Same Experience As Lh...This tanner looked fairly nice when it went on evenly. However, it is very hard to put it on evenly! Mixing it with lotion made me feel very greasy, and I had dark brown spots all over where it didnt mix/blend well (in particular I had dark blotches under my chin, above my armpit and the inside of my elbow). I would rather be blindingly white than blotchy and uneven. My search for a good sunless tanner continues...posted Jun 5, 2008Link to this post -

Beyond The Best, Just Gotta Learn A Few Tricks..Okay, so Im about as white as you can get, and the ONLY thing I get from being in the sun is freckles and a nice little sunburn! Ive tried ALL the different brands, and have paid for the mystic tans (which is a timely effort, due to all the barrier cream application thats required if I dont want streaks). However, my Aunt gave me the leftover of a bottle of this stuff two years ago. Shes spent her entire life in tanning beds and lying by the pool, and tans beautifully, however shes just recently paid the price with a battle with skin cancer...needless to say shes changed her ways!! She gave me the bottle of Sun (in Ultra Dark) which I tried out on my stomach first to make sure it wasnt orange. I am not completely addicted to this stuff!! It requires a little work, but heres a few tips...1) Shower and shave FIRST2) Completely dry off and put plain lotion (nothing with fragrance in it) on the soles of your feet, your ankles, kness and elbows3) I keep the sink water running in the bathroom, and after application to each body area, use one of those little nail scrubbers and soap to get the stuff off my hands4) wear junky clothes till it dries...I put it on before bed, and let it dry for awhile before I hop in the sheets, 5) If you use it on your face, use a TINY amount and do your cheek bones, a light grazing on your forehead, and keep your neck okay with a very thin application, that way it looks natural, not like you dunked your head in something and came up brown, think about it, does anyones face get that dark while tanning? Nah, and when it does it looks BAD. I will add pics later, got a wedding this weekend I have to look nice for...itll give you an idea how great this stuff really is!!posted May 23, 2008Link to this post -

Sun-best Self Tanner Yet!I have used every self tanner known to man. This product goes on very easy and dries pretty quickly. Your skin feels soft and the color looks very natural. You really do look like you are sun kissed-without overdoing it. It is not orange looking at all. You do need to wash your hands really well after using product. It goes on dark but dries to a natural color. Has a pleasant smell too. It is by far the best self tanner I have used in 20 years!posted Apr 23, 2008Link to this post

Easily Washes Off..Reading the high reviews, I decided to give this a try.After showering, I spent an HOUR applying this, blending, even mixing moisturizing lotion into my skin. After all that work, my skin looked streaky 10 minutes later. I washed my hands, but also my tan washed away. I had to re apply it to the back of my hands by rubbing them together. This morning my hands and part of my wrists are orange, and there are uneven spots and streaks on my arms.My legs turned out alright though.I guess tanning beds is the only way to get an even tan....posted Apr 8, 2008Link to this post

Best On The Market- I PromiseI have been using self tanners for 20 years. I started with my mom QT back in the 80s. I have literally used almost every brand on the market. This is the best. I would love to share my secret about getting the color perfect. First put regular lotion on your elbows, knees, and back of hands. This is to prevent the dry spots from absorbing too much and turning too brown. Then put heavy coat of self tanner on, and rub quickly because it dries fast. Then to make perfect blow dry your self for about 5 minutes. Only put on in the morning and not at night. Put on after shower. Dont put on before bed, it will rub off and become uneven. Follow these instructions, and you will have the ingredients for a perfect tan!posted Mar 4, 2008Link to this post

Great Option For Self TanningThe smell is great on this product which is always my biggest concern with self tanners. It covered nicely and looked very natural, even my husband said I looked pretty but couldnt figure out what I had done. I had no streaking, but be sure to wash your hands immediately after applying.posted Feb 6, 2008Link to this post

Finally! Something That Works!I am a very fair-skinned individual who does not tan well at all. Ive been trying various sunless tanning products recently, hoping for a miracle before my upcoming vacation. Theyve all been disasters until I tried Sun. I cant speak to how it wears off, but Ive been very impressed with the application.Its true that the stuff in the bottle is scary-looking-dark. Once you rub it into the skin though, the difference is very subtle. Im practically ghost white and I bought the dark version and now I think I could have gotten the darkest version and still been able to achieve a moderate tan without looking extremely dark.The best part is that it goes on so smoothly! I did put lotion on my palms every time I squirted more tanner from the bottle, which may have helped. I also washed my hands about 4-5 times during the application over my whole body. I exfoliated once about two weeeks ago, and still it went on perfectly over problem areas like my feet, knees, etc. The color also looks very natural. After application, I waited about 1/2 hour before getting dressed, then put on old clothes, but didnt have any staining on them. Im loving this product and can see now why there are so many people raving about it!!posted Oct 19, 2007Link to this post

Doesn't Smell Too WeirdI think with any tanning product theres going to be a little bit of a weird smell, but this one is very slight. Tans dark...I bought the medium color....so I only need it about every 4th day. Makes your palms brown, so be sure to wash it off.posted Sep 28, 2007Link to this post
