I am on the newer side when it comes to self-tanning. I remember how orange and smelly it used to be and never really got into it. Now that I really try to protect my skin and not expose myself to harmful UV rays, self-tanning seemed more appealing. I first tried out Tanologist last summer on a whim after seeing it in Target. I had pretty good results and did buy a few more items from the line and now it’s turned into quite the collection. Ulta just picked up the remaining items in the Tanologist line and I had to try them. I’d also like to point out that this post isn’t sponsored and I’ve purchased all the products myself.

SELF TAN ERASER + PRIMER – $15
Skin need a fresh start? Start all over again with the foaming self-tan eraser & primer.
The multi-use formula can be used as an eraser OR a pre-tan primer/exfoliating treatment. Let’s break it down:
- ERASER: Effectively removes remnants of self-tan & conditions skin. For optimum results apply to dry skin at least 3 days after initial tan application.
- PRE-TAN PRIMER: 3% vegan glycolic acid and deeply exfoliates & primes skin creating the ultimate tanning canvas.
This extra hydrating foaming mousse is the easiest way to remove traces of tan and prime skin for a fresh application. Powered by vegan glycolic acid to gently cleanse and resurface without stripping the skin. This is great if you need to take off your old tan or if you had a couple mistakes you need to fix up.
SELF TAN DROPS MEDIUM – $20
I love these drops. I usually do ~3 drops in my moisturizer at night on my face and neck after using the mousse on my body. Just be sure to wash your hands afterward!
Designed to be mixed with your skincare, makeup, or body care, the drops are easy to apply & 100% customizable. This flexible formulation is perfect for both newbies & experienced tanners. There are so many ways to glow from just one bottle. The more drops you add = the darker your tan. Getting that vacay bronze has never been easier!
Using 2-12 drops, you can choose the level of glow you wanna go. Formulated to minimize the chance of breakouts, these hardworking drops give a glowing complexion with less stress. Using our Self-Tan Drops will brighten, soften and hydrate with our skin-saving trio of Pink Grapefruit, Goji Berry & Juniper. The non-comedogenic formula works with your existing skincare and can be used on both face & body.
SELF-TAN WATER MEDIUM – $17
This was the first self-tanner I tried EVER. I saw it at Target and decided to try it on a whim. It actually worked pretty well and it didn’t look too orange. My application definitely needed some work, though. I have since figured out that I prefer using the water to mist my hands and feet instead of just using a mit. I find that it looks a lot better this way and the mousse is easier for the rest of the body.
No color guide means:
- No blocked pores
- No drying effect on the skin
- No tan-transfer onto sheets or clothes
SELF TAN MOUSSE MEDIUM – $17
The mousse has grown to be my tried and true. It goes on clear and doesn’t stain my bedding, which is crucial. I use a mit to apply all over the body, with the exception of my face. I usually do two coats and leave on overnight. It’s not a super dark tan but still adds some color and looks natural, which works for me!
The transparent water-to-foam formula is the easiest way to achieve an all-over, flawless bronze. The lightweight foam glides onto the skin – for a tan that’s both fast-drying & mess-free. Once developed, your glow will last up to one week and fades evenly like your suntan would. Each bottle is express, so for a light glow, wash off after 2 hours. For the deepest bronze max it out overnight before showering.
