Loving Tan Deluxe Gradual Tan

I love the color I get from this product!! I am very pale without using self tanner or a gradual tan!! I like using a gradual tan, because self tanning every week gets exhausting. I had melanoma back in 2020 so no longer use tanning beds. My only tan is from self tanners and gradual tan lotions. This is the best gradual tan I have found that gives me color quickly.

I'm pasty fair everywhere except my arms. I was in the market to help my day glow legs match my arms. Shade medium is perfect. I apply with all the love and care of a standard self tanner (exfoliate, mit and moisturizer after on the dry bits to blend). Color guard makes it easy to apply evenly and let's me be dinner ready in minutes. It is still a self tanning product so the color guard does oxides orange after a few hours, still has that smell. I am fair with neutral undertones and the end result after 1 application helps me feel even in tone and polished. I am about to repurchase.

I needed a better alternative to a spray tan for my sister's wedding. I read a lot of reviews and landed on this product. I used it for about 5-6 days before the wedding and had a really natural and glowy tan. Not orange at ALL. I used it in conjunction with the facial tanner (which I would also recommend). Both products are very buildable. Downsides: I had to apply daily (sometimes twice daily) to maintain color; use bedsheets you don't care about because it will transfer.

I love the express tan in dark but the gradual dark makes me look more orange than brown. Im not sure what the difference is but the color outcome for me is very different.

Backstory- im someone with a family who all is brown haired, olive skinned except me. im naturally pale like a literal ghost- blonde hair, you get the point. Im about to go to college, so i decided to buy something that seemed easier to put on regularly rather than foam/gels. i gave this a shot in shade dark. i was not expecting to love it SO much. ive spent SO much money on drugstore/high end self tanners and nothing does me as good as this product. i was scared i was going to be orange, but im really not with this lotion!! Honestly i wish they had an extra dark shade!! i saw results right away, however i would put it on multiple days in a row to get a good start so itll last longer and stay darker. it blends amazingly. i use my hands and a little bit of other lotion, mix it in and put it on! (i know it seems bad but just make SURE to wash your hands extremely well afterwards). also, this is very expensive, but so worth it to me. i feel as if i can actually fit in with everyone who gets so tan in the summer, lol. (i burn horribly, ive also gotten sun poisoning). please just try this out!! changed my confidence a lot!!
