TAN-LUXE THE GRADUAL - Illuminating Tanning Lotion

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!

This is so much better than dealing with patchy and gross mouse! The tan is super even and pretty. I'm verrrryyy pale and pink but this tan is the best thing I've ever tried. No orange, a nice sun kissed glow. You have to REALLYY rub this in and spend time on it. But still super easy. For me, one application was a big difference but this is very build able if you want a deeper tan too. It looks so natural I really am impressed. My hands turned out perfect but make sure to wash them super well or they will look super dark.

In the summer my arms tend to get darker than my legs because they're exposed to the sun more often. That means when I wear shorts on vacation, my legs are ghostly white and it looks odd. I've stayed away from self tanners since some bad experiences in the 90s but I decided technology has probably come a long way and I'd give it a try. I didnt want anything too dark and I wanted it to be buildable so I could match my arms without going too far. It worked so well! Two applications and it matched. No transfer. It dried quickly and the smell was fine. If youre looking fir a quick dark tan though, this isn't for you.
