As a fitness model and competitor I need to have a tanned complexion year. To find a tanning method that won't harm my skin and looks natural is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I finally found the only self-tanner I will use that hydrates my skin and gives me the most sun-kissed golden brown skin.
I used to think the only way to get a golden, natural looking tan was to use the tanning bed. The harmful rays were taking their toll on my skin so I had to stop. I tried Mystic Tan, which was not natural looking and was uneven. Drugstore brands were even worse and smelled awful! I applied them daily and still didn't achieve a tanned look that I was happy with - I was throwing money out the window.
Someone suggested Famous Dave's Tanner. I thought I had nothing to lose so I ordered some. I was relieved that it was fragrance-free and that it applied evenly. That day I noticed a natural looking tan starting to develop. I even applied it to my face, which I couldn't do with other tanning lotions.
I am a disciple of Dave's Tanner now, I won't use anything else!

I just have to add my testimonial. I was highly recommended this product on the Cathe Friedrich forums, along with of a bunch of others, I made the purchase. I am a customer for life. I do tan in the spring here in Michigan but I want to get away from the tanning beds but nothing was working until I received yours yesterday and I applied it last night. Now I had stopped tanning so I could let my color fade. I even wore white to bed to test the rubbing off. I got up this morning and WOW! no color rubbed off and my color was better than coming out of the tanning salon. It is a natural glowing bronze color. I even applied it to my face with a makeup sponge and I have dry/sensitive skin. There was no breakouts, no scrathy feel or itching or heavy feel. It was just like I put my night moisturizer on.
Thank you I am looking forward to tanning year round safely!
Beth The story I put in my blog is true…my sister in law's tan looked great thanks to you!
I just wanted to rave on your self tanner!!!! It is fantastic! I have used all kinds of self tanner's lotions, sprays, etc.- all brands from inexpensive to expensive - this is BY FAR the best!! Finally fantastic color without the work. I got so tired of self tanners with colors guides - great to help get them on but then what?? I had to get an extra set of sheets so as to not ruin my good sheets. I was so sick of it and felt hopeless to never find a great self tanner that did not have a color guide. Well I am so happy to be wrong - your tanner has the best color, goes on like a dream - NO SMELL!!! It is the simplest self tanner I have ever used. I wish I tried it years ago. Now self tanning is no longer a chore! I just bought a travel size one too so that I can bring it with me on vacation!! I will be a life long customer! Thanks Dave!
Sincerely, Christine
Hi! I found it hard to believe that a product that claimed to be so great wasn't available everywhere. If it's so fabulous, why not mass market to everyone, everywhere? Well, I am believer!! It took 3 applications to get the darker color I wanted, but when I did my god was I hot!! Absolutely the best self tanner I tried. Just like a lotion, so easy to apply, really has no smell out of the bottle AT ALL. Does get a very mild tanner smell as it develops, but much less noticable than any other brand. Very nice, natural and beautiful color. I will never try another tanner, ever again. Famous Dave, you are a fabulous man. Thank you
Crystal
Hello; I received the self tanner, almost like hand delivered shipping it was so fast and will leave great feed back. I used it this morning and can not believe no smell.
Thank Karen I had melanoma three times and I can't go in the sun anymore but I love a nice looking tan and this stuff really is great. Thanks for keeping the price low. I will keep buying this from you.

Hello Dave. I bought your self tanning lotion a few weeks back and just tried it last night on my arms just so I could see how the product worked me. It's everything that you and your customers have been saying. I'm in my 40's and been a lover of the tanning booth since I started in my 20's. I realized this year that I needed to stop destroying my skin with the tanning beds I was noticing my skin was getting dyer and the signs of wrinkles were appearing. I saying to myself and stressing wondering what I was going to do to still get that tanned look without the sun or tanning booth. I've tried other self tanners is the past and never liked any of them. They all made you look orange and fake and the smell was worse than the results. I was worried I would get the same results with your production, but I was completely wrong and surprised. There is barely a smell at all, only when applying but gone afterwards and you don't end up smelling yourself all day long like the other products. When I woke up in the morning I could see a natural light brown color and NOT ORANGE! I think I have found my new best friend. I'm looking forward to trying it on my legs. I will buy this product again and tell all my friends about it. Thank you for creating a great product.
Just received my sample product yesterday. Fast!!!
The moisture tan is fabulous!!! Doesn't streak and looks natural. I will be definitely ordering more!!!
Thanks! Barbara
I want to thank you for taking the extra time whenever I have needed it. Great to have you out there. If there's anything else I can write to help you let me know. I am hoping those with GA come forward...it really does make enough of a difference to have some relief.
Sincerely; Eileen
I have used Dave's Tanner for about 3 years and I am very happy with it. No odor,streaking or bad coloring. I have a skin disorder(GA) and am very sensitive to some lotions bmorningut this has no adverse affect. It also helps hide some of the areas so I am comfortable without sleeves! Thanks so much!

