Brown tan/ not bronze/ good product in its own ways
Definitely would buy again as it’s one of the best self tanning products I’ve ever used
You get a couple shades darker the second you put it on your skin, and you gradually get even darker over the next few hours
It doesn’t wash off in the shower either like most tanners, it won’t rub off onto your clothing and it last longer than anything I’ve ever used coming from a DIY tan At home
It has a slight light smell to it which smells like brown sugar (the typical self tan smell) but if you follow the directions on the bottle which say to apply to your body -then to shower in a few hours after application, the smell will wash away but not your tan
I have a tendency to apply too much self tanner in the colder months due to the fact I get way too pale for my liking, and because of that my skin starts to look dirty bc I’ll continue put layers of tanner on over the older tan from last week without exfoliating my skin to rub off the old tan, making it so it looks like I have dirt all over -especially on my neck. But with this tanner I don’t have that problem ! I’m not needing to apply so much if it to achieve the tan I’m looking for, plus it absorbs well into my skin and when it starts to fade it does so evenly instead of in blotches.
Also it doesn’t make me orange in the slightest so there’s no fake tan look at all. People have noticed I look tanner but I’ve been asked if I went to the tanning bed bc of the natural brown tan this tanner gives. Though it can almost be too brown, there’s no orange to it at all which I feel depending on your skin type a little orange is necessary bc the brown can almost make my pale skin look dirty, especially on my face. Once I get a little tan from the sun though, then I used this, it didn’t seem to do that. So for anyone with pale skin I would suggest trying a different tanner With a different tint to it bc I don’t think the tint of dark brown this gives would be what you’d want.
All and all I would recommend this product though bc it’s definitely worth the try and I will be buying again. I would just recommend to buy a sea salt scrub to exfoliate in the shower with as it’s the best to remove any dead skin you need too in order to get a long lasting even tan. Also don’t forget to buy a tanning mit to avoid orange hands and get the best even tan across your entire body.
I’ve done 4 applications from head to toe since buying and I still have over half the bottle left. It does give you an instantly darker complexion the moment you apply it so if you’re looking for something subtle and not so noticeable then I’m not sure this would be the tanner you want
