Le Tan in Le Can

One of the first tans I ever purchased as a teen - good price, however awful products - most artificial smelling tan, leaves you with a metallic/bronze orange finish, that runs, smudges and looks awful.

I have super pale skin, with freckles so go from white and freckly to pink and freckly in no time, I therefor resort to fake bake! I had a last minute trip booked where I would be in my swimmers so needed a quick tan. Thought I'd try this as for the price was worth taking a leap of faith...

The smell is OK, quite strong and vanillary but washed off ok. Applying the tan was easy but went EVERYWHERE. So I'd do it in the shower next time. Its also hard to gauge how much to spray as you need quite a lot to have the colour show up to guide. My legs looked a bit splotchy but my chest and arms were easy to do. They say to apply and then wash off in 6 hours BUT I applied it after my nightly shower so that didn't happen. I showered the next night only, however I feel like the colour developed better after doing that than when I showered it off as directed the second time.

After using I looked tanned and glowy and I loved the look of my skin. I did need to moisturise quite a lot (it claims it is moisturizing but I'm not too sure as my skin felt dry). The tan lasted a good few days even through swimming in hot pools and showering. Scrubbed off easy enough when it was time to reapply.

I receieved a small can of this in a goodiebox ages ago. The colour was 'deep bronze'.

First off - I am not a fan of fake tanning. I have only done it twice (once when I was 14 and the other time was when I used this - which was about 5 months ago). It is just personal preference, I don't like it on myself.

In the summer my skin gets quite brown so I wasn't too worried about the colour being 'deep bronze'. To be honest, I never would have bought this but because I got it in a goodiebox I didn't want to waste it and decided to give it a go.

After reading the instructions I sprayed my legs and feet (I don't know what I was thinking), with this. It didn't develop super quickly so I struggled to tell where I had sprayed this.

After an hour however, my legs looked super tan and I thought they looked even. (I did this at night so I didn't have an accurate idea of what they looked like).

The next morning I went to work and immediately my coworkers asked me why my legs were patchy and orange.

FAIL.

I looked down in horror (I had gotten dressed in the dark), and, yep, my legs looked like blotchy road cones. Not even kidding. They looked awful. I was so embarassed ahahaha.

Luckily when I got home that night I managed to scrub most of it off.

My advice if you are going to use this is be careful where you apply it - try not to overlap the streaks and avoid your knees.

Thus, I really disliked this product and will never, ever purchase it.

I didn't like it whatsoever, I found it difficult to apply and the colour was way too orange for my skin. It is entirely possible that I applied it incorrectly and that the shade was off for my skin, but nevertheless I wouldn't ever use it again and I wouldn't recommend it unless you're super confident in knowing what you're doing.
