Best Self Tanner and all natural!
This is the best self-tanner I've ever used. And I love that it rates the least toxic on the EWG website, which is how I discovered it. Here are the things I like about it: 1) It's thick and goes on slightly white, so you can see where you've put it--then rub it in. I love that it's not brown colored--since then you have to worry about staining your clothes/sheets. 2) It has a really nice light coconut/vanilla scent. It will turn to that typical self tanner scent after a couple hours until you wash it off. This is unavoidable, since it's the DHA that is interacting with your skin that is making that smell. But I've found it's not as strong a smell as some self tanners I've used. 3) The bronze color is very natural looking. I am very fair, and it looks really good. I actually look naturally tan with this stuff. Of course, you have to watch for ankles, hands, wrists, etc. And I haven't tried it on my face, since I use Retin A, so it would probably just get exfoliated off and look weird. Instead, I use a bronzing powder on my face. Also, my trick is to put some coconut oil on my ankles, feet, knees, elbows, underarms and hands first and then apply the self tanner. AND I also reapply the next day to get the best, most even tan. It lasts for about 4-5 days before looking a bit blotchy and faded. 4) I like that I can put it on at night and sleep with it and my sheets don't get all stained. Things I don't like: 1) It's a bit greasy feeling-especially right after you put it on and it takes a bit to "dry". 2) The self-tanner smell--but there's nothing you can do to avoid that...since anything with DHA will do that. My boyfriend said it's not that noticeable, so that's good! I hope this review was helpful! I wrote it to support the company so they will keep making it!! :-)
