(More customer reviews)I came to this page to see what other people thought of this product, and I was pretty surprised by what I saw. While this is the first sunless tanning product I've ever used, I've been pretty satisfied with it, overall. And I'm confused by everyone's happiness with the smell--I think this lotion smells kinda gross. :) But that's a minor issue. I'm quite pleased with this, although it does have it's quirks:
- If you apply the lotion on anything but freshly-washed skin, you're going to get terrible results. Your skin will be spotty and the lotion may not even be absorbed at all. I like to wash off at night and apply the lotion before going to sleep. That seems to give better results than using it in the morning (when I usually take a shower). Also, the lotion works incredibly well on skin that you've just shaved (i.e. legs). I guess the pores are still open and the lotion can be absorbed well, I don't know.
- You have to be really careful to apply the lotion evenly AND lightly, otherwise you'll again get spotty results. Try not to apply any around your ankles; for some reason this stuff makes the spot where my leg meets my ankles extremely dark.
- One thing I like to do (actually the reason I bought this) is to use the lotion to even out a natural tan. For example, the top of my arms tan quite easily, but the undersides are pale like it's winter. If I apply the lotion to just these parts of my arm, I get a nice, even tan on my arms.
- You want to wait a looooooong time for the lotion to dry, otherwise it will streak, as people have mentioned, as result of contact with your clothes. The package recommends five minutes but I'd say that's a bare minimum and you want to wait at least ten. I guess this is why I find it works better at night, since when I'm sleeping I'm not running around doing things. :)
This lotion isn't going to make you very dark, but I imagine it would the more you use it (i.e. once per day). I'm only looking for a slight, natural tan, so I only apply this lotion once every three to five days, basically whenever I think the tan has faded too much. Considering all I've said, this lotion is kinda annoying, and I have very little patience for this stuff (believe it or not). :) I plan on trying the one from The Body Shop next, to see how they compare, and if that one doesn't work out I'd buy this again. I don't think this is a bad product, I just think it's misunderstood.
