ModelCo tanning cream built up an almost natural looking tan over about 3 days of use. I then just maintained the tan by reapplying the moisturiser every second or third day.
The brown cream is fairly runny. It is absorbed well and is non-greasy but is not very nourishing. It has a slight chemical smell to it but is otherwise semi-sweet and pleasant smelling. The cream doesn't build up much residue on the lid of the tube like a lot of other creams do, which I think is a plus when working with self tanning creams where you really don't want to end up with dark streaks or spots.
I believe the price is reasonable and although the colour was near to natural it did appeared more orange the more I built the tan up.
I am always cautious about getting streaky or patchy legs on application. I found the cream easy to apply evenly and that, had I used mits I could have created a perfectly even tan, even over my ankles and knees. When maintaining the tan It was easy to end up with unwanted dark areas as it did not wear off evenly.
I would not use this product again as I am finding gradual tanning moisturisers always feel like they are more hassle than they are worth
I'm not really 'in' to tanning much as I'm fairly pale and dont much like to sun bake. I do like to keep a bit of colour on my legs and decolletage in Winter so I thought I'd give this a go.
I have to say I am not overly impressed.The tan looked a touch orangey on me, but not too bad - I expect on a warm skintone this would not be as pronounced. My other big negative is that it took ages to dry - a good 20 minutes before clothes can be put on!
It smells okay and makes skin feel moisturized, so it may be worth a try if you want to dabble in fake tanning for the first time.
