Overall Opinion:

Overall, I ended up giving Hampton Sun Sunless Tanning Gel 3.25 out of 5 stars.

I would’ve given it lower than that, but the color it produced was it’s redeeming quality.

The things I didn’t like were 1) the price 2) the smell and 3) the drying time.

You all know that gels take longer to dry, and this one was no exception.

The smell of this one is one of the worst I’ve smelled.  It smelled like straight DHA.

The price is pretty high, so just be prepared for that!

What I did like about Hampton Sun Sunless Tanning Gel is the color it produced.

It gave me a very natural, medium shade tan.  If you’re looking to be really dark than you probably won’t like it, but it gave me a very nice glow.

Detailed Opinion:

Look and Feel

Hampton Sun Sunless Tanning Gel is a creamy, light tan gel.

The texture is very nice and slick.

The gel is not clear, it is opaque and relatively thick.

Application

This one goes on very nicely.

It’s not messy at all, you don’t need to wear gloves.

Since it’s a gel, it takes a few minutes to absorb into your skin.

There’s no guide so the application process stays pretty clean.

Drying Time

This gel took about 35 minutes to dry.

It didn’t take as long as some gels, but it took longer than average.

I’ve noticed that gels most always take longer to dry due to the consistency of the product.

Smell (Before Application)

Yuck!

It smells like old self tanners used to smell….like pure DHA.

I couldn’t stand the smell of this one, I was embarrassed to  be around anyone after I applied it because it reeked.

It left my bathroom smelling of self tanner too.

Smell (After Several Hours And The Next Day)

The smell was gone when I woke up the next morning, I was so happy about that.

Color Produced

Hampton Sun Sunless Tanning Gel produces an even medium tan.

I like how my tan looked the next day, it was smooth and I had a sun kissed look.

The color wasn’t super dark, I’d say it gave me a medium shade tan.

The color wasn’t orange or fake looking either which was nice.

How Long It Lasts

This one faded after about 3-4 days.

It got a little streaky as it faded, but it wasn’t too bad or embarrassing.

You’ll probably need to apply this one twice a week to keep a medium glow.

OK For Men?

Ya,  think this one is ok for men.

It produces a nice medium shade which men will like.

They’ll just have to get past the awful smell and long drying time.

The price tag is also pretty steep, but it’s a decent product for men to use.

Price

The bottle is $36.00 on Sephora.

That works out to $8.18 an ounce, which is on the pricier side.

This one is definitely more expensive than a lot of self tanners out there.
