"Since the label specifies that it is for "all skin types" desiring a deep, dark tan, I believe it delivers *when applied daily after daily exfoliation*. If you are fair (as I am), expect a yellowish cast following your first shower (hours after application)until you apply another coat or two.

Streaks

"After reading reviews on this product and how to apply it the best, I showered and exfoliated. I put on gloves and carefully applied the lotion taking extra care around my feet.

"This self-tanner works great for me - nice color and it lasts. You need to find the self-tanner that works best with your skin type and complexion. As with any self-tanner, if you don't exfoliate regularly you will get a streaky and blotchy looking tan. The only thing that I really dislike about …"  Read Full Review »
