TAN-LUXETHE GRADUAL - Illuminating Tanning Lotion

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.

I wanted to love this. The smell when you apply is actually really nice and fresh, however it does seem to change to a self tanner smell after a couple hours of wearing it. Sadly, it is definitely orange and quite streaky. I had a dermatologist appointment the day after applied it, and she called me out for being streaky (lol).

I'm a pale girly and most tans look orange on me or look really, terribly obviously fake. This is a really beautiful product. The application is foolproof, the color is natural, it is moisturizing, and it doesn't have a terrible smell! I look forward to using this! It is also very buildable: I can use every other day and get a lighter color that looks really natural on my pale skin, but if you want something deeper, I have no doubt you could it every day to build up something deeper. This flexibility is great. It also doesn't stain clothing or my sheets. The first few times I used it, I made sure to prep my skin well - lots of exfoliation, but I have used it without any skin prep at all and it still looks great. I have dry skin, so this is a huge plus. I have used this before spending all day in the water and it held up better than I was expecting, but I did reapply, which is normal. It is more pricey than lots of other options, but the positives make this absolutely worth it! You will not regret trying this.
