Great tanner for uber pale skin.
By Dani on Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2013
Okay so first, I love this stuff. I have legit pale ass skin and not the pale like "Oh I'm kinda tan/olive skin so I think I'm pale..." I have LEGITIMATE pink pale skin. I do not tan. At all. This stuff however fools the world! One application and I have such a pretty glow the next day that isn't ridiculous. My favorite things about this are; Its extremely easy to apply since you can actually see where you've been on your skin, it comes out dark brown. It smells nice HOWEVER I will warn you when you sleep in it be prepared to smell when you wake up, I think the fragrance wears off overnight but that's okay! Because you've got to shower it off anyway.(and the stank is gone once you're done showering which is even better because most self tanners stick with you... ) Also, this threw me off in the morning after; Once you shower it looks like it all came off and your standing there like "WHAT THE FUNK." Still pale and ghostly.Well I was pissed off for a while until I passed a mirror again and noticed that I was darkening. SO beware that it looks like it all came off- Once you shower off the excess you'll start to tan so don't layer it over again or you're gonna go overboard. The great thing about this though is i can go out after a shower pretend I'm sunbathing. . . haha. "OH look what nature did... oh this? of course I tan naturally!" No one is the wiser. It gives you a GOLD color. Some people are saying brown and keep in mind it is still a sunless tanner. You won't turn strange orange like (i personally) do with jergens you get sun kissed gold, kind of like those magazine ads for ocean breeze scented perfumes... or whatever. But the undertones are brown which makes it a really nice color. It did not streak on me at all. None whatsoever and if you moisturize your knees and elbows and hairline before you apply you'll be fine. The only part it kinda blotched was the sides of my feet but those are dry as hell and I knew as I was applying that the tan would likely do that there. Also while I was applying i was pretty reckless and just rubbed all over, went over spots I already covered just to make sure I got everything and it all deposited evenly once I showered so it seriously seems goof-proof... I'm not sure how some people are messing it up, but meh. GET A MITT. This thing is wonderful. Probably the greatest accessory for ST. Tropez tanning because I would be lost without it. There is no way I could apply with my hands and get it as even. It's only $5 . . . if you're already spending the 30 on this you might as well get the mitt. The best tip I can give when applying to your face is to use a cheap ELF powder brush, squirt a bit of tanner on your mitt and swirl the brush in it then kinda buff your face like you're applying makeup. This gives me the most even coverage. PUT LOTION ON YOUR EYEBROWS THOUGH. Ha. For the love of god don't put the tan on your brows. If I had one complaint it would be the price, but honestly I'll pay it because its the only tanner I like for my skin and i'm clumsy with self tanners so the fact that its pretty fool proof makes it my best fran'. Also I love the wash off glow for some brief darkening if I prefer without the commitment. So.. get it on with that too.

Looks great, doesn’t last
By CraftyMomma87 on Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2025
Overall, this is a decent tanner but has its downsides. On the positive, it’s goes on very smoothly & the guide color makes it easy to see where you’ve applied. Dries very quickly & didn’t transfer to clothes. I wore overnight & rinsed in the morning. It wasn’t as dark as I’d hoped but did darken some throughout the day. I ended up doing it again the second night & the color was much better. The downside is the tanner didn’t even come close to lasting a week. It barely lasted 3 days. I exfoliated prior to applying & kept skin moisturized but that didn’t help. It faded so fast after showering with soap. Fortunately it does fade evenly so no patchiness but who wants to reapply tanner every couple days? This is a good choice if you’re needing it for like a weekend event as it did give a great tan. But that’s all.
