Impressed!
What I did before application: The package said do not shave 24 hours prior so I did not shave. I used a body scrub and made sure to get my elbows, knees, and ankles/feet. I did not do anything else.
Application: I used these right after drying off after a shower. The towel is like a baby wipe and you just need to wipe wherever you want to be tan. I started out wearing rubber gloves but it was hard to wipe with them on so I took them off. While applying it goes on clear and dries quickly so I got kind of worried since I couldn't see where I had already done but everything turned out fine. It took 3 towels to do my whole body and face. The towels have no scent and no odor. I washed my hands twice after application so they would not get stained. The package said not to get dressed for 10 minutes. I got dressed after probably 5.
The wait: I will admit I was scared, you never know what your going to get with self tanners. My skin felt good and was not greasy or sticky. There was a tiny tiny tiny bit of self tanner smell. I emphasize the word tiny here. After the 4 hours I noticed a really nice glow. I was actually really surprised how nice it looked. I live in Florida so I know what a real tan looks like and this looks real. It is subtle so I will need to do it again to get a darker look. My hands never got stained either.
The verdict: This is so easy! I've tried lotions, sprays, and foams and this the easiest by far. You just wipe and your done. And I did not have to do anything crazy beforehand. I have absolutely NO streaks anywhere and it looks natural. I am really impressed with these towels and I'm going to use them in the winter when my real tan fades.
I posted my before and after photo. The left is before I used the product, and the right is 4 hours after application. I received this product in exchange for an honest review, all opinions are my own.
