First off, I very rarely leave reviews. Bad habit, I know. But seriously, I wouldn't be writing this if I didn't believe in the product.Let me start by saying I am practically a tanning pro at this point. I have spent endless amounts of money on tanning products, between salons, lotions, sprays, and mousse. I have found that foam mouse products combined with tanning mitts get the best overall even tan with minimal streaks.Now, as far as foam mousse go, say a brand name and I have most likely tried it. I have even tried the expensive Instagram brands. The problem is, they do not seem to last as long and get much blotchier when fading.-St tropez takes my top three. It contains green dyes that help make the tan look more natural, but again it does not last very long.-Leading top two, formally my number one, is Jergens foaming mousse. This is my go to over night tan fix. It last for an entire week. And it's cheaper than most. Problem is it doesn't seem to dry very fast.-Finally my new number one, DWTS mousse!!! I am so happy I found this stuff. Seriously. A little more expensive, but well worth it. I surprisingly found out about this on Instagram. I am a hairdresser so majority of the people I follow are artist. There is a light lovely smell to the product, but it is not nearly as strong as the others. Best part about this stuff is I can put it on a hour before going out and have an instant glow that continues to develop and dries almost instantly! It lasted almost two weeks with two back to back applications. The color is BY FAR the most natural I have found to date!!!!!!THE PROCESS::I typically apply the mousse after my shower before bed so that my tan can deepen while I sleep. I do not apply a barrier. I use tanning mitts and rub the mouse all over my body, including my face, very gently applying to feet, knees, elbows, hands and face. I wear loose long sleeve pants and shirt to protect my bed sheets and let the product breathe. After I am dressed, I go back with regular moisturizer and rub into the gentle areas (feet, knees, elbows, hands, and face). This is key!!! This helps insure an even blend on these areas! Wake up and rinse off! Sometimes I will repeat the next night until I get the color I want!Any bad reviews for the product are most likely not applying with mitts. They are essential for an even tan!

I LOVE this product! I am a professional spray tan artist and only use Norvell on my clients and absolutely love how gorgeous their tans turn out. I love using the professional product for my spray tan machine that I bought this mousse for myself. I even bought the Norvell tanning mit to use it. Glides on, no streaks or weird coloring around the feet or hands and ZERO ORANGE COLOR!! Highly suggest & will continue to buy!! Read more

5 stars for the color, quality, value and scent. This is the exact same stuff the technician sprays you with at the spa/salon. In fact its the brand they used that I loved when I worked at a spa and lived in FL. The color is ridiculously perfect. NO ORANGE - just a deep reddish brown. You will definitely not feel like your sunless tan is ''on the yellow or orange side'' compared to the real tans at the beach or pool. I have a very light skin tone, I'd say its a neutral skin tone because I have both pinks and yellow/green tone throughout my skin and very very fair with zero sun or tanning, I dont burn too bad but I don't tan dark brown either. Some say it has a ''greyish'' hue to it and they don't like it because ''it looks dirty''. Well, everyone, that is exactly what combats the orange/yellow and its the exact tone of the people who naturally tan dark. All you need to do is thoroughly work it in to your skin and you will not ''look dirty'' at all and you won't look like you are wearing fake tan because the color is so on point.With that said, I would say you really have to know what you are doing to use this product by yourself or it will be a disaster lol. You cannot be afraid of this product you have to go all in and be very thorough in how well you blend it all over your skin. Have a very slightly damp microfiber cloth nearby so you can touch up imperfections, you can even very lightly go over the whole area with it to make sure the color guide is blended flawlessly (this is if you don't have a tanning mit around, I did not today so I used gloves and a damp microfiber cloth) If you do have a tanning mit, you should have no problems whatsoever blending this on your skin, for the most part, if you have some experience. The dark color guide will cling to any fine hairs on your body which if you leave it there will look terrible, but they can easily be lightly buffed away with the damp cloth after application. It sounds like a lot but its so worth the results of this product, because of the price and how long it lasts. Big bottle!This product smells so good - cherryish and a very subtle developing smell, but nothing like most products - even a lot of the higher end ones stink. And obviously be sure to properly prep (exfoliate and moisturize the night before) your skin, not only for the final result but it will help the color guide to look very pretty on your skin while you wait for it to develop during the day, and not a dirty streaky mess. Go ahead and use on face but use very sparingly in that area and reeeaallly blend well or you will look weird lolIt is slightly sticky for about an hr. In my opinion that is a very small price to pay for what you get here. Just like after you leave an airbrush session, wear loose fitting clothes that you don't mind getting some color guide on. Should wash out of clothes but you don't want to wear your best light/white clothes after application. Its always a sad thing when the time comes to shower and you have to wash off the deep dark color guide, but the tan it leaves is still that same very pretty red/brown tone...just slightly lighter. Apply a high quality deep moisturizer to your skin so that the fade is even and not flaky looking - this is the trouble that you run into if you are very fair and put a deep dark tanner on, no matter the quality of the tanner. It can be done but you can't be lazy about the care of it. Also mix in a little light tanning lotion of whatever brand, I use Caribbean Solutions (which is also great natural color on its own, just not as dark as Norvell, all organic, and the ingredients are like bathing your skin in vitamins) mixed with a good body butter or lotion daily to prolong the tan and so it fades slowly and evenly with no flaky blotches.

I used to get Norvell spray tans and love them. However, that gets expensive.I thought the foam would suffice. It sure doesn't. During application, it transfers extremely easily. When I bend down to cover my calf, any part of me that touches my thigh gets color transfer, and I have to re-do my thigh. It goes on very streaky and never seems quite even. It stays not only sticky, but wet for several hours after application.I have tried MANY high end foam tanners and this is one of my least favorites.I don't know if I received a fake product or if Norvell Foam just isn't for me.I wouldn't re-purchase or recommend.

I like to think of myself as a pro tanner! I’ve purchased every tan out there! For some reason the darkest ST Tropez and Bondi Sands doesn’t seem to stay on my skin anymore. So I was looking for a quality tan that will give me that deep bronzed just come back from holiday look! So reading the reviews about this Tan I saw lots of positives! I applied it yesterday late morning and washed off this morning 24 hours I kept it on! I’m tanned but not as well as what others have done. If your looking for something really natural then go for it! It’s just far to light for me. On application it glides on easy and leaves a colour on the skin so you can see where you applied it, doesn’t smell and not sticky! Read more
