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

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.

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

Stinks!

By Kathy, San Francisco, CA, Verified Reviewer

I bought this product mainly because it claimed to not smell bad like ALL self-tanning products do.

It does! It smells just as bad as all the rest of them do, so bad that it kept me away all night. Fortunately, I only bought one bottle.

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

Stinks, It really it stinks

By Nancy Wannen , Washington, DC

Again, it stinks, and the color is horrible. I like Nivea better.

Good stuff

By Lisa Hagwood , Matthews, NC

I have used Tan Physics for two summers and have really enjoyed it. Yes, you have to be careful when you apply but it is worth not being pasty white. I have been asked on numerous occasions if I have been to the beach. I would recommend it.

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

Happy with Tan Physics

By Nancy Pryor, Short, OK, Verified Reviewer

I bought Tan Physics from eBay for under $10. For that price, I thought it was worth a try. I used a homemade sugar scrub to exfoliate with consisting of just sugar and a lotion I had on hand. Used latex gloves to apply Tan Physics. I was very happy with the results.

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.

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 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.

Not bad, but quite expensive.

By Tayla , Australia , Verified Reviewer

I used Tan Physics for the 1st time 3 days ago. I have a very pasty complexion so I don't mind the colour results. It gives quiet a bit of colour for me. If you have a darker complexion, I don't think the results would be very noticeable​. It smells fine and dries very fast. I don't think it applies any better to any other fake tan. I found I have to exfoliate before every application each day or it does go streaky, but if you do then it's fine. Overall it's a good product, but a bit pricey.

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

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
