Review (5/5): Self-tanning addict with high standards
I recently stopped using tanning beds after 15 years, so I was doing a lot of research on Amazon and other beauty websites for the best self-tanner.
After reading tons of reviews from about 75 self-tanners (of all price ranges) I purchased one.
I was pleasantly surprised by the DarkSyde Ultra Bronze self-tanning lotion.
**Pros**
Price is great!
---It was under $15 with Amazon Prime.
Lasted longer than I thought it would.
---I would say it lasted about 5-7 days. Many tend to last 2-3 days.
Easy application
----Don't freak out that it's green in color for application. It turns to a bronzed color on your skin as it develops over 1-4 hours.
----Be sure to use a tanning mitt (can purchase on Amazon, Ulta or Sally Beauty Supply stores for $5 to $8)
---For your face, I would recommend a make-up sponge.
---For additional precaution to not stain your fingers and palms, I wear the disposable gloves I use when I color my hair. You can also purchase them in 10-12 packs at the store in the cleaning products section.
***Cons***
I miss the tanning bed!
All in all, this is a great product that can be used to achieve a dark color, several applications per bottle and is very inexpensive.
