Getting Your Dream Tan is Now Fast and Easy
Having an even, beautiful, and healthy-looking tan is a dream that many of us are trying to pursue. However, some people find sunbathing and prolonged exposure to the sunlight (for achieving desired results) rather tiring, not to mention dangerous and posing potential health hazards.
Indoor tanning with the Banana Boat deep tanning oil spray will make your dream come true in only a few short tanning sessions! This amazing product will help you get a deep dark swarthy skin with long-lasting color in no time.
So, what is the secret of this tanning oil, you may wonder? To begin with, the composition of this product is quite unique and unusual, as it is infused with a variety of rare extracts and useful ingredients.
- Banana fruit extract, which is extremely rich in nutrients, minerals, and vitamins, has long been used in skin care and beauty products to give an excellent moisturizing boost to skin and hair. Besides, it perfectly rejuvenates, soothes, softens, and nourishes rough, dehydrated, or cracked skin. Regardless your skin type, it won’t cause any irritation.
- Carrot root extract accelerates the tanning process, boosts the elasticity of the skin, provides intense hydration, and may even assuage the visible signs of skin aging.
- Sunflower seed oil may ameliorate skin dryness. When you apply the tanning oil on your body, sunflower seed oil helps to create the invisible barrier that prevents excess evaporation of moisture from the body. Besides, it contains a powerful antioxidant, VitaminE, that fights off the negative effects of free radicals. Omega-6 fatty acids promote the production of new cells. Thus, this oil can also postpone the first signs of aging and promote consistent skin rejuvenation.
- Moreover, you may find here the beneficial oils of banana, carrot, and coconut, the extract of aloe, and cocoa butter – all working together to improve your skin health and appearance.
As a result, you get an excellent oil that not only speeds up the tanning process but also takes good care of your skin.
Note, this product does not contain any SPF filters, therefore it is marketed by the manufacturer primarily as an Indoor Tanning product. However, together with sunscreens, it will allow you to safely tan on the beach, achieve a similar effect as indoors and get a perfect brown tan.
The set includes 3 bottles of 8 fl. oz. that will last through several months of active use.
Easy Application with Uniform Results
The most important step in getting an even and beautiful tan is the uniform application of the tanning solution all over the body. This tanning spray is the most simple and convenient product in use and application. It will help you achieve the desired tanning results with minimum hassle, time, and effort. You can apply it on the entire body area much faster than the regular lotion. Once you get the hang of it, you will be able to apply this tanning oil in less than a minute. Just spray it on the main areas and rub it lightly with gentle massaging movements. Wait for a few minutes until the product is fully absorbed, and proceed to your tanning session on a sunbed, on the beach, or in the backyard.
Sunbathing or Swimming? How About Both!?
When sunbathing on the beach, many people who are longing for that gorgeous tanned smooth skin look often deprive themselves of the pleasure of a refreshing dip in the cool water. They may avoid swimming after applying the tanning solution in fear that it will instantly wash off in the water.
How to Get Rid of Rough Skin?
Thick, hard, and rough skin on the feet is a very common problem, especially if you walk a lot and do not have an opportunity to treat your feet with a regular pedicure. Taking care of your feet is important. As roughness and excess dryness can lead to skin cracks, corns, calluses, infection, and even inflammation.

Anyone who ever tried this incredible tanning lotion was absolutely thrilled with the results!
This Browning Lotion boasts a unique family formula that has been kept in the strictest secrecy for years (or maybe generations).

Light mineral oil and kukui nut oil perfectly moisturize the skin, aloe vera provides protection, and all the components work together to promote long-lasting and even tanning. Meanwhile, you will achieve the deep dark swarthy skin in the shortest possible time, regardless of whether you prefer a sun or sunless tanning.
It is worth to say a few words about the lotion packaging itself. The bottle with the volume of 8 fl oz can easily fit even in the smallest beach bags. Thanks to the narrow opening, you will be able to squeeze out just the right amount of the tanning solution into your palm for a smooth application. Efficient and economical use of the lotion will save you a penny.
Coffee Plant Extract Benefits
Coffee Plant Extract, which is contained in this browning lotion, is a powerful antioxidant. It enhances the blood circulation that improves the delivery of nutrients to skin cells, accelerates the process of their rejuvenation, triggers new cell generation. As a result, it boosts the firmness of your skin, increases its elasticity, and fights the signs of fatigue. Coffee extract restores skin radiance and prevents it from drying out. Yet, its benefits do not end here. This effective natural remedy prevents skin redness and irritation as well as protects it from the harmful effects of UV radiation. It is important to note that it can hardly be a good substitute to a sunscreen product due to the absence of a sun protection factor (SPF).
