If I could give this 1000 stars I would.
I am a fair skinned redhead as is my daughter. I got this after doing my research on what the best tanner is for skin like ours and my daughter was dead set that she was not going to try self tanner and look like the girls at her school.
I showed her what I am assuming is the owner and her tiktok videos. My daughter reluctantly tried it and LOVES IT!!! She was so much more confident in her dress for homecoming and she couldn't stop looking at her legs saying "so this is what its like to be tan huh?!"
I am so happy we found Busy Babe and I am so excited for her and I to try their other products!
pros: So easy to apply
doesnt streak
doesnt smell
doesnt come off on my clothes
natural looking tan once developed
cons:
smallish bottle compared to some drugstore brands
not as dark as some tans (but this is the lightest formula and that is what I like personally)
If you are looking for the darkest spray tan, maybe this color is not for you but if you are looking for a natural looking tan and don't want it to smell or streak, this is perfect for you.
Took forever to develop but i really love the result. Pretty color. Even tan all over. My hands and feet look legit tan with no areas looking heavier than others. I think im a fan and Im def going one shade darker for end of summer! Busy Babes nailed it!!
My order arrived much quicker than expected! I was really excited to try it after seeing some good reviews on social media. It went on very smoothly. I love the mitt that comes with it for application. I tested a small area first and it looks amazing. It was a nice golden color, very even. I am so happy I tried it!
Golden hour is the best of the best for my very very pale skin. I've tried other self tanners and they've all turned me orange. This brand was definitely made with people like me in mind.
This product has become part of my weekly glow up routine. I am so happy I found this brand. I was using other tanning lotions prior and never felt they faded even. I hated the splotchy look.
My experience with this company has been wonderful. I initally tried a new dark shade. When I contacted the company concerned they immediately helped me through the process and even exchanged the super dark one for one of their lighter mousse options.
Following use I can say I am very pleased. I do think the dark dark shade probably would have even looked wonderful. This tan is so natural looking and was easy to rub in even for a tanning newbie like myself.
Very happy with Busy Babe
I was a bit hesitant to try a self-tanner, but the Golden Hour Mousse has completely won me over. It gives me a natural, radiant glow without any orange tint or streaks. The formula is so smooth and easy to work with, and I love how it feels on my skin. My complexion looks more even, and I feel so much more confident. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a subtle, beautiful tan!
As a busy mom, I don’t have much time to pamper myself, but the Golden Hour Mousse has made my life so much easier. It applies so quickly, and I love how natural the tan looks. I can throw it on while getting the kids ready, and it’s ready to go in just a few minutes. It’s the perfect way to get a beautiful, golden glow without any fuss!
Golden Hour Mousse is a game-changer for my skin! I love how smooth and velvety it feels when I apply it, and the color it gives is the perfect golden, sun-kissed shade. It's so quick to apply, and the mousse texture makes it super easy to blend in. I can’t get enough of this product, and it doesn’t feel sticky at all!
This is hands down my favorite self tanner. I used to have a counter full of tanners and I've gotten rid of all but this one now! Please make it available without the mitt since I have a mitt!
This brand self tanner is my favorite I've ever used. I got the golden color and it's just that. It takes away my red undertones and leaves me with a natural looking tan color. I've never been able to get tan from the sun so this is a really great product for me to use.
I got this for my daughter as I cannot really do the self tanner thing but she absolutely loves it! It arrived quickly and well packaged. It is very easy to apply. It’s a great phone that goes on with colors so you can see what you’re doing. It doesn’t have a horrendous odor like a lot of others do it’s actually a very soft and pleasant scent. it gives great color so she loves it and it did not irritate her skin at all so she’s definitely gonna be ordering this again!
This left a really natural looking tan. It was easy to apply and not streaky at all and dried down quickly. The best part is that it didn’t have a bad smell!
Great tanner
I like how easy this tanner is to apply. Use a mitt it will help you a lot. I love the color too. I like how this gave me a nice bronze glow. I am hooked to self tanners. They have come a long way and are a great alternative to tanning in the sun. Save your skin and use this!
Busy babe self tanner
This busy babe self tanner is really nice it is in a natural dark bronze. The cell Tanner comes out in a rich chocolate brown color I want to develop on my skin overnight and then I went off in the shower in the morning leaving my skin extremely sun kiss even in there cold chilly winter months. I’m able to maintain my glowing skin with this busy babe self tanner. This self tanner also came with a tanning mitt I have pretty big hands so it kept sliding off so I have to like grip it while I’m applying the self tanner but other than that I have no complaints I really like the color pay off that this self tanner provides it is beautiful.
The color is absolutely stunning! It develops into a perfect, sun-kissed glow that looks so natural. I love how long it lasts without fading unevenly, and my skin feels incredibly hydrated.
I purchased this after the online quiz recommended this mousse. It is the best color for me. I will say sometimes when I try self tanners, they turn me orange easily. This did not do that AT ALL. I had no orange tones and everyone thought it was a real tan.
I will continue to purchase this product. I love the color and love to support women owned businesses.
Busy Babe tanning mousse is the best. I use both colors depending on what kind of tan I want and it gives me the most natural looking fake tan I have ever had.
I am a pale red head and this was mentioned to me when I asked on fb for a good self tanner. I love it. It gives me just the right amount of tan for my skin tone. I first applied before a wedding I attended and was asked frequently where I went on vacation. No one could believe it was fake!

You've Got Questions, We've Got Answers!
How does the self tanner work?
Busy Babe Sunless products use 100% natural DHA actives to temporarily add bronzing to the skin. DHA, Dihydroxyacetone is what is in most sunless products to give you a glow without stepping into the sun. DHA is applied to the skin then rinsed and within 24 hours will have reached full color. DHA oxidizes with the top layer of your skin to create a tan look.
Is Busy Babe Tan safe if you're pregnant or breastfeeding?
First of all, from all of us here at Busy Babe Sunless, CONGRATULATIONS. Topical self tanning products are generally considered safe to use during pregnancy but we recommend checking with your provider prior to using any Busy Babe products both topical or otherwise.
Where are Busy Babe products made?
Busy Babe was founded by spray tan artists and all mousse, lotion and spray are created at a lab right here in the USA. Busy Babe Mousse is bottled in Ohio. Some shipping products, packaging and labeling has been imported.
How long does a tan from mousse last?
How long a self tan lasts depends on a variety of factors including your skin, prep and application but most inviduals with proper prep and application can expect their tan to last around 5 days. We recommend properly removing all old tan before reapplying.
What is mousse vs gradual tanner? Which should I get?
Busy babe tanning mousse is different than Busy Babe gradual tanner. Busy Babe tanning mousse contains much higher levels of DHA, allowing you to rinse in a few hours up to leaving on overnight. The longer the mousse is left on prior to rinsing, the darker you will develop. 2-8 hours is the recommended time to leave on mousse prior to rinsing and it will develop either light, medium, medium-dark or dark depeneding.
Busy Babe Subtle Glow gradual tanner contains a light amount of DHA. Applying gradual tanner provides you with a light amount of color that is buildable, using daily. Gradual tanner can be used by individuals who don't want to commit to applying a self tanning mousse, those who want a very light glow or those who want to extend the life of their sunless tan. Applying gradual tanning lotion with hands is an option but make sure you wash hands after application.
