"...Sick of looking in the mirror and seeing a bloated, droopy raccoon staring back? (We’re talking about your eyes, of course.) Fear not, because Beautisol is here. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I love Beautisol self tanning products as much as I love its founder Sinead from Self Tanning Queen..." Read more
"...Formulated for pure sun damage reversal purposes, Beautisol's peptide-packed serum targets collagen creation, wrinkle reduction, and brown spot brightening. Think of it as a heavy-duty replenisher for mature skins who have already seen more than their share of sunny days -- and the after-effects..." Read more & check out Slide #9
"...The peeps from my fave and best self tanner on the market, Beautisol, have expanded their product line with two anti-aging eye products EYE WANT and BRIGHT EYED and I'm mad about them both... I've been testing it for over a month and I DO notice a difference in my crow's feet when I wear it... I am super excited Beautisol is branching out into skincare as they are into high, high, quality, skin safety and results..." Read more
"...I got to experience Beautisol's Eye Want - Crow's Feet Be Gone! and Bright Eyed - No Needles Required!... Together, these are a very effective product. Since using it, I have noticed firming around my eyes and less lines when my face is relaxed. I think with more time, these products are going to make me one happy Mama!..." Read more
"...A lot of men tend to wrinkle pre-maturely around the eyes. A few wrinkles are great for character but too many wrinkles can make you appear much older than you are. The fine folks at Beautisol have created a product, great for treating this area..." Read more
Self-Tanning Products
"...My newest favorite [sunless tanner] is Beautisol All Seasons Glow... The product’s innovative fragrance technology manages to mask this off-putting smell with a pleasant scent that can be best described as fresh laundry... I have tested Beautisol’s tanner on various sections of my body, each sporting a different degree of paleness. Somehow it managed to tint each area of skin exactly one shade darker, without looking too dramatic or even slightly radioactive... Xen-Tan Transform falls short of Beautisol on several counts..." Read more
"...I do not have the time or the babysitter to give myself the luxury of a tanning salon or being poolside. However i still would love to have that sun kissed glow that so many women love. For that i would recommend the gradual tanner... I really loved that there was no harsh smell, was very easy to use and achieved what i wanted. I also loved the convenience and had fun applying it!..." Read more
"...Best of Summer: Beautisol All Seasons Glow – The genius behind Beautisol is their innovative SMELL RIGHT™ fragrance technology... I can personally verify that it’s quite possibly the best smelling tanning product on the market, and it works! Way to go Beautisol!..." Read more
"...I tried their All Seasons Glow and it gave a real subtle wash of color to my skin. It’s a gradual to medium color and the color is totally buildable over a couple of days. Now I’m not great at applying these, especially around the ankles and elbow and I usually end up getting a streaky finish with most of them. But with this one, nothing of the sort! I was quite delighted..." Read more
"...Hard to believe but there is a self tanner out there that actually smells good!... Perfect for all skin types – including pasty white and freckly redhead... They recommend applying with gloves, but my results were stellar while using bare hands. Just scrub em’ like a potato afterwards..." Read more
"...Beautisol All Seasons Glow -- Why We Love It: Paraben free and packed with antioxidants, this bronzer will make your skin healthier – something the sun will never, ever do!..." Read more
"...I was pleasantly surprised – more like shocked, actually – at how close the self-tanning color was to my natural tan... Overall though I was really pleased with how it turned out! It seems to be lasting well, too – several days later I still don’t see any signs of those white strap lines returning. The self-tanning BeautiKit also includes “Go Slough Yourself” exfoliant scrub, to prepare your skin for the self-tanner... I’ve been looking for a good exfoliant scrub for a while, and I was very excited to find one that worked so well!..." Read more
"...Deep down there is a girl inside me that wants to be tan. Beautisol gives you the deep summer glow that you want without the hassles and without that plastic smelling funk. Smell Right technology ensures that you don’t have any funny odor from your new tan...This is a great deal that gives you a beautiful summery look without any guilt!..." Read more
"...Summer is here and I am all about staying out of the skin damaging sun. Beautisol is a San Francisco based company that has created self-tanning products that offer a natural looking tan and they smell great! I tried the Summer Glow Dark Self Tanning Lotion on my face and it gave me a nice, natural and sun kissed look...." Read more
