Very good tan but not for oily skin August 22, 2008
I used this product all last year and I was always with a natural tan. Everyone thought it was my real color! It does not give you a yellow shade but a very nice bronze! It is wonderful if you have normal to dry skin.
But this year my hormones changed and I develop some female 30's acne and I could not use this product, every time I would put some on my face my skin would break out. So, if you are planning to use for your face and places you normally break out, I advise you not to use this one.
If not, than go ahead because it gives you a nice tan and a smooth skin! But be aware that once you open it, you better use it soon because it doesn't work as well after that (they say it on the bottle).
 The best! August 6, 2008
This is the ONLY product that doesn't turn me ORANGE! I love it and will continue to use it. Great way to save your skin and keep it young.
Top of the Basic Self Tanner List August 4, 2008
Have had several friends who are using it, and since it was listed "best of Sephora", I thought I would give it a try. The result was good... but, I am still on the search for a PERFECT self tanner. The color it gives is a little less orange than drugstore "gradual tanning" lotions for sure, but there are still some orange undertones that come through. Thinking about trying the Intensive version to see if I can get a deeper brown color. Texture is quite pleasant, and the smell really isn't that bad (I dont know what everyone in the other reviews is complaining about).
All in all, good product, okay for the price. But, like I said, still shopping for the 'Perfect' tanner.
I have very light thin skin and this works! July 26, 2008

My skin is very light, thin and burns easily so I'm always looking for a good self tanner. This one is really nice because it works quickly and I have yet to see any lines or streaks which would show up easily on my skin. It doesn't settle into your fingernails while you are applying it and it seems to dry quickly. Now, you won't get a deep dark tan in one applaication, but it's nice to put it on and then go out to dinner with glowing skin. You end up looking very healthy without overdoing it.
This stuff is the Best! July 22, 2008
I have tried MANY self-tanners, this on rocks! It is a gel, so it doesn't clog or settle in pores. This can be used on body and face. It smells better than others, "perfumy". What I love so much about this is that the color is buildable. You gradually gain color, so you aren't one day white, then the next day golden tan. Since the color is buildable, you also don't get those weird harsh lines around your hands, feet, or hairline. I applied the first "coat" to my entire body; face, ears, hairline, hands, and feet. Then the next day I went back and applied again to all the major areas of the body.
Some tips that I learned: (1) take your time, make sure you don't miss a spot. (2)dont wear gloves, but do wash your hands about every minute that you are applying. This way you can feel what you are doing, but the tanner doesn't get left on your palms long enough to absorbe. dont forget about cuticles and under nails. (3)baking soda is a great and extrmely cheap exfoliator. (4)watch out for skin folds and wrinkles. The back of your ankles, your neck, under your breasts...(5)watch out for knees and elbows. you might want to skip a second application on these parts.
I have very pale skin, but olive undertones. I got a great golden brown tan, that was very natural looking, not a hint of orange! This is worth every penny, and time spent applying. Also with the extra plant extracts I feel like I am doing my skin good. I will never use any other product.
