair, New Jersey, Verified Reviewer

I just received my order, and I really didn't know if it was going to work. Well, I tried it. This is the first product (and I have tried a lot) that really, really works. You put it on your skin, and there is no wetness, no stickiness, no streaks, and most of all, the color is natural. No orange color at all. I found this product in a magazine and decided to try it. Well, you have a customer for life, and I mean life. Thank you so very much, finally something that really works. I will network this item. Any coupons?

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Love, love, love this product

By Nancy, Pittsburgh, PA, Verified Reviewer

I have used Tan Physics for almost three years, and it is the best I have tried.

I usually go to the tanning bed about three times in the spring before I start using it. After applying only two applications, I get many compliments about how tan I already look. Although it is a little pricey, two bottles last me over six months. I always use a glove that can be purchased at Ulta for only a few dollars, and I never have streaks or spots. I don't think it has any smell good or bad.

I just can't say enough about this wonderful product. I always buy mine on Amazon.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
