(hot) take on the tan: Like its overnight counterpart, Sobe Tan’s Rapid Solution is going to pave the way for clean, sustainable sunless practices. Why? Because it just makes sense. Why should we continue to overcomplicate and add processed chemicals to solutions if seven clean ingredients do the trick? And by trick I mean develops into a beautiful, long-lasting tan.

The color guide is a caramel tone that leaves the skin about two shades darker upon application. I let the solution develop for four hours before rinsing, and then 24 hours later was left with a beautiful warm tan that was four shades darker. Thanks to its hydrating properties, Sobe Tan’s Rapid lasted for about eight days before fading evenly and non-patchy.
