$22.00 (MACYS, NORDSTROM, QVC)

THE CLAIMS:

This self-tanner offers a gorgeous, natural, never-orange tan in a bottle. It can be used all over your body and never looks fake or streaky. It uses a natural-based formula that moisturizes with vitamins C and E, aloe vera, and sweet almond oil.

How do I use it:  Before applying, prep your skin. While showering, exfoliate skin to provide the smoothest surface to glide sunless tanner over.

Smooth the self-tanner evenly all over your body. To avoid discoloring palms, wash hands with soap and water immediately after use. Allow application to dry for several minutes before dressing.

THE INSPECTION:

I love this self tanner.  It has such a pretty color.  It really does look like you have been at the beach for a week.  The product comes out extremely dark so you can see where you are applying it.  Mine came with a brush which makes it easy to put on and you don't get any on your hands.  Although it takes about 3 hours for the tan to develop, you still have immediate color when you apply it because the product is dark.  So if you needed to be tan quick, you could put this on last minute.  I normally put it on before going to bed because although it initially smells good when you first put it on, it eventually gets that self tanner smell that I hate.  So I usually wash it off in the morning.  When you shower, you will see the color guide washing off in the water, but your tan should have developed by then. The tan will last about a week. The only thing I don't like about this product is that it does tend to transfer on your sheets or the inside of your clothes until you wash it off, but it washes out with no problems.
