Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Perfect spray on tan! Easy to use, great colour. I only need one application as I'm very fair but it can easily be built up to a darker colour. Doesn't smell weird either!!

Purchased a week ago, no update

Placed an order a week ago for some items as a birthday present and have received no update from the company on the status of the order. The courier tracking information just shows this as with the sender. Pretty poor online buying experience. Thankfully I bought well ahead of time so I have a few weeks before the item is needed.

Caused an awful taste in my mouth

The tan was ok and it doesn’t smell awful but like another reviewer when using the mouse on my face I experienced a foul metallic taste in my mouth.
The second time I applied the tan I used Vaseline as a barrier and avoided applying next to my lips but the same still happened. I’ve used lots of tans in the past and never experienced this before will return to buying Bondi Sands & St Tropez.
The reply said it was an isolated batch but if it’s still happening 2 years later it can’t be an isolated batch.

Update- someone has been in touch and replaced the product, thank you.

Used to be my go to tan but definitely not as good now

Used to be my go to tan but I don't know if they have changed to formula of their wonder serum, bought some from boots the other week and it seems to be very streaky and didn't really leave much of a tan even after 8 hours. Also I've only used it 3 times and it's already run out! Total rip off, it's really put me off buying it again

Hi Emily,

Thank you for sharing your experience with us and we are so sorry to hear it did not work for you.
We always advise to use a mitt to help apply and buff in the majority of our products, which will help eliminate streaking and reveal a uniform glow. If the tan starts to streak when applying, this should be because it comes with a colour guide built in, which should be washed away after developing to reveal a streak free result beneath.

We definitely would want to assist you further if needed, please do reach out to us at info@skinnytan.com and our Team will be more than happy to help you anyway we can and see how we can assist you get the most out of your tanner.

Thanks once again for taking the time to share your feedback with us and we look forward to hearing back from you.

Fantastic product.

Ive tried dozens of fake tans over the years and Skinny Tan Whip is the first one to give me a lovely, streak free tan. Smells good too. I’m over the moon!
