TAN-LUXE THE GRADUAL - Illuminating Tanning Lotion

As I said in the reviews, it's hard to know where it's going came out very blotchy and definitely with an orange hue. I'll take a picture and show you but very blotchy.

It has a nice smell and goes on easy. I used the entire bottle and it never did add color to my legs. The rest of my body, it did add a subtle color which I was happy with.

This sunless tanner has held pretty true to its description! It smells floral/citrusy out of the bottle, goes on like a lightweight lotion, absorbs quickly w/no sticky residue, develops gradually, & doesn't appear to transfer. I've found that the typical sunless tanner smell does eventually become apparent, but it's not off-putting enough to bother me (I would rather have the tan look than not). I have also put my regular moisturizer on over it occasionally when I feel dry. It's been great on my face, which always feels risky to me! And the only time I noticed it transfer to my clothes was after I applied it & then went on a very intense hike a few hours later, but it was minimal & only where I really sweat. I don't think it would've done that if I would've waited 24 hrs. I look & feel better with a tan & this product has been a great buy! Good for most any skin tone & is buildable.

This is perfect when you want a subtle, hint if color. Ita easy to apply, dont smell and itnt streaky or oragnge. Perfect of pale or and light complexion.

I dont review products often at all but this has quickly become my favorite. I see some reviewers saying its streaky. I get an even color and it also fades evenly. To do this, I exfoliate my elbows, upper arms, and ankles with a coffee based exfoliant. A lot of the sugar exfoliants leave behind an oil that affects your tan. Apply a regular lotion to ankles, feet, knees, & elbows. I then apply a quarter size amount to lower legs, thighs, arms, chest, and back using a tanning mitt. I do my knees and elbows last to make sure not a bunch of color deposits there. When I first used it, I was worried that the tanning mott would drink up too much of the product but this has been the best technique. Be sure to rub it in REALLY GOOD until it's all the way dry and you wont have any streaking. Then I take a dime size amount on a makeup brush and do my feet. Apply regular lotion to hands. Take another dime size amount and do my hands making sure to go in between the fingers and bend your knuckles when applying. Honestly, this stuff is the best and develops FAST for a gradulal tanner. Lasts me about a week and fades evenly. Just buy it!