"...I can attest to the fact that even with my very light skin this product did not look orange and was perhaps the most natural artificial tan I have ever had. I really liked this product and will continue to use it..." Read more
"...While there are many and varied self-tanners out there in the market now, Beautisol All Seasons Glow Gradual Self-Tanning Lotion stands out as one of the best ones I've used so far. For me, one of the best features of this lotion is the Smell Right fragrance technology... so there's no longer that pungent and extremely tell-tale odor that gives away the fact that you're using a self-tanner. No one needs to know that your beautiful bronze glow isn't from the sun!..." Read more
"...With so many sunless tanning options available, it's hard to make a decision on how to achieve a faux glow. But Beautisol's self-tanners are one of the best options we've come across yet... We especially love the BeautiKits, which come with instructional DVDs to help ensure a natural looking tan. Preparing for a summer wedding? The company's carat sets are perfect for the bride-to-be..." Read more
"...The saucily named Go Slough Yourself Dual Action Scrub is one of the most thorough exfoliators we've ever encountered. That's largely because it makes sure to really rid skin of dead cells two ways: manually and chemically... The rest of this paraben-free recipe is packed with other healthy ingredients that further prep your skin for a gorgeous, golden glow..." Read more
"...The Summer Glow lotion from Beautisol won us over from the bat with the before & after photos on their website, full of pasty-to-bronze transformations that gave us hope. We started with Beautisol's Go Slough Yourself scrub (exfoliating is a must for even color), and then went to town. Our favorite feature? The lotion itself is dark, which gives you a hint of bronze right away and, more importantly, makes for a fool-proof, splotch-proof application..." Read more
"...Then I finally got my gloved hands on the long awaited debut of the top rated dark tanning lotion SUMMER GLOW FROM BEAUTISOL - which also comes in All Seasons Glow for gradual to medium self-tanning. And let me tell you, I am a very, very happy ever-so-slightly-but-oh-so-naturally sun-kissed mama. HOORAY! It smoothed on without a hitch, smelling terrific along the way, developing slowly and the effect is a day hanging out in the sun in the Spring. It's not an over-the-top obviously fake tan. It looks really, well, REAL. I'm totally sold. LOVIN IT!..." Read more
"...A natural glow is all I asked for and that is just what I received. Easy to instructions in a DVD made the process doable for me. This product is for full body and face application. No need to buy separate face and body sunless lotions!..." Read more
"...Antidote Skin Care [now known as Beautisol™] blew away all other self tanners I have tried. Dare I say it has created a self tanning monster? I was able to try out the All Seasons Glow Gradual Tanning System, and was immediately impressed with the comprehensive set of products and instructions. The kit is sunless tanning for dummies! The end result was a fantastically realistic tan, even on my ridiculously pale skin! I must also say that the website itself and the Self Tanning Queen beauty blog are amazing resources. I was so impressed with the care and time they put into making this process goof proof. Maybe this summer I will be a golden beach babe after all!..." Read more
"...What makes this self tanner different than all the others is it doesn’t give you that unpleasant sunless tanner odor when the color is developing! Beautisol’s innovative SMELL RIGHT fragrance technology actually encapsulates the unpleasant processing odor by up to 80%. A dark guide color gives an immediate bronzing effect while allowing you to see exactly where you’ve applied the product so you can fix any signs of streaking right away. Your summer glow will, with Beautisol, be fortified with powerful antioxidants and anti-aging ingredients to help nourish and hydrate the skin too!..." Read more
"...I loved the DVD! It is very helpful, especially for someone who has no experience tanning. The Self Tan Queen, Sinead Norenius, shows how to apply the tanning lotion onto every part of your body. The end result was an amazing tan. I looked kissed by the sun, odorless and it lasted a few days! ..." Read more
"...When Antidote [now known as Beautisol™] arrived - I was excited to try it - but also very, very skeptical. I used the gloves and was able to do my whole body. I called the hubby in to do my back anyway - just to see what he would say. He was so happy that I 'didn't reek'. The lotion has a tint to it - so it helps you see where you missed and where to blend it in better. I did it on a Tues night - then again on Thursday night because I liked it so much... Antidote [now known as Beautisol™] does just what it claims - delivers a great deep, dark, even tan, with zero nasty smell! What more can you ask for?!?!? I love it!" Read more

