 Daily Glow - Firming Gradual Tanning Lotion

I used his twice a day for a week and did not notice a difference. I will keep trying.

I am a very fair-skinned lady. My arms get a nice tan, but my legs and chest stay white, so I tried this lotion to help build up some color to match my arms. I started with the light to medium version, and didn't notice much of a change (applying about 3 times per week after showering/exfoliating). I went with the medium to dark color for my second bottle and the color is great - not patchy, not too much of the DHA smell, and I get several uses out of it. I do apply a rich lotion to my ankles/feet/knees/elbows/neck before applying this lotion to help avoid uneven color buildup in these areas. The color is not too orange and looks natural on my fair, cool-toned skin. Color fades evenly also, and does not transfer to clothes or sheets. Only downside: it's hard to dispense the lotion when the bottle is half-full or less...wish this had a pump. But for the price, you can't beat the color and the low-smell! Does a good job of hydrating my dry skin, too.

I am genuinely angry by how poor this product is and wonder whether I did something wrong but I even prepped like I was using a real tanner (full shave and exfoliating) and this tan is streaky and disgusting and I legitimately cannot wear shorts or skirts.

I have used a lot of products over the years from your brand and in general have used a lot of tanning products. I bought your gradual tanning lotion thinking it would be a low maintenance way of getting a tan and something I could just do post shower. That being said, I still prepped like I was putting on self tanner (fully shaved and exfoliated which is something I understand is not even supposed to be needed with these gradual tanning lotions) and good thing I did because this is really the most disgusting tan I've ever experienced. I kept using it hoping the tan would gradually even out but it is incredibly streaky and has become so gross that I am painfully exfoliating just so that I can actually wear shorts and skirts again without exposing the awful tan. I should have stopped using the product earlier obviously after seeing how badly it worked but I have a lot of faith in this brand so I was hopeful that it was a user error on my part or a tan that would build but no, this is just a horrible product.

I used to be a self tan girly. I dreaded having to self tan, as it was so mentally exhausting, messy, and something I genuinely hated doing. I had a baby about a year ago and completely stopped self tanning. I didn't want my baby touching me or my bed (that would always get covered in my tanner) and have been PALE the last 2 years. when I saw this product, I gave it a shot and am so happy I did! it's so simple, quick, and affordable. I've only used it twice, and already have a beautiful and subtle glow. not orange what-so-ever, and it's slowly giving me some confidence back! you apply it just like a lotion, and it's a watery consistency so a little goes a long way. love not having to worry about washing it off or dealing with tanner transferring all over the place. it doesn't bunch on my knees, hands or elbows, and you can build your color to what you want. if you want some color without sacrificing your sanity, this is for you!
