Product details

Sun Laboratories by Giesee Tan Overnight Sunless Tanning Lotion is an 8 oz self-tanning lotion that develops a deep, natural-looking bronze while you sleep without sun exposure.

This lightweight, non-sticky formula is designed to hydrate and even skin tone while delivering an instant bronzer and a gradual overnight buildup for a richer tan by morning. Infused with nourishing, cruelty-free ingredients, the lotion aims to dry quickly, resist streaking, and be gentle enough for both face and body application. The product includes visible bronzers for immediate color and DHA-based gradual tanning ingredients to deepen and prolong the glow over subsequent nights.

How quickly will I see a visible tan with this overnight self-tanner?

You’ll notice an immediate bronzing effect on contact thanks to the temporary self-tanner pigments, and the deeper, long-lasting color develops overnight as the active ingredients react with the skin. For best results, apply to exfoliated, dry skin in the evening and rinse or moisturize in the morning only if desired.

  • Instant bronze for same-day color and photo-ready look
  • Gradual DHA development deepens tone overnight
  • Repeat nightly to build a darker, longer-lasting tan
  • Quick-dry, non-greasy formula minimizes transfer to sheets

Will this lotion give an even, streak-free finish on face and body?

The formula is designed for smooth, uniform coverage when applied correctly: use circular motions and small amounts for hard-to-reach areas like feet, hands, ears and around the hairline. A lightweight texture and moisturizing base help the product absorb evenly and reduce patchiness.

  • Apply on exfoliated, moisturized skin for consistent results
  • Use sparingly around joints and drier zones to avoid buildup
  • Blend carefully at edges (neckline, wrists, ankles) for seamless transitions
  • Suitable for both face and body with controlled application

How long does the tan last and how do I maintain it?

A single application can provide several days of color depending on your skin type and skincare routine; the gradual DHA-based color will naturally fade as the skin exfoliates. To extend the bronzed look, moisturize daily, avoid excessive exfoliation, and reapply every 3–5 days or as desired to rebuild depth.

  • Typical wear: several days; reapply to sustain tone
  • Hydrating ingredients help preserve color and reduce flaking
  • Avoid harsh scrubs and long hot baths to maintain the bronzed finish
  • Layer nightly to intensify shade without streaking

Is this formula safe for sensitive skin and cruelty-free?

The lotion is formulated to be lightweight and non-sticky with natural-derived ingredients and a vegan, cruelty-free policy. While the product is crafted to be gentle, always patch-test before full-face or full-body application if you have sensitive or reactive skin.

  • Vegan and not tested on animals for ethical choice
  • Contains moisturizing botanicals to soothe and nourish
  • Fragrance notes minimized to reduce strong odors
  • Recommended patch-test on inner arm before full use

Who is this for: Sun Laboratories by Giesee Tan Overnight Sunless Tanning Lotion is built for anyone who wants a deep, salon-style bronze without sun exposure — ideal for busy people who prefer applying at night, those seeking a natural-looking face and body tan, or anyone wanting a cruelty-free, hydrating self-tanner. It works well for first-time tanners because of its gradual build, and for experienced users who want an easy overnight application that adds immediate color plus longer-term development.

Q: How do I avoid streaks when applying to hands and feet?

A: Use small amounts, circular motions, and blend edges; rinse palms lightly if excess develops.