A Perfect Set for a Perfect Beach Tan
If you plan to spend your days away on the beach this summer season, you need to take care of the proper skin protection from the harsh and piercing sun rays and UV radiation. Purchasing an effective and high-quality sunscreen is a must. To save your time and money, Maui Babe has created a perfect set for a perfect beach tan, that consists of the presented in our review Tanning Oil Browning Lotion, as well as an excellent sunscreen and an after browning lotion.
- Sunscreen Lotion with SPF 30 reliably protects even the most delicate and sensitive skin, that can rapidly burn in the sun.

Besides, it prevents peeling, flaking, as well as redness and irritation. Finally, it enhances your tan and effectively seals it in to keep it from fading way too soon.
The Secret of Young and clean skin
As you know, the face skin is most sensitive and yet most exposed to the sunlight. Regardless where you are, sunbathing on the beach or walking around the city, it will get tanned anyway, unless you provide it with effective protection from piercing sun rays.

It effectively promotes faster healing of small wounds, cuts, scars, or sores. Together with aloe extract, it will allow you to experience an invigorating fresh coolness when lying on the beach on a boiling hot day.
Recommendations For Use
Since this tanning oil does not belong to sunscreen products, it is recommended for indoor tanning only on a sunbed. For better tanning results, the oil needs to be fully absorbed. It is best to apply it 10-15 minutes before the tanning session. In case you want to sunbathe on the beach, apply a sunscreen protection first, carefully rub it in, and wait for about 10 to 15 minutes before applying the tanning oil.
Flawlessly Smooth Legs Without Pain and Anguish
Flawlessly smooth legs without a sign of unwanted hair, redness, or irritation is a dream of so many women. Certainly, it is achievable, but at what cost? Do you prefer to suffer through the awkward waxing or run the risk of cuts in the most delicate areas when shaving? Both waxing and shaving can turn into a real nightmare. These are rather traumatic methods. Wax strips can tear off parts of your delicate skin, and sharp razors pose risks of injuring yourself by cutting.

Australian Gold® in Your Beach Bag
Exotic Oil® has become a real catch for people who prefer natural tanning in the sun instead of visiting solariums. The updated formula of the product, although oil-based, nevertheless gets absorbed incredibly quickly, without creating a greasy feeling. The manufacturer recommends this dark tanning oil spray for outdoor use. However, in the absence of SPF protection, it would be more suitable for people with a dark swarthy skin and experienced tanners.
Keep in mind, a little extra precaution wouldn’t hurt! As a saying goes, prevention is always better than cure! Therefore, we would advise applying an effective sunscreen lotion to protect your skin from the hazardous effects of the UVA and UVB rays, so that you could enjoy only the positive effects of being in the sunlight while minimizing the negative ones.
Countless Benefits of Olive Oil
Nowadays olive oil is actively used in the expensive skin care products, due to a number of reasons.
- Being very rich in vitamin E, olive oil is considered to be an excellent antioxidant. It will improve the natural color of your skin and give it a more youthful appearance.
- In view of the excellent antibacterial properties, tanning oil with olive extract will accelerate the healing of small scars, and promote the rapid regeneration of skin cells.
- The olive oil applied to the skin minimizes the damage from direct sunlight.The beta-carotene contained in it acts as a powerful protector against hazardous UV lights.
Economical and Efficient in Use
The important benefit of a spray packaging is the possibility to use the product in an economical and efficient way.
No Toxins is the Key to Slim and Fit Body
Alas, the lifestyle of many of us leaves a lot to be desired. The lack of sleep, high dependence on caffeine, carbonated drinks, alcoholic beverages, poor nutrition, unhealthy diet, sedentary lifestyle – who is not guilty at least in one of these sins? Yet, they all lead to the accumulation of harmful toxins in the body.
The consequences include weakening of the immune system, consistent fatigue and lack of energy, irritability, headaches, and weight gain, to name a few. In addition, your skin will be the first to signal the toxic overload by bursting with acnes, rashes, eczema and other chronic problems.

What is a Tanning Oil?