"...Now that 2009 has come to an end, it is time to reveal our Editor’s Choice picks for the year or, in other words, my personal favorites... Antidote Skin Care [now known as Beautisol™] Summer Glow Tanning System is by far the best self- tanning product that I have tried. This system allows me to take my extremely fair skin to a deep bronze without streaking or looking at all unnatural. And the best part is that it is completely free of that notorious self-tanner stink..." Read more
"...For at least two decades, we’ve been crying out for better self-tanning formulas. We want a friendly fragrance, one that doesn’t smell like burnt flesh or like we’ve just spent an afternoon in the petting zoo at the county fair. We want color that isn’t orange. We want, and we want. I’ve tried brands that came close, and I mean really close- two of my favorites are ALMOST there and I love them for it. But along comes a new line out of nowhere, Antidote [now known as Beautisol™]. They’ve nailed it! In my opinion, they’ve beat every mass US brand who have tried their hands at sunless tanners to the punch..." Read more
"...This self-tanner totally stands out from the crowd. It’s now my all-time favorite – actually, it’s the first one I’ve ever liked. It quickly provides color that looks really natural, doesn’t have that horrible self-tanner smell, is cruelty-free, and has an eco-friendly formula free of parabens, and propylene glycol. I was able to see results after just one application and didn’t smell awful in the process..." Read more
"...And so, I'll be the first to admit that I've been slow to accept fall and have been somewhat longing for the warmth of summer. Well, what I won't have issues with, as we move into fall, is keeping up a bronzy glow- whenever I choose, since having tried Antidote Skin Care’s [now known as Beautisol™] Dark Tanner..." Read more
"...I was pleasantly surprised by the smell—or lack there of. While there’s a slight fresh laundry scent, there’s no lingering chemical fumes that cause co-workers to shoot you dirty looks during a meeting... The green color is a little frightening but it produces a subtle, natural looking glow that hasn’t rubbed off on my clothing. Now all I need is a bigger bottle so I can remain vampire free for the rest of winter..." Read more
"...Antidote Skin Care [now known as Beautisol™] Summer Glow Dark Self-Tanning Lotion has a chocolate syrup color that can be intimidating to the fair and light skinned, but the guide color that seems so deep is actually one of the great features of this product. The guide color makes application fool-proof, because no missed spot will go unnoticed..." Read more
"...The thing about Antidote [now known as Beautisol™] is that give you DIRECTIONS with their products…as in, put this many pumps of product here. and here. and here. The results are phenom…because getting good results with a self tanning product can be as much about technique as it is actual product! All Seasons Glow gave me a beautiful glow…it was a tad bit darker than the drugstore graduals I’ve used in the past so it only took me 2 applications to get the color I needed…minus the drugstore stink!" Read more
"...The star product, most definitely, would be Summer Glow. First, the good stuff: it’s packed with powerful anti-oxidants, anti-aging ingredients and oils to hydrate and nourish the skin. Last but not least, it is paraben- propylene glycol- and cruelty free. Sinead did say she wanted to create a line her blog readers would love, and well, I think she’s done it..." Read more
"...I happen to have a mini obsession with ultra pale skin (just ask Ana!) so I never thought I'd love self-tanner, but it's pretty amazing stuff. Who knew a tan could make my flabby legs look leaner and more toned?..." Read more
"...Within the hour we could see a color difference that looked like a natural golden brown tan. I was so surprised at how natural it looked that I used it the next day on my legs. My skin looked beautifully tanned as if I had vacationed in St. Tropez! It delivers an incredibly natural-looking sunless tan. What is so unique about this product is that you get results! You don't get that burnt microwave skin smell nor will your skin look like you bathed in carrot juice. I am completely sold on this lotion! Seriously folks, this stuff really works..." Read more
"...I do a fairly rushed job of applying the tan so expect there'll be some streaking. Nope, it goes on smoothly; and being based on a deep brown tone rather than having an orange base, the color is natural looking..." Read more
"...Much as I love to complain at times (haha), there is not one thing that I dislike about Antidote Skin Care [now known as Beautisol™]. It is far better than any sunless tanner I've ever used. I love that it doesn't streak at all, and it looks very natural. Plus, it smells really good..." Read more
"...The tan went on surprisingly smoothly and smelled delicious which was a surprise! I sat for a few hours letting it dry and then went to bed. I was AMAZED when I woke up! I wasn’t sickly pale or bright orange. I was gorgeously tanned and I looked skinnier too! Who would have thought! The tan didn’t rub off, and didn’t even fade in my morning shower. My boyfriend and family are all very impressed, and I simply love it..." Read more
