I've had my bad shares of self tanner/tanner sprays and this one really surprised me. The gel goes on lightly, i just rub it all over like it's a body cream. Leave it to dry for a couple of minutes and i'm done. Within 2-3 applications, i can really see a different in my skin tone. It's definitely more tanned. I don't like to tan because I have a Olive skin tone and i don't tan well, it turns ashy instead. So this is a great option. I also love this because it dries fast, doesn't rub/transfer to sheets/clothes, doesn't feel sticky on the face and most of all this really gives a nice color fast!
