Sobe Tan Overnight Solution
(hot) take on the tan: Sobe Tan’s Overnight 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. It was easy to apply, blendable, and not streaky. Then, after about 12 hours of development time and the first rinse, Sobe Tan’s Overnight Solution left type 2 skin with blue undertones developed into a beautiful warm tan that was four shades darker. The tan held on for an astounding 10 days before starting to fade and didn’t crack but simply got lighter until it was time to fully exfoliate.
I would recommend Sobe Tan’s solutions to any and everyone, but especially those looking for lighter, cleaner solutions with minimal ingredients.