"...The next morning I had a great glow when after my shower! It was actually natural looking, a great light bronze color. Oh, and did I mention there was no smell? I'm expecting to see this on many a "Best of 2009" list. Check it out if you need a new self tanner..." Read more
"...This is a truly exceptional self tanner — and has surpassed my list of favorite self tanners, skyrocketing to the #1 spot! I was immediately in love with the color that resulted. The first time I used it, I didn’t want to take a shower, in fear that the gorgeous, dark color would rinse off. But guess what? It stayed dark and luscious for 8 days. This system is superior. Aficionado gives this an A..." Read more
"...The lotion is somewhat pigmented so you can see what you are doing. It doesn't have to look perfect - as long as you are covered, you will be good to go. Then wait a few minutes and get dressed. Voila! Several hours later, your tan will develop and you will look bronze and gorgeous. And there isn't a hint of nasty self-tanner smell!..." Read more
"...Are you ready for a better way to tan, without the high price (or risk of cancer)? Sinead Norenius, the Self Tanning Queen herself (and author of the Self Tanning Queen blog!), created Antidote Skin Care’s [now known as Beautisol™] line of self tanning products based off of feedback she received about what was lacking from tanning products on the market today. After finding the perfect tan shade, Sinead eliminated all the “yucky stuff,” like parabens, propylene glycol, sodium laureth (and that bad smell)! And on top of that, Antidote’s [now known as Beautisol™] products are cruelty-free!..." Read more
"...It’s no secret that Fall is upon us. No more hanging at the poolside soaking up all that vitamin D! But don’t worry, you don’t have to take a vacation to Hawaii to get your tan back. Antidote Skin Care [now known as Beautisol™] has developed high quality and environmentally conscious self-tanning products. You can find a series of videos on the website, for tips and tricks on how to apply the sunless tanners so you can achieve the perfect tan every single time you use the products..." Read more
"...The tan I got seems to last awhile, a least a week I think. It wasn’t streaky at all either... This is a great, very natural looking self tanner. It does take some time and concentration to apply it correctly, but the effort is worth the payoff – a gorgeous tan without the cancer..." Read more
"...'Use a dry wash cloth to buff areas like the elbows, knees and heels where the self-tanner tends to grab a lot of product,' adds Sinead Norenius, a 14-year-licensed aesthetician who has worked in the skin care industry for years... 'OxyClean is your best friend when it comes to brightening your clothes,' says Norenius. It can also help when your clothes are stained by your tanning agent. 'In case some of the guide color rubs off onto your whites, use it,' Norenius advises..." Read more
"...I absolutely loved the scent of this lotion... very, very subtle scent not overpowering at all. Very nice, considering almost all other self tanners I have tried smell gross or the scent turns gross after a couple hours... So, immediately after I put the lotion on, my skin was bronzed and sunkissed looking, I looked like I just came from a wonderful vacation!... I seriously love this sunless tanning lotion!" Read more
"...Fake a sun-kissed glow: After exfoliating, get a beautiful summer glow, sans the sun damage, pricey airfare, and exorbitant hotel rate with the Antidote [now known as Beautisol™] Summer Glow System. It includes self-tanning lotion, scrub, gloves, and an instructional DVD – everything you need for natural, gorgeous color..." Read more
"...Getting an island glow from the comfort of your home is a great way to change up your look without an expensive vacation or harmful rays...For an at-home application that’s close to a glow you could snag in St. Tropez, check out Antidote Skin Care’s [now known as Beautisol™] line of sunless tanning products..." Read more
"...I had the opportunity to try out the Summer Glow + Go Slough Yourself, and I was quite impressed! Since I avoid laying out in the sun or hitting the tanning beds, I'm ghastly fair for someone who is mixed. So I was thrilled to try out this sunless tanning system! I was a bit surprised that this kit included gloves, because one thing I hate about most sunless tanners is getting the product on my hands and having orangeish looking palms after using the product...It is far better than any sunless tanner I've ever used..." Read more
"...However, I never found one that didn’t have the awful, strong scent that reminds one of copper pennies mixed with dirty socks…A company called Antidote Skin Care [now known as Beautisol™] I believe has found the best answer to an inoffensive olfactory experience in the realm of self tanning, the best I’ve tried so far in that sense..."
