i think it smells like armpits....deoderant doesnt even help really.
It's so true!
I usually try to put sented moisturizer on top of it, I use "Forever After" by hawaian tropic. Still smells a bit weird but it usually helps
A shower?





I feel like I smell like cookies whenever I fake tan. But yucky cookies. I wear buttercream body spray to work and that seems to make it smell less disgusting.
I babywipe under my arms them spray with deoderant and then drown myself in perfume.
Even then I repeat this routine like every time I come off stage.

I've been using the CVS brand spray fake tanner (its a generic of Neutrogenas). It has a babypowder scent which seems to cover up the smell better than anything I've found so far. I'm not crazy about baby powder but it is a whole lot better than that burnt BO scent of DHA.
Bonus - It isn't moisturizing and goes on like water so you can apply a crapload and get super dark and it still only takes about 5 min to dry COMPLETELY.







Well, I mix my self tanner with a teeny bit of Victoria's secret scented lotion. (I use Loreal Sublime bronzer and Jergens)
A lot of the newer tanning lotions have "stuff" in them so you don't smell like you just got done tanning. I like to use CT seven, and Ambrosia....I know for a fact that both of those won't make you stink after you tan.





i mean.. why CAN'T you take a shower? i wouldnt put self tanner on and then go to work. why not put it on in the morning or something and then shower before work so you DON'T smell it? that at least lessens the smell...
Modelco tan I find has the least offensive odour. It's my new dream product. No tan B/O! It still has a bit of a smell but its more like vanilla.

I heard SUN by sun laboratories doesn't stink. I haven't tried it yet. This stand up booth I get misted on called Sun Spirit doesn't stink that much either. For the self tanners that do smell, I don't know if anything will counteract them. Honestly, I sometimes still smell the stuff after I've taken a very thorough shower.





i HATE that smell. ugh!!!
Also, airbrush tanning solution has less DHA smell than lotions. If you're of a mind to make a DIY build-a-tan lotion, just buy a bottle of regular lotion (without exfoliating or slimming ingredients, like AHA acid) and a bottle of airbrush tanning solution (I really like Aviva Labs) and mix one part solution to 3 parts lotion. It's actually cheaper than buying the branded lotions and works just as well.
mystic fresh spray...? but i have not tried it, i just spray myself with body spray a lot

i was going to suggest this product, it's great!...here's a link to purchase:
http://www.amazon.com/California-Tan...4156286&sr=8-2
and for tanning lotions that you use in the beds, these are great, and they don't streak bronzers.

the new neutrogena sun fresh self tanner doesn't smell hardly at all. i just got it and tried it.
