What the gurus are saying

The color payoff earns real praise, delivering a convincing tan that doesn't pool in fine lines or wrinkles. Most formulas in the Loving Tan range include fragrance, which some people love and others may want to check the label for, so patch-test first if scent is a concern for you. The brand's applicator tool works well for reaching hard-to-reach spots like the back without a helper.

"They've got the Loving Tan brand, which has self-tanners, but most of their self-tanners include fragrance. So, I don't get too crazy about it, but a lot of people that don't mind fragrance absolutely love that self-tanning brand."

"I did try Loving Tan recently and I've got thoughts about it. I love the color that it gave me, it's just a little bit more pro to use. I'll talk about it later once I've got a better handle of it."