Black or white, dark or pale, it is all a matter of taste, which greatly differs from one person to another and one generation to the next. A few centuries ago, paleness was widely praised, being viewed as a sign of affluence and aristocracy; a distinctive characteristic of the upper class, that had the privilege of staying indoors not being burdened by the laborious work in the fields. Later on, with the onset of the industrial revolution, the situation changed the other way around. The low-class labor moved indoors, into the factories, and only the wealthy class could afford to spend time outdoors under the wide open sky and in the fresh air, as their skin started slowly changing color into attractive swarthy tones.By the beginning of the 20th century, social issues aside, the science caught up to recognize the beneficial effects of sunlight to our body and recommended sunbathing as a beneficial pastime for the leisured class (1913). Soon after Ms. Coco Chanel herself accidentally reinforced the tanning trend so that the tanned skin eventually became perceived as not only healthy but also very fashionable and even luxurious!
In our days, dark tanned skin is certainly viewed as sexy and alluring. Many people visit solariums or take sun baths to acquire a beautiful and even tan. However, for better tanning results and your skin protection, using specialized tanning skincare products is a must! Tanning oil is an effective tool that will accelerate the tanning process and minimize your exposure to the UV rays. Besides, it will give your skin an attractive natural glow and help you look even more irresistible! Pleasant fragrances, infused in the tanning oils, can literally take you away to the tropical beaches, sooth your mind, and lift your spirits! When using a tanning oil on a regular basis, you will look and smell truly delicious!
Nourishing and pampering your skin is vital. Don’t forget to treat yourself to a nice bath filled with delightful therapeutic scents of incredible bath oils, that can help you not only rejuvenate your skin but also improve your digestion, reduce fatigue, treat anxiety and depression, as well as give a boost to the immune system. Besides, massage sessions can offer unforgettable delights and incredible health benefits when performed in complex with the best massage oils.
What Features to Compare
Indoor vs. Outdoor Tanning
Before buying a tanning lotion, you should decide first where you want to use it, outdoors or indoors. If you are looking for a tanning solution to use on the beach during the next summer season, be sure to get one with a strong sun protection factor, that can reliably shield you against hazardous UV rays. The more sensitive and pale skin would generally benefit from higher sun protection factor. Note, the level of protection is always indicated on the package. SPF protection ranges from as low as SPF 4 or 5, for experienced tanners, and all the way up to 60 and even 100 SPF, to protect the most delicate skin from sunburns.
If tanning oil does not have any SPF protection, then it is intended only for indoor use on a tanning bed. When sunbathing outdoors, the tanning oil must necessarily be used together with a sunscreen product.
Lotion, Oil, or Cream
The next important factor to consider is the form of the tanning solution. Commonly available forms include lotions, oils, and creams.
- The lotion has a liquid form since it is normally based on water or alcohol. It is quite lightweight and can be quickly absorbed into the skin. It provides a strong moisturizing effect but at the same time does not clog skin pores. Although the lotions may contain some oils, they are still most suitable for oily skin.
- The tanning oils are made on the basis of natural oils and feature a thicker consistency than lotions. The tanning oils create an oily coating on your skin and thereby provide a very effective protection. Certainly, it takes a little longer for them to be fully absorbed by the skin. The tanning oil not only hydrates and nourishes your skin but also offers a plethora of other benefits (depending on its active ingredients). It is generally recommended for normal, combination, and even sensitive skin types. When tanning oil comes in a spray bottle, it greatly facilitates the application process onto the body.
- The cream is a dense thick product that requires thorough massaging into the skin. It generally takes a little more time and effort to apply all over the entire body. Yet, it is suitable for people with dry skin, as it can nourish and hydrate it much better than other forms of skin care products.
Composition
The last but not least factor to take into your consideration, when purchasing a tanning product, is its composition. When it comes to ingredients, every manufacturer tries to offer something unusual to differentiate their product from the many others available on the market. So, every producer aims to create a unique formula, which would ensure a long-lasting and even tan, but not everyone succeeds.
When choosing the tanning oil, look for natural ingredients with no additives, chemicals, or parabens, to avoid the risk of allergic reactions.
Coconut oil has become a fundamental ingredient in many high-quality luxurious products due to its excellent anti-inflammatory and nutritional properties. Aloe extract moisturizes the skin, providing it with invigorating fresh feel after every application (which will be immensely appreciated in the heat of a summer day). Extracts of various fruits are occasionally added to infuse the tanning oil with delicious fragrances and delightful aromas.
