Spray Tan Review – Black Magic 2 Hour Tan (Dark)

Black Magic 2 Hour Tan (Dark)

Pros: 2 hour solution, beautiful natural colour, easy to remove.
Cons: The colour guide makes you look like a zombie who has rolled around in newspaper.
The final verdict: The best express tan I have come across.

This tan is somewhat peculiar and I must admit I had doubts the first time I ever tried it. Like no other tan I have ever come across, the solution is sprayed on as a grey mist. Yes, you look like a dead person; however the best thing about it is that you only need to leave it on for 2 hours before showering off the residue. Magically, your skin slowly develops into a beautiful golden tan over 6-8 hours even though the solution is already gone! This has added benefits such as no lingering smell and the ability not only to go out in public, but also wear any type of clothes without fear of tan residue rubbing onto them or the clothes rubbing your tan off. Furthermore the rapid DHA is claimed to have anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties which we’re not complaining about!

Although the solution is intended to be left on for 2 hours, you can leave it on for up to 4 hours if you want a deeper colour (recommended for those who are DHA-resistant), however there is a warning from the manufacturer not to leave it on for longer than 6 hours. The tan lasts a good 7-10 days and fades beautifully, with no patching at all. And, just when you thought this tan couldn’t get any better, it was incredibly easy to remove in a hot shower with only body wash and an exfoliating glove. There are certainly some express tan solutions on the market which are extravagantly priced that simply don’t deliver in terms of colour and quality, however this is definitely not one of them. Easily my favourite express solution, it is not to be overlooked.
