Not Quite Right
Pro's: Can see it going on, nice color<br />Con's: Too dark, somewhat uneven, comes off too easily<br /><br />I have used this self tanner about 3 times now and am not super impressed. I am extremely pale, Scotch Irish, strawberry blonde hair and about the only self tanner that has worked for me has been Jergens natural glow daily moisturizer...and maybe a few similar products. I applied this with the Proelegante tanning mitt (an amazing mitt) and applied it on just my legs the first couple of times, and then my entire body.<br /><br /> It is a very dark color and will stain your hands badly so I do not recommend using hands for application. However, the color is nice because you can see where it is going on. It did rub off slightly on my clothes, but not nearly as badly as I expected. It keeps getting on my toilet seat though, probably from residual cleaner? I loved how it looked in the morning after I applied it, but after I showered and the bronzer came off it was not nearly as even. I wouldn't say it's terrible, the streaking wasn't as bad as some self tanners, but it was very obvious around my ankles and wrists. I also had it come off in weird areas even after I showered.<br /><br />After working out in leggings it had rubbed off COMPLETELY where the seams were, leaving white streaks down my legs. I would be uncomfortable using this in the morning and then wearing nice clothes and going about my normal day. You have to treat it more like a spray tan. It is also coming off spotty on my legs, probably in dryer spots since I live in a drying climate. This product is also just way too dark for someone as pale as I am. If you already have a bit of color it may work better. I think a lot of the reviews are biased because of free product on this item. I am going to try using Jergens for a few days and this on top to see if it gives me a more even color, but I probably will not buy again. It has potential but the formula needs a bit of work.