FAQ:
Q: Can I play sports or go jogging with the tanning oil?
A: Certainly, there is no reason why you can’t, unless you mind leaving the traces of your T-shirt and shorts on your body. Only the areas that are exposed to the sun (not covered with clothing) will get tanned. Thus, think about the tanning results you desire to get before applying the tanning product.The problem (in this case only, otherwise it is a benefit) is, most of the tanning oils speed up the production of melanin and thereby accelerate the tanning process. Thus, after a few running sessions with tanning boosters, it will be harder to even out your tan. Nevertheless, feel free to join your friends in active and dynamic games on the beach or in the pool.
Q: Can a tanning oil be used for indoor tanning on a sunbed?
A: We would love to say: “Absolutely! These oils were designed specifically for indoor tanning!” However, there is a little ‘but’ that we need to mention. When applying the oil before indoor tanning, you probably need to be aware of the following fact. Some salon owners pitifully complained that the oil breaks and destroys the acrylic layer in the tanning beds, which is ridiculously expensive to restore. Apparently, the manufacturers produced the oil with the customer’s needs in mind, while failing to take into account the destructive impact of the product on the sunbed itself.
However, this is not a dead-end situation: either your perfectly tanned skin or the longevity of the sunbed. We suggest two ways out. The first one is to apply the tanning oil well in advance before the tanning session, say 10-15 minutes, to give it ample time to be absorbed fully into the skin. You can do it in the comfort of your home before your visit to the tanning salon. There will be no trace of it left on your skin surface when you get there. The second option (which does not have to exclude the first one) is to find a beauty salon with a vertical solarium.
Q: Where is it better and healthier to tan indoors or outdoors?
A: When sunbathing outdoors, you are exposing your skin to the invisible UV rays. Note, that there are three types of UV rays: UVA, UVB, and UVC, where the UVAs, that penetrate the skin most deeply, are the ones that may cause serious skin aging and wrinkling. The UVB rays, on the other hand, are known to cause serious skin diseases and even cancer. Therefore, experts recommend sunbathing on the beach only with effective sunscreen protection. However, indoor tanning with the oil that accelerates the tanning process can help you minimize the exposure to the potentially hazardous effects of the UV rays. We believe that moderate exposure to UV rays with smart protection can be beneficial and even desirable.
Q: Are there any health benefits of indoor tanning?
A: Whether indoors or out, tanning is widely known to facilitate the production of vitamin D. However, that is not the only benefit it can provide. The experts say that occasional tanning sessions can help lift your spirits and elevate your moods by promoting the production of the hormone of happiness. Some practitioners even recommend tanning to the patients struggling with the alcoholism or depression. Besides, some scientists believe that regular tanning can prevent osteoporosis, strengthen your bones, as well as minimize the spread of some skin infections.
Q: How long should I stay in a tanning bed?
A: The duration of the tanning session will depend on the strength of the tanning bed as well as the type of your skin. More powerful sunbeds can offer same tanning results in shorter sessions. If you are just starting to tan, your first tanning session should not exceed 3-5 minutes.Gradually, the session length will increase. Yet, the tanning oils will allow you to shorten your tanning sessions and get incredibly tanned skin after the first few visits to a solarium.
Q: What skin care products should I use when tanning?
A: It is advisable to take good care of your skin when tanning either indoors or outdoors. Sunscreen products are a must when sunbathing outdoors. They can be complemented with tanning accelerators and browning oils, such as the ones presented in our review. Apply sunscreen product before going to the beach and leave it for absorption. A quarter of an hour later, supplement it with a tanning oil if you desire to give your skin a gorgeous glow.
It is best to sooth, calm, and rehydrate your skin with an after tanning lotion. There are some products that can reliably seal in the color of your tanned skin at the end of your tanning day for a more durable and long-lasting effect. If tanning on a regular basis, do make sure to keep your skin moisturized and hydrated by using special creams, taking baths with essential oils, or treating yourself to nice relaxing massages with natural oils.
Q: Can I use a baby oil instead of a tanning one?
A: Using a baby oil for tanning can produce disastrous results. It can make your skin fry in the sun instead of tanning. Not to mention, that it can pave the way for various skin diseases and even cancer.
Q: Should I protect my skin when swimming?
A: Absolutely! Any water, be it chlorinated water in the pool or salty water of the ocean, can make your skin tan faster. Do be sure to apply the sunscreen before going for a swim!
