The Best Self-Tanner EVER: Vita Liberata
 pHenomenal 2-3 Week Tan Mousse.

The Vita Liberata
 pHenomenal 2-3 Week Tan Mousse is the best self-tanner I have used, ever. Am I overstating this remark? No. It is that good.

The BEST Self-Tanner: Vita Liberata pHenomenal 2-3 Week Tan Mousse

This self-tanner was created with the brands pHenO2 technology. I don't really know what that is, but whatever it is, it is developed so this self-tanning mouse is completely odorless, light, airy and super long-lasting. It dries within a minute. Literally. I can get dressed immediately after applying. 

When I say Vita Liberata
 pHenomenal is super long-lasting, it really is. The brand claims that it lasts 2-3 weeks, but you have to apply it as they suggest. They suggest three applications, within 3 - 24 hours each. I applied it one night and then again the next morning and had a really dark, but believable self-tan. I noticed some fading around ten days, but still had traces of it on my legs after two weeks. I suppose if I wanted to be really dark and need it to last longer, I would apply the three applications as instructed. Though I didn't, this was more than good enough for me. I previously had a consistent self-tanning routine where I applied twice a week. I never thought I could have a self-tanner last this long and only applying every two weeks is a dream come true.

Vita Liberata
 pHenomenal is super easy to apply with their tanning mitt that I highly recommend you purchase. For only $6.50, this mitt will help you to apply this mouse seamlessly and evenly. I use one pump of mousse for each section of my body, meaning each leg, arm, back, chest and neck. I haven't applied this to my face yet, but for those of you that are daring or want a darker self-tanned face, I would say go for it.

Don't miss this self-tanner. You can choose from Fair, Medium or Dark. I use Medium. It is expensive at $54.00, but it is so worth it. I have used Vita Liberata
 pHenomenal three times since I received it almost two months ago and I still have 3/4 of the bottle left.

Purchase Vita Liberata
