SugarBaby Tan of the Hour

Hi everyone. I used sugar baby tan (ultra dark )on the weekend. I have naturally olive skin ,so my skin tends to picks up warm colours really easily -so I found that this sugar baby tan was really lovely for me . It went quite dark as it is the ultra dark colour, so if you are have more pale skin, maybe it would be best if you did a lighter colour, but then again ….if you want to really ultra dark tan and you exfoliate properly and dry off and make sure your pores are closed before you apply it, I think you would be fine. It had quite a gel like consistency and I found it really easy to apply and not streaky - and you didn’t have to rub it much before it settles on your skin. I applied it in a circular motion rather than up-and-down, but I’ve kind of done that, with all my tans I’ve tried and it works well. One thing , I left this on for six hours.- it said for a darker tan 4 hours and I was tempted to leave it overnight but I’m quite glad that I didn’t because I had a really lovely dark golden colour tan enough for me (quite dark but very even) . There was no awful smell , on the contrary not much smell at all , It took probably around a good 15 to 20 minutes to dry after applying , before you put your clothes on after tanning, but I just put on a big, loose dress and that worked well. My daughter walked in this morning and said mum you look really good! so I guess it worked nicely! It’s a lovely feeling when you look in the mirror and think well I look like I’ve been on a wee tropical holiday , when really I was at home in kiwi winter 🤣One other thing my skin is not dry today as after some other tan products, so I think the Shea butter must work !

I was super excited to be chosen for this review team! I am an all year round user of fake tabs and am always on the lookout for the next best one.

I like the colour of the tube it looks beachy and a nice goldy colour, also with the pink of the Sugar Baby brand. It promised to give a natural looking tan without the orangey look that some self tans give, so has to be a winner! The smell is actually really nice, compared to most self tans it didn’t have that much of a smell which was pleasantly surprising. The consistency is nice, quite thick and creamy and doesn’t drip which is great. It is very dark (ultra dark tan), and I thought maybe it was too dark and would look terrible but it didn’t! I was able to dress within about ten minutes too which was an important factor for me as I often apply when I’m getting ready for work and it needs to be quick drying.

It blended really well and I couldn’t see and streaks at all- I am a lazy tanner though and generally don’t exfoliate my dry areas haha however it didn’t seem to make much of a difference. The back tanner I received with the tan is a whole another level, what a fantastic idea! I have heard of these but never used one and was so glad I did! It is wonderful and easy to use once you get the hang of it.

All in all I really like this self tan, consistency, smell, ease of use and the colour are all great, I’ll definitely be buying this in the future!

Hi Beauties xx Wooowwwwww!!! I have definitely found the best and nicest gradual tanner ever xx It smells so amazing, it glides on evenly and not blotchy!! Your skin feels so soft after it sets, which also does not take long xx I love that it has the natural botanics, which it does definitely keep you looking browner for longer and hydrated too xx This is the first Gradual Tanner that works for me, I used to be in the sun a lot, and naturally can tan quite nicely. But now I’m inside a lot, so this has helped me glow again xx Thanks Sugar Baby for the amazing product xx Thanks BR for choosing me to be on the trial team xx so happy xx

Plenty of pros for me from this product. The cream is just thick enough that it won’t run everywhere but thin enough that it spreads nice and easy. It has a nice light coconut smell without screaming ’self tan’. Love the fact that it goes on pretty much exactly same colour that it develops to. No nasty surprises turning out too dark. No rub off on sheets or clothing once it’s dry! Huge bonus. Nice not having the big ranga patch on the white sheets in the morning. The colour gradually fades over about 5 days so that’s a pretty good life span I’d say. The applicator makes back application actually possible! I’d never tried one before. I found you need to do some weird contortions to get it all rubbed in even but it’s a heck of a lot better than hugging yourself to spread it around lol It’s nice and hydrating compared to a lot of tanners I’ve used which is a plus on 50 year old skin Easy to use squeezy bottle with a flip lid that’s easy to close with one hand. Product definitely does what it claims to do. My only negative comment would be that it’s slightly more orange than what I’d like but I think because it’s so easy to use and long lasting I’d probably stick with it anyway. It’s a big thumbs up from me. I’d recommend both products

I was lucky to receive Tan of the hour to trial - this is my first ever Sugar Baby product and it did not disappoint. The tan packaging is eye catching with a pop of bronze foil and hot pink. It was also appealing to read the tag line “clean + kind + vegan”.

When applying my tan I noticed the formula was a thick cream texture and dark cocoa in colour. It was quick and easy to apply with a mitt, this does glide onto the skin silky smooth and leaves your skin brown to show any bits you may have missed. It also smelt divine, the scent of tropical coconuts.

