Birchbox Breakdown

Orange streaks are the telltale sign of a self-tan gone awry. Happily, this Spanish brand’s genius towelettes are designed to give you uniform all-over color. A bestseller in Europe, they landed on our shores just in time for bikini season. These single-use wipes deliver a natural tan on face and body that’s more intensely bronze than the brand’s regular self-tanners. Even so, the formula adjusts to your skin tone, so you don’t have to worry about ending up with an un-matching tan.

How it Works

Made of natural viscose fibers, these napkin-sized towelettes come pre-soaked with a paraben-free, moisturizing formula that works with the natural proteins in your skin to give you a convincing tan. Dehydroxiacetone—a naturally occurring sugar with a fancy name—acts as a pigment-depositing agent, while transcutol helps with penetration. The individually wrapped wipes offer a safe alternative to sun bathing or (worse yet) lying under a tanning bed, and they’re also way easier to use than messy bottles of lotion.

How to Use

One towelette should be enough to cover your whole face and body, though you can use two if necessary. Run the towelette over your bare skin, taking care to avoid your delicate eye area. Wash your palms and nails carefully afterwards, and wait at least ten minutes before showering or getting dressed. The results will appear in about three hours. To maintain your tan, reapply every three to four days.

Active ingredients: Dihydroxyacetone (DHA), Transcutol

Good Self Tanner

This was easy to apply and gave good coverage but after a few uses you do turn kind of orange. Good to use if you're just looking for a hint of color and not a deep tan.

Minimal color

This product did not smell and was easy to apply. One towelette, however, was not enough to reach a "tan" shade. It didn't apply much color at all.

OMG LOVE!!!!

I was an avid tanner for many many years. Recently my best friend found out she has skin cancer and had to undergo the removal of spots from her body. After that i stopped using a tanning bed and started taking better care of my skin as far as putting on SPF. This product gave me my natural glow back without having to get in a tanning bed. I loved it most self tanners leave a nasty residue on your hands after applying and usually they do not have a good aroma to them. This product went on super easy and gave me a beautiful even tone. No orangey look!!!! I'm in love!

wonderful
Sampled

So I have super pale legs like almost transparent... and my arms are a nice olive color. Nothing will tan my legs i go outside and they don't even burn.
This though I tried it on my legs initially because I don't typically show them. The color is so nice it wasn't orange. The only problem was me... I must have missed spots or something because my legs look crazy. Part of me wishes you didn't have to wait three hours to find out you screwed up :/ the color is nice though.
Oh it also smelled really nice too.

this product is great if you already have a base tan..it really smoothed out my natural tan and gave me a very sunkissed look. one towel was only enough for my legs though.

Easy to use but too pricey for regular use
Sampled

This was easy to use, smelled nice (rare for self tanning products) and the color was ok...but it's probably only practical for small areas of use. One wipe simply wasn't enough for both my legs and two would be too much.

self tanner

This is not for me. For some reason, my skin reacts badly to this particular self tanner. I get bumps and it is not attractive!

there wasnt enough in the package to do an all over body so it was really pointless.
