Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this product and the Bondi Sands Foam to see which one I liked better. They both work great and the tan is not orange and it does not streak. The scent is coconut and it's pleasant enough. My only complaint with this one is that it does not actually "dry" like you would expect from the description. It's still sticky. I tried it last night and after 10 minutes put sleeping pants on and went to bed. (They were black so I couldn't see how much transfer there was). When I woke up, the tan looked great. I rinsed off this morning and re-applied, it's even darker and fantastic looking but as I write this review... I'm still a bit sticky, not bad but a little. Would I buy again? Yes. For the sole reason that you don't have to wash it off in a specific time. I have yet to find a self tanner that does "everything." But you can't even get that at a professional tanning salon so it's hard to complain. A couple of tips for new users: (this works for all fake tans; professional and home applications) 1. Apply with something other than your bare hands! I bought a giant package of surgical gloves. 2. Exfoliate like crazy (I use the exfoliating gloves at the end of my shower so my skin is already softened). Shave with a new razor. 3. The brown tint you see when you apply is just makeup and is to help you see where you have applied the product. It will wash off when you wash the product, this is normal. 4. MOST IMPORTANT - When you shower, use cold water to keep your pores closed. A lot of people use hot water, which opens your pores and the tan washes right off. I only shower briefly to get the top layer off and then I pat dry. I wait until the next day to lightly rinse again and use lotion. 5. 2nd MOST IMPORTANT - The next day (or when you feel really dry), PUT LOTION on. Now you need to hydrate, the tan is in your skin and you need to keep it hydrated so it will last longer. If your skin gets too dry it was start to flake and the tan will be patchy.
