00:00Hey guys, I'm Hannah and I'm Dave and for the next three days we are going to be
00:04testing out self-tanners. I can't wait! I want to get crispy! Me too! I am going to
00:11be using the higher-end self-tanner and I am going to be using the more
00:16affordable option. What is your experience with self-tanning, Dave? As I
00:20don't get a lot of sun, I sampled with it back in high school when I was
00:24probably not as confident and I think I looked kind of patchy but I'm willing to
00:29give it another shot because that was 15 years ago. I want to show you this.
00:34That's you? With self-tanner. She's kind of orange. Kind of oompa loompa. Like Peking duck.
00:41In high school and into college, because I was insecure about how pale my skin was, I
00:46did horrible things. It was self-tanner and the tanning bed. So dumb girls and boys.
00:52Don't do that. Well self-tanning I think gets kind of a bad rap because sometimes
00:56people overdo it. But I will say, as a very pale person, it's important to find
01:00alternatives than just sitting out in the sun if it's not particularly good for you.
01:05This says nothing about color. This just says mousse bronzing mousse. What's your
01:11color? Light bronze. Light bronze. Mine is not for use on the face. I'm gonna put on a
01:16bathing suit. Okay. A bandeau style bathing suit so that I won't have lines. And I'll just do waist up
01:23because, hey. You're a dude. Yeah, dude. Just a regular guy. Hannah and I are going to go back
01:29to our respective homes and try our individual products. And over the next
01:34three days, we are going to measure application, coverage, color, staining, and fading.
01:41All together now. Application, coverage, color, staining, and fading. Let's do it.
01:49Okay. It is about time to apply the tanning lotion for the first time. I'm not naked.
01:56I'm wearing a bandeau. My room's really messy. So the directions are real easy. Basically,
02:03it just says use a mitt if you don't want to stain your hands. I think I'm going to pull
02:07this off just fine because how hard can this possibly be? Got on my trusty glove. Squirt
02:13moves directly into tanning mitt. Apply to the body in circular motions. I should put up
02:18my hair. Am I doing it right? Who knows? Oh my god. I was not expecting it to be that
02:28dark.
02:33It's kind of cold. This is not a circle. I'm struggling. One thing I didn't count on is that I
02:42can't get to
02:42my back. So I might have a couple splotty areas. I just have a feeling that this is not going
02:48to
02:48be even like I want it to be. I can't do it. I will say it actually smells kind of
02:57nice. It smells
02:59like coconuts. All right. So I just finished. I only did this arm and not this one so that I
03:04can really compare. So far, looks about the same. Okay. So application is done. So I just got back
03:19from the gym where there's tons of fluorescent light. And in that light, you can really tell
03:23that one side is orange. And maybe it was just in my head, but I felt like people were looking
03:27because you can totally see the line from where I stopped applying it and where it's still white.
03:32Okay. So I am home now. I definitely look like I got a tan, but arms are pretty good. Here's
03:42the
03:42other one. It's pretty nice to me. I would say a success. I wouldn't say the results were dramatic,
03:51but you could definitely tell that I was a little bit more tan and that kind of felt good. One
03:56thing
03:56I am noticing though is that it's really tan and brownish, like right on my palm where the mitt
04:02touched it. And you can kind of see, I got a little bit of a tan around my white sheets.
04:07I thought it
04:08was dry after the first day, but I guess it wasn't. These are my white pillowcases. I don't see any
04:15hint
04:16of self-tanner. I'm happy to report that I redeemed my high school days of spray painting myself orange with
04:27self-tanner. And I think I did a pretty good job. So to recap, I used the less expensive Juergens
04:35self-tanner.
04:35And I used the more expensive James Reed self-tanner. Loved it.
04:42I had a pretty good experience with mine. And I also have to say that it depends on what lighting
04:46you're in to
04:47see how tan you look. When I'm inside with the natural light, I looked the same. But when I went
04:52to the gym, I looked
04:53completely orange under the fluorescent light and only on one half of my body. So spring is officially here, summer
04:59is around the corner. I know that I'm going to be using the self-tanner again. Would you use it?
05:04I probably wouldn't do it again, only because I am a very pale person and don't quite look great with
05:09tan slash orange skin. But if it makes you feel confident, go ahead and do it. I would just say
05:15to follow the directions and make sure to use the mitts.
05:18The mitts are a must. If you like it, put a mitt on it.
05:22Thanks for watching this three-day challenge and we will see you next time.