I just want you to know that I LOVE this self tanner. I have used many others including the really expensive ones, and the thing I hate the most is the smell. Famous Dave's has a very low odor. I also love the natural tan look I get from his product. I am a very fair skinned blonde, and always hated the streaky, orange look on my skin, clothes and sheets. I can dress a few minutes after applying Famous Dave's, and not have it wear off on my clothes or furniture. I bought this product on eBay, and can't wait to order more. I even had my mom try it, and she is a fair skinned redhead with freckles..it looked very natural on her as well. Thanks for offering a product that does what it says it will do. I am so glad I don't have to go to a tanning bed anymore.
Sincerely, Christina M.
I just wanted to tell you how much I LOVE your self tanners. I have had 3 pre-melanomas removed, so "sun" tanning is NOT an option. I am very fair and the color of your self tanning lotion is perfect. But the best features are: that it dries quick and is absolutely not sticky & has virtually no smell! Fabulous!!!
Many thanks!

Hi Dave,
Just wanted to let you know I LOVE your self-tanner! I found out about your products from "Rae" on the Oxygen magazine fitness forum. She recommended your product, then later mentioned that you are her sponsor. It's one of the best self-tanners (possibly THE best) I've used and now I'm recommending it too!
Take Care, Diana R.
I am a return buyer. This will be my fourth order now, this stuff works great. I ran out about two weeks ago and I haven't been using it. My legs look horrible, they are dry and colorless. Thanks for this amazing lotion. I have tried everything before, and this is the only stuff that really works without the stink and with out the orange.
Thanks again, I will have color for Christmas.
Best regards, Carol
I just wanted to let you know that your self tanner gives the most natural tan than any other sunless tanner I have tried. It also is the least smelling of the typical self tanners. I love how it dries so fast. I am very happy to have found a good self tanner. Thank You.
Heidi
I have bought several of the moisture tan for my daughter and myself. When I bought her the first bottle of it and she had used it all, she called me and asked me to order her another one. She said that it gave her the most natural tan ever and that she had gotten quite a lot of compliments. She used to be a believer in tanning beds but no more, thank goodness. For myself, I do love the moisture tan but also bought a bottle of the spray tan. I put it in a small spray bottle of my own and now I alternate the two using one then the other every day or so. I love the even look that both of them give me but the spray tan gives me a darker look that looks very natural. Thanks for the great product.

Dave:
I've been using self tanners for over 20 years. Some work great, some suck. The biggest problem is the "orange glow" most provide. After a week at a t ropical resort with daily applications, my wife finally says, "please don't use any more of the self-tanner, you are orange!"
Now I have found the true solution. The moisture product goes on smooth, and within a few hours I have a BROWN tan, not orange. I have red hair and freckles, but your product blends my skin an evenly bronze color year round. You can darken up as much as you want with repeated applications or you can go light and get a slight tan in a single application. It lasts for about five days (with showering!). It turns skin as dark as you want with repeated and regular applications and even turns lighter features (e.g. moles, nipples, etc) a brown color for a more mainstream and sexy effect. Please keep making this product, it is wonderful!

Hi! I hope this is the place to leave feedback. I have placed a second order with you because I am AMAZED at how well your self tanner works! I am blond and very fair. I used the Dave's Self Tanner and the Moisture Self Tanner this summer. I can't tell you how many people thought I had been away to some far off island on holiday. You can only imagine the look on their faces when I told them it was a self tanner. No orange color, no streaks, no smell. Since the tanning effect was very deep, I am now ordering your product for fair skinned people. Am hoping it will not be too dark, just a nice golden glow for the cooler months ahead. Thank you for such a wonderful product. I will be using it for years to come.

