My favourite tan. Easy to apply, lasts ages and doesn’t have a horrible smell. I swear by this tan for modelling shoots, looks very natural. Well worth the price.
I received this product as a free gift with purchase from Ulta. I really hate that you are supposed to apply this 10 minutes before showering. That alone will keep me from ever purchasing it because I usually don’t have 10 minutes to kill in the morning. It also advises to avoid moisurizing shower lotions. I did use this in a pinch as I ran out of my usual Ulta brand self-tanner. It is definitely a gradual tan, but left me a little orangish for my liking (my skin has yellow undertones). It doesn’t smell great, but I do like that the lotion is yellow so you can make sure to rub it in evenly.
I think this is the best self tanner I've tried. The smell isn't great, but who cares, it'll go away after the shower anyway. I use a tanning mit to not get my hands orange (a mistake I've made previously). My only complaint is that I am hesitant to lather fully in the shower because I'm afraid of taking off the product. If I'm being honest, I don't use it before the shower anymore because of that. The results are more instant and prominent as well instead of a gradual tanning. I am pale, but I have a yellow undertoned skin so I feel I can get away with it. Not sure if people with pink undertones could do the same because it might look too orange for them. If you do decide to use it after showers like me, make sure you really spread it well and rub it in! It'll be extremely streaky if you don't, since it's not made to be used after showers.
This gradual tanner is just OK. I find that it's patchy and doesn't tan easily.It isnt't as bronze as I'd like it to be. I believe you can get a medium tan or a darker tan as the shades. It definitely isn't a tanner that you see instantly. You would have to do more than one application.
If you want a gradual tan this is hands down the best product for the job. I just put it on wear a robe until times up then jump in the shower! Super easy. It will transfer a little to your robe or whatever you wear in the mean time but it comes out in the wash like nothing ever happened. Its super moisturizing and makes your skin really soft. The only down side is the bottle warning is true if you have a very moisturizing body wash you should pick up a different one because it will make the tan not develop as much.
This gives a subtle hint of colour so suits fair skin tones more than golden ones. It doesn't give me enough colour which is frustrating. The first time I used this I see no difference at all but I think they is because I spent too long in the shower afterwards! Now when I use this I just have a very quick no nonsense shower but this is not ideal for me as it means I can't use this product more regularly. Don't be alarmed by the quite garish yellow cream, it does not turn you there colour! It's an innovative way to self tan but I wish the colour was stronger. I have tried leaving it in for 20 minutes which made a little more difference but not much.
This product is great! I am very fair skinned and this allows me to get a gradual sun kissed look that is very natural! No orange tone, streaking, or color rubbing off on clothes. It also leaves your skin feeling moisturized and soft. I normally do it every couple of days when I am trying to maintain the color. Because I'm fair skinned, the amount of color is perfect, but if you want extreme color this probably won't be what you want. The only con for me is the scent. It's not terrible, but kinda lingers. After the shower I felt like there was no scent, but the scent seems to return throughout the 4-8 hours it is "developing". Other than that, no complaints!
This product works wonderfully. You can use it slowly as the directions say, or if you need a tan fast, you can put the lotion on and go to bed. Leave it on over night and you're golden in the morning. This product did not turn me orange. I am light skinned. And I'm usually orange after I use a self tanning lotion. So thumbs up on this product. 👍👍👍
I liked this product to tan specifically the face area. I used it before the shower and would see a nice glow the following day. It wasn't a drastic difference but made enough to get noticed. Minor smell but not too bad!
Don't move after you put it on, or you may streak. Doesn't smell awful, but there is a distinct odor. Luckily it's before you shower and you can't smell it after your shower. I left it on for about an hour the first time I did it, but I don't feel it was necessary. Gave a great color without looking orange. I love it!