I applied to my entire body from the neck down, smelling and looking like a brown tropical goddess. I used the Sugar Baby back & body applicator “The Back Up” to apply tan to my back but it was a struggle to apply evenly so I returned to my trusty mitt.

It did dry quickly and was not sticky, so after waiting 4 hours and washing off I hoped for the best after watching all my hard work wash down the drain. Directly afterwards I was slightly brown but not ultra dark as I had hoped, perhaps 5 hours or overnight may have the desired effect - although the next day I was nice and golden so it may take longer to develop than first thought.

Overall a very nice and natural tan, left my skin soft and I was very impressed at the shade (not orange) and the lack of streaks and patches! Will definitely use again and leave on for a bit longer.

Pros: As above the scent, texture, easy application, end result Cons: Needs to be left on longer than 4 hours for dark tan (I was a little disappointed that it had to be left on for 3-4 hours, the title “tan of the hour” did make me think it was going to be a quick tan solution)

I applied my sugarbaby tan of the hour with a tanning mitt I had already. I liked the consistency as it was thick and creamy so was really easy to apply and it just glided on.

The smell was faint actually less than alot of other tanning products I couldnt notice the smell after application at all unlike others.

Great coverage, great colour dried really quickly so was able to get dressed about 10minutes after. I left on for 3 hours until I showered, and when I did I didnt use any soap I just let the water run over me to get rid of the top layer of bronzer, pat dried then went about my day.

I highly recommend this product. I use fake tan all through summer and this is now my new favourite.

I recently had the opportunity to try out the SugarBaby Tan of the Hour self-tanning product, and I'd like to share my thoughts and experiences with you. As a regular user of self-tanning products, I was eager to see how this one compared to my usual go-to, Bondi Sands Ultra Dark.

First and foremost, the scent of SugarBaby Tan of the Hour pleasantly surprised me. It had a nice, mild fragrance that didn't overwhelm my senses. Unlike some self-tanners, this one didn't leave me smelling like I'd just emerged from a chemical factory, and for that, it earns some extra points.

I was pleased to find that SugarBaby Tan of the Hour left a natural-looking tan tone that didn't veer into the dreaded "orange" territory.

However, I must admit that I had higher expectations in terms of the depth of the tan. Given that I typically use Bondi Sands Ultra Dark, I found SugarBaby's Tan of the Hour to be slightly lighter in comparison. While it did provide a nice, subtle tan, it wasn't as dark as I had hoped for.

In terms of the texture and feel, the product was fairly hydrating, which is always a plus. However, I did notice that it felt a bit sticky on my skin after application. While this stickiness did subside somewhat as the product dried, it was still a noticeable drawback for me. I know this is normal for cream based products, but I just don't enjoy the feeling.

Overall, I am content with the results I achieved with SugarBaby Tan of the Hour. However, if I were to weigh the pros and cons, I'd have to say that I probably wouldn't repurchase this product. My personal preference leans towards Bondi Sands Ultra Dark foam, primarily because it delivers a deeper color and dries faster, without the lingering stickiness.

In conclusion, SugarBaby Tan of the Hour does have its merits, such as a pleasant, mild scent and a natural-looking tan tone. However, it falls short of my expectations in terms of color depth and I don't like the sticky feeling. Ultimately, the choice of self-tanning product may come down to personal preferences, and while I'm happy enough with the results, I'll likely stick with my tried-and-true Bondi Sands Ultra Dark for now.

I generally only use fake tan in summer because I find it a hassle to apply, but this was SO easy! I used a tan applicator glove which I really think is necessary, but the product itself definitely glides on smoothly. I then used the Sugar Baby back applicator to buff around ankles and knees.

I love the scent of this. Vanilla and caramel deliciousness. After a while the sweet fragrance disappears and you get the distinct ‘fake tan’ smell coming through, but it’s certainly not as bad as other products I’ve used.

I was also impressed that it started developing within an hour, exactly as advertised. It means if you unexpectedly get a sunny day and want to show some skin you can apply this in the morning and be ready for the day.

I was apprehensive to try this product but so glad I did! The darkness of the cream scared me a bit as I’m very pale! Hint - after exfoliating I gently moisturised my elbows, wrists, knees and ankles and then applied the tan. I left on for 2 hours as I’m very pale and wanted more of a soft golden look for spring! This was the perfect amount of time and it came out looking great and streak free with no blotchiness! I think in summer I would leave on for 3.5 hours for a darker look. It has a lovely hint of coconut and applies smoothly and evenly. I noticed that day 2 and 3 it had developed further which I actually really liked. I will definitely be using this through summer and recommend to friends! Love it!
