GIVEAWAY – Review, Photos, Ingredients: Neutrogena MicroMist Airbrush Sunless Self Tan — Safe, Effective Tanning Alternative
Sun tanning or simply tanning is the process of darkening or tanning the skin. The process is most often a result of exposure from the sun. Many people deliberately tan their skin by exposure to the sun, called “sunbathing.” Lighter skin tone colors mostly prefer tanning. The bronzed, shimmery skin after a tan looks glam, but, in recent years, artificial tanning methods gained popularity due to the the sunburn and skin cancer cases.
A recent report by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, (IARC), part of the World Health Organization, concludes that tanning devices, like tanning beds, are more dangerous than previously thought, as also stressed by the FDA. Exposure to UV radiation, whether from the sun or indoor tanning beds, can cause:
- Skin cancer
- Skin burns
- Premature skin aging
- Eye damage (both short- and long-term)
So, what we do now? How we can obtain a shimmery, bronzed look as if we just returned from beach without harming our skin? It’s possible now! Many sunless tanners are available on the market. You can have your sun-kissed skin just by sitting at home. I tried Neutrogena MicroMist Airbrush Sunless Tan ($9.99); it applies like a professional airbrush spray for a worry-free application resulting in a just-back-from-the-beach tan.
The bronzed, shimmery skin we all strive for
This ultra-fine, hands-free mist spreads evenly on the application surface enabling a flawless suntan on your hands, legs and even back as it works at any angle. No mess, no rub!
Apply to freshly cleansed, exfoliated skin. You can scrub your skin before spraying. Use in a well ventilated area. Hold the spray at least 6-inches away from your body and sweep evenly across the desired area to tan, keeping the can in constant motion. Stop spraying at the end of each stroke to avoid over application. Apply sparingly around rough skin like elbows, knees and ankles as these areas generally are darker than you limbs.
For face, spray into hands and apply to face. Do not forget to wash your hands with soap and water immediately after use. Your sunless tan will begin to develop in two to four hours and last for days. Reapply as needed to maintain or deepen color. This oil-free, alcohol-free, non-comedogenic product contains:
Water, Dimethyl Ether, Witch Hazel Water (Hamamelis Virginiana), Ethoxydiglycol, Dihydroxyacetone, Dipropylene Glycol, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Isoceteth-20, Methyl Gluceth-20, Glycereth- 7, Propylene Glycol, Diazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Sodium PCA, Citric Acid, Fragrance.
The product is available in two different tints: Deep (3 shades darker than your skin tone ) and Medium (2 shades darker than your skin tone).
Now, random streaks, missed spots and orange palms are a thing of the past. So girls, enjoy your warm summer days with worry-free tanning. Get gorgeous bronzed skin this year, the safe way. For more information visit www.neutrogena.com.

I love Sevin Nyne tanner! It smells great. I’m definitely willing to give this a try, though.
would love to try it
i recently used the look good naked tanning towels. i was freaked cause i thought for sure id have the orange smudged look but it actually worked pretty well. it didnt last long though.
Ive been using Hawaiian tropics golden shimmer self tanner
I’ve tried different sunless tanning creams before, but they streaked. I think would be simpler to use
I have only used Tan Towels in the past and have been thinking of trying something different.
I’ve tried Jergens Natural Glow, but I’ve always wanted to try a spray formula.
i really don’t use any tanning stuff just lay out in my back yard but this a product that looks interesting to try…
I’ve tried Jergens Natural Glow and it works pretty decent. I’d much prefer a spray version because it would go on like a tanning oil but would probably dry very quickly. I’d like that a lot better.
I want to try the spray …..
I recently tried L’oreal Sublime glow
The only thing i”ve tried lately is the Jergens Natural Glow & Protect. I want to try the spray versions though I feel like it might be a quicker fix especially for a hot date!
I have only used lotion that produces a gradual subtle tan before. Would love to try something new.
Dove energy glow is the most recent one I tried. It was a bit streaky and uneven, but I wanted to try it to see how it worked.
Best Tanning Spray. I use it every day on my face.
I haven’t been trying anything lately, Bur the sun, I dont tan easily so this would soo help. Thank you
I’ve heard this is a superior product. That it looks natural and goes on evenly and never looks orange-y. I would love to have the change to try it! I would spread the word if it was awesome!
I’ve been using mostly powder kind but i really wanna try a spray bronzer.
I’ve been using NYC Sunny powder bronzer for face. I’ve used the Jergens Glow lotion before and liked it. thanks for the giveaway.
I’ve recently tried Mally Beauty Visible Skin Bronzer, would love to be able to mist and go!
I have used Tan Towels and have had good luck with them but would like to try a spray tanner.

