Highly recommend for fair complexions!
Self tanners have come a long way! I haven't used self tanners in 10 years or so due to the streaks, uneven coloring and fading, and the bad smell. I was in search of a quick tan before vacation in a few weeks, so I did some research and decided to give St Tropez a shot. ( I am German/ Irish, fair skinned, green eyed and blonde haired) When it arrived I was pleasantly surprised by the size(much larger than I anticipated). I exfoliated and applied lotion as directed. I was only doing a test shot on my legs to see how it went. I applied with the mitt, which is a MUST have! I did a total of 4 pumps on my legs starting at my shin and worked down, then thigh and worked down to cover knee. I went lightly, super lightly, on my feet and there's some unevenness but not orange, it's white. I didn't apply enough product out of fear that it would absorb more into my feet. Not the case. I added photos because no review is trustworthy without a picture! I am going to apply a little more next time to get a deeper color but for a first time user, first time St Tropez buyer, it's a win!
P.S- I don't know what 'smell' everyone is referring to.. the smell was pleasant and did not linger after application. Old school self tanners smell horrible and that was a dead give away that you fake baked, second to the orange color.