Hi Dave,
I am bone white and covered in freckles and age spots. But your Fair Skin and Face product is my salvation. Just ordered more. I've been self-tanning since 1983 and can't believe I've finally found a product that is the perfect color for me, has no smell and doesn't tranfer. It will now be an essential part of my cosmetics all year round. Thank you, Dave!

I love your tanner. I can't believe it really doesn't smell! I have a question/suggestion, though. I am travelling to Australia in about a month for 2 weeks and want to take some tanner with me. Can I put some in a travel container or will exposure to air ruin it? Last time I travelled, I put the whole bottle in a ziploc bag but it made a huge mess because I couldn't close the bottle. My suggestion is that you make a travel size. Your stuff is so good, I want to take it with me everywhere! Thanks so much!
Amy
BEST SELF TAN IN THE WORLD EVER!!! EVERYONE KEEPS ASKING ME HAVE I BEEN ON HOLIDAY OR HAVE I BEEN ON THE SUN BED!!! ABSOLUTELY NOT THIS IS A CANCER FREE WAY OF GETTING A GREAT TAN!!! THANKS FAMOUS DAVE!!! Nicola
Hi
I just started using your products and to be honest, I am totally blown away. I'm used to waiting around in the buff for 20 mins before even thinking about putting my clothes on after applying other self-tan products, and tend to use them before going to bed because the smell is so terrible. I picked up my first bottle of "Fair skin and face" this morning from the local postal depot on my way to work and out of curiosity, decided to test it out when I got there.
Wearing a suit and WHITE shirt, I popped into the staff toilet, applied your product and amazingly was "good to go" in the time it took to put my shirt back on. AMAZING ....and NO SMELL!! Only one request, as I am VERY fair I wondered if you could sell "2 packs" or "3 packs" bottles of "Fair Skin" at a reduced rate combo on your website like you do with "Moisture Tan". This would save me from ordering them individually as I intend to use this for more than just my face.
Thanks again for a GREAT product !!!!

I have to say that this is absolutely the best tanning product or lotion for that matter that I have ever tried. I have very sensitive skin and through many years I have wasted alot of money. I was very apprehensive at first to use Dave's Tanner but I read several of the testimonies which are posted and thought "Why not." Much to my surprise I did not break out in a really bad rash like I do with most tanners and lotions that I have tried. This is the absolute best! It says fragrance free and it is which truly surprised me.
At first I thought this product was a little pricey but to tell you the truth it really isn't because I am able to use it. This product I won't just use a time or two then discard the rest. I will use both bottles and then purchase more.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful product.
Judy
Not a question...just wanted to say your product is FABULOUS!!!! Thanks!!!
OK thank you ! I appreciate your quick response... I love this stuff... It doesn't have that terrible scent... also it stays on when you get showered. The other stuff I was using would wash off in the shower.. I looked great till the water hit and washed the bronzer off that showed you where you put the lotion. You don't need that if you apply it with care. Thank you so much for such a great product... I will be a life member! I no longer go to the tanning bed.. I can do this at home and get my work done!
Thanks again!
Cheryl Gober
I wanted to say thank you for such an affordable product that works. I really never can tan, or receive a tan, and because of this I'm self conscious. But after one use, I already feel better about myself. Even tough spots that never tan even using other self tanners such as under my eyes and my forearms look incredible. You made it happen. Thanks for helping me achieve a look that I love.

Hi Dave
Yes, I did receive my order last week and I have been using it ever since. I am very happy with the self tanner for fair skin - I have never had a tanner that gave such great color without that horrible smell - it's great.
Thanks!

Brilliant product, does exactly what it says, and is the only self tan that does not bring me out in an allergic rash - no perfume!! Excellent!
Lynne R
I left you a review because I was happy with your sell! Now that I have received the product, I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!! Unbelievable tan! You're God to me now!!!
I'm a redhead, so you can imagine that I have VERY fair skin! I've tried every tanner on the market and ended up the color of my hair. With the Fair Skin & Face, my skin is actually T-A-N! Loves it!! Thanxs a bunch for the honest product!