I have used Tan Towels and Jergens Natural Glow.
I have used L’OREAL Sublime… I would use the medium shade!
Jergens Natural Glow is my current tanner.
this product is great!
I’m currently using both Jergens Natural Glow Express and L’Oreal Sublime Bronze. They work okay but a spray on tanner would be better. I’m not a fan of having brownish stains between my fingers (when I forget to wash them well).
I hope the spray fan works! I Need some color in my life
I’ve tried Loreal sublime. I love sunless tanner. Referred friends
I’m still afraid of self tanners after too many streaky experiences. I’m using Estee Lauder matte bronzer. Maybe it’s time to give it another try.
I haven’t been using anything lately.
I have used Jergens, but honestly i do not like the lingering smell.
I have used Clinique and Bare Minerals self tanner. Also, shared on facebook
shared and tried Alba!
I tried Jergens Natural Glow.
Jergens Natural Glow Thanks for the chance.
I’m using Sally Hansen’s Airbrush Legs in Tan Glow all over my body. It’s way too shimmery though.
I use self tanner’s all the time – I use clarins on my face and jergens on my body – have never tired a spray on – wonder how it works – thanks for the chance. I would try the medium – dark might be too much for me
I have tried Jergens gradual tan lotion which is not bad but just a lot of work. I like the idea of a spray tanner because it will be easier to apply and more even coverage.
I use Jergens Natural Glow, but I don’t always feel that it gives me a natural color!
i tried clarins delectable self tanner on my face and the effect was minimal. i’m really pale so maybe that’s why! i would love to win this and try it!

St Tropez Bronzing Mousse.
I’ve used L’Oreal Sublime Bronze and Mary Kay Subtle Tanning Lotion. I like the instant color of L’Oreal, but best-smelling is hands down Mary Kay. I’d be interested to try a spray. I shared y’all on my facebook!
I’ve tried Bare Essentials, terrible, you look dirty, and Tan Towels, which work good, as long as you don’t over do them. But I’ve never tried a spray, which would actually work great for me, because I’m disabled, and can’t reach anywhere easily, and asking for help to self tan is just not an option for me.
Usually use Vicotria Secret Beach Sexy
I’ve used L’Oreal Sublime Bronze in the past, but I’m pale as a ghost now!
I have never tried self tanning but always wanted to!
HAVEN’T TRIED ANY RECENTLY
I’ve recently used Jergen’s Natural Glow lotion and St. Tropez Bronzing Lotion. Both were great, and I hope I get a chance to try the Neutrogena spray too!
I have never used a bronzer OR self-tanning product but I desperately need to!
i have tried just bronzer recently….
I would like to try this because I’m guilty of going to tanning beds.
I would love to find a product that doesn’t hurt me.Thanks for the chance.I want to break this bad habit.
I just use the neutrogena sunblock and let it all be natural! But I would love to try a tanning spray!
The only tanner I have used was Jergens!
I am very fair and I would love to win this and try it.
I have tried Jergens Natural Glow before, and I just bought some stuff from Victoria’s Secret Beach Sexy line, although I haven’t tried it yet. I do not tan easily, and I have had trouble in the past finding anything that looks natural. Hopefully this will be a good product for me to use. Thank you! I liked and shared on Facebook earlier today!
Hopefully this is a true giveaway! I am always happy to get free samples! Thanks!
