Does anyone use this? How does it work? Is it something of a self tanner? Does it come off on your clothes?

Sorry so many questions but I am not looking forward to losing my tan and thought I might try this

 

[Tiggeroo]

I love it. It can stain a tiny bit when it's wet but I've never seen anything on my clothes. It gives a natural tan that's gradual as you use it more. It will stain the palms of your hands a bit too.

Does it wash off? How does this thing really work?

 

[m&m's mom]

I love it!
I would never have bought it unless I read about how so many people on this board raved about it.
It is not so dark that you have to be worried about streaks or uneveness.
I put it on my face every other day and use on my legs and arms every 3 days or so. Very natural looking. Have not a single issue w/ it coming off on anything.
I put it on at night and don't always wait the 10 mins or so it says to wait and have not seen any on my clothes.
I have 4 bottles because it was on sale and everyone said it was so hard to get. I plan on using it year round - it is that natural looking.

Thanks, I may try it!

Have it, love it! You do need to let it dry before you put clothes on or it can get on them, but it usually dries in 3-5mins. I found that if you put it on everyday, you can look kinda orange, but if you do it every other day it's not so bad. And be careful around your ankles. Got really bad streak marks there by accident!!

I tried it and it caused me to break out, just little tiny pimples. But they were on my arms, shoulders and chest. I stopped using it and they went away. Everyone's different, just thought I'd throw that out there.

so is it one of those have to wash your hands after appplying thing?

any redheads use this?

 

[MickeysMommy]

I still don't entirely understand this whole concept. It's NOT a self tanner right? What about it washing off? And, if it just "colors" the first level of skin, what about when you shave? Does it come off?

I know, I'm stupid about this

In my mind, it *is* a self-tanner--just a very low-level one. I used it every day for awhile. It took about 3-4 days for the color to show up and I was impressed at how natural it looked. But after, say, a week, it started to look fake and I had to back off. Then I could start again and it would look natural and then it would "go to far" again. That's just my experience. I'm a brunette with fair skin. Not porcelain-fair but the type that burns first and then tans later.

Me too. That's why I was worried about this. I burn first like once, then I can get pretty tan. I have lost some of my tan from this summer but don't want to be pasty white like I usually am in the middle of the winter so I thought this would be a good alternative.

any redheads use this?

Me. I tried it in July. The website swears it won't turn your skin orange or streak. Well, my feet were orange and streaky. When I called to ask why this happened I was told that I either used too much product or that there was too much protein in my skin. I like how it was all my fault

 

[swilphil]

I've used it a little bit and like it. I thought I read somewhere that it has a similar ingredient to what is in the stuff that they use at those spray tan places. It does come in light and dark versions, so that may help some of the fairer people.

I was using it this Spring, but DH had a fit when it caused a orange ring around the hot tub - which came off easily BTW.

I really liked it, but you do have to be careful around the knees, ankles and feet. Also, it works a lot better if you exfoliate first.
