These were the way to fake colour before at home tanners got so easy, and so good!
The dark gave a more intense result for your efforts, but despite best efforts these always left me a little orangey, smelling a little chemically, and with slightly stained hands.
Nice lotion, and it'll give you a bit of colour, but perhaps not the type you want. It's just as cost effective and simple to buy a proper tanner, these days.
After freaking out about going to an event in the heat and having to bare my white legs to the public I decided I needed to tan!
I have self tan but don't have the confidence using it just yet.
Got talking to a friend of mine and she made the suggestion to buy this. I literally drove to the supermarket and picked it up.
I was a little hesitant because I didn't want to go orange. Thankfully that did not happen. I shook the bottle really well before applying. The cream is the consistency the same as your everyday moisturizer. Now I should mention this is a gradual tan. You apply it to your skin and it gradually builds up a nice natural looking tan. For me however it was affective straight away. I applied a significant amount the first time massaging it thoroughly into my leg but being careful around the knees and ankles so the tan didn't grab to those areas. I recommend only going over those areas with the remaining lotion left on your hands after massaging it in so your knees don't turn horribly dark.
I applied one layer and noticed the difference straight away. me being me applied 3 layers in one night waking to beautifully tanned legs! I wasn't orange.
Do be careful once you have applied the moisturizer to your legs make sure they are dry before you go near fabric or bedding or it will stain! I found drying my legs with a hair dryer helped the drying process up.
The tan lasted 2 showers before I needed to re apply :)
For $8 I don't think you can go wrong, and its the perfect way to prepare your self to self tan at home.
Tips: Use lotion sparingly around ankles and knees.
