This product did not work for me at all!! Maybe it's because I am so pale but it made my skin more orange than tan. Still on the endless search for the perfect sunless tanner. :)

This is, by far, the best self-tanner for arms and legs that I have ever used. Builds color gradually, which is why I think there is no streaking or orangeness. I shave with the Mac III, then...

I realize this product works well compared to others, but it's no mean the best... FAR from being the best. My biggest problem is how rich/thick it is. In order to get any color, you would have...

Well, I'm not a huge fan of Hawaiian Tropic products, but after reading the reviews here, I decided to try this. I really like it! I am the palest person ever, like one shade up from albino, but I...
