Self Tanner Sunless Tanning Lotion Fair to Medium Skin Tones Sunless Cream Streak-Free Moisturizing Self Tanning with 8 fl oz. Natural Quick-Drying Results Original Proven Formula

Great. Makes it easy to add a bit of color to my face, arms or legs. Need to be careful around the ankles and knees as it does darken a big there, but a bit of a rub with a towel or wash cloth will lighten it up. Doesn't make you turn orange. This medium doesn't give a dark tan but tans enough to keep you from glowing in the dark. Sometimes I use a mitt, sometimes not, but after washing well with soap and water, I find I don't have overly tanned palms. No strong smell. One trick around ankles and knees is to put an equal amount or smaller amount of your favorite lotion with it. It still tans but not as much. Adjust as needed.

I wanted to use this a couple times before I reviewed it. Best tan product I've ever used at any price. I consider this a great value. My tips: I shower/shave/exfoliate with my regular body wash and a pouf. I use a little moisturizer (Vaseline Intensive Care) on my feet/knees/elbows. Two pumps will do my entire leg, saving my knees for last. The most important tip is to rub it in in a circular motion and CONTINUE doing that even after it seems to have all been absorbed. I DO NOT use it on my feet and only rub my hand over my elbows after the product has been completely absorbed off my hands on my arms. If I make a little goof on my feet, a baby wipe with mineral oil as an ingredient will scrub it right off. I have zero streaks and no "dirty" looking creases. I use a small amount on my face and then use my moisturizer. It is a lovely tan and not even a hint of nasty orange. I do not use mitts, but wash my hands after applying with no issues. Dries quickly. That your "tan" lasts a week or more is another plus. I am a devotee to this product!

I did not give this product a 5 only because no self tanner is ever perfect. However, to date this is the best self tanner I have ever tried. While the size is not large, it will last for a very long time because first thing I noticed is a little goes a long way. It did not leave any orang-ey color at all... which is a first for me! I am fair skinned, and it gave a nice subtle sun kissed color. I did get a few streaks on the tops of my feet, but it was not very noticeable. I did not notice any patchy spots as it faded, and it seemed to last throughout the week. The smell is slightly that of a self tanner, but after showering the next day I no longer noticed it. I sometimes have a problem with skin lotions causing a slight rash, small reddish bumps on my skin that hurt to scratch... I have gotten this reaction with just about every self tanner I have ever tried... but that did not happen with Famous Dave's. Very happy and would recommend! This is an update: I am happy beyond words with this tanner! I apply it every Sunday evening before bed. It lasts through the week, just gradually fading. It does not fade in patches, and it actually smells quite nice. I heard many tips, and this is what I do for my perfect tan: 1) I don't do any "extra" exfoliating, I already use an exfoliating washcloth daily, so I use that and a quick shave on my legs. 2) Put a quick dab of my regular Aveeno lotion on my kneecaps, elbows, ankles and feet, I apply my usual face lotion. 3) Put on some latex gloves (bought a box of 50 at Wal Mart for under $4.00) 4) I put on a section at a time. Start with my right lower leg, less that 1/2 pump, and just rub in and rub in until there is nothing left to rub. Do my upper leg, then move on to my left leg and so on. I use it very sparingly and lightly on my face, arms and chest. The only thing I recommend is that if you are darker skinned or looking for a darker tan (I am fair skinned, but not pale, and I do tan pretty well.) But you may want to see if they have a a formula for darker skin. I do not think it looks orangey, but I am thinking if I applied it more frequently it could get that way, so I just stick to once a week. This product also goes a long way, it takes such a small amount, this bottle will last forever!

Went to Hawaii on vacation and got a great tan just laying out, swimming, and taking walks. It's my favorite personal "souvenir". My tan is fading and where I live it's unbearably hot and humid. You can't go outside or lay out. So I decided to give this tanner a try. It works beautifully! My tan is back and I have been able to even everything out! Great product! Dries fast, great color, no stains on clothes or sheets. I use it 3 times a week to maintain my glow. I made the mistake of not using gloves the first time. Ended up with orange hands. But, I was able to clean them...used a little bleach and soapy water. Now I have gloves and it glides on. Thank you Dave's for helping me keep my tan! Mahalo!!

I tried this, along with several other tanners to find one that wouldn't make my sensitive skin break out in an itchy rash. I like this product in that it doesn't have any odor, it dries quickly, and I like the resulting color. It was better with my sensitive skin but not good enough to be able to continue. I did continue to use it on my legs which don't break out. I live in a very dry climate so perhaps that contributes but the fade is very, very blotchy. The tanned areas look almost spotted as it begins to fade and I exfoliate very well before I use it. Overall, it's not bad but I won't be purchasing another bottle.

My skin is so white, I am translucent. I'm not kidding. I have been going to a tanning bed for a few years to obtain some color because I tend to look anemic. My mother had skin cancer removed from her face last year. She never went to a tanning bed or laid out in the sun. I do not want to go through that, so I have been looking for an alternative for myself. Most of the products turn me orange. This product gives me just the right amount of bronze color without looking orange at all. I can also add it to my face cream! Once you get a nice base color, you only need to use it once or twice a week. Or, you can dilute it with other lotion for the "in between" times. I just canceled my account with the tanning bed place. I will be ordering more of Dave's items. Regarding the smell: This product does not add a fragrance, therefore it will smell like any other self tanning lotion. I did not take off points for that because they ALL Smell that way or they try to mask the smell by adding too much fragrance. I usually use this product on the nights I am not going out. Side note: get the mitt... it makes using a self tanner so much easier.

I don't know what all the reviews are about. I did fallowed all the instructions and The color was not dark at all. I had to apply few times before it came out as "just natural tan". It also supposed to be unscented but You can still smell it- my husband hates the smell! The most disappointing was that it does not last longer than to the very first shower. They claim on the bottle that it supposed to last for up to 5 days- maybe if you don't take a shower- and I'm talking about "gentle" shower not scrubbing at all. The only good thing is that it doesn't stain the sheets. However I will not buy it anymore and would not recommended it to anyone- especially for that price!

Great product. I have been in the spa industry 20 years and have used several sunless tanning products. This one makes the cut. Colorless for application and wear so you are NOT greasy or leaving product on your clothes or car seats. It's tacky consistency lets you know you've applied it evenly. As the tan develops the tackiness turns into soft hydrated skin. Odor is mild and once you take a shower (8 hrs later or for as long as you want) it goes away almost completely. I find the longer I wait to shower the better my tan looks. Appy one application 2 days before the day you want it to look best. Your tan will last 5-7 days with one application. If you want to look tan on a saturday apply it thursday. I also recommend a quick dry buff prior to application.
