The sleek white tube stuck out to me when this arrived in my NZ Brands Best beauty box ever, an added bonus was it came with an application mitt and normally you need to purchase these separately when you buy tanning lotion.
First I exfoliated my skin all over before applying the tanner. The formula of this is like whipped cream, its thick like cream but also light, it reminds me of caramel (delicious) It has a light tanning scent which impressed me, I dont like the fake tanning smell so this was a big plus for me.
Using the glove I applied a dollop of tanner onto the middle and with circular motions I rubbed it in. I was amazed when I first applied this how quickly and smoothly it absorbed into my skin. It was also an instant change in colour on my skin. I found if I put too much cream onto my mitt it was harder to rub into my skin, its easier to use a small amount and apply more a little bit at a time. I wait for the first layer to dry and then I add a second layer. A fan made drying time a lot more easier and using a full length mirror to make sure you get every inch of your body.
Towards the end of the day the tan darkens but after you shower it takes that darkness away . I like the idea that each day you can apply more to build up the colour, on the second day I applied another layer and it was a perfect shade for me. When applying this there was no streaks on either days which impressed me.
Over the past few days my tan has slowly lightened and its been gradual, I love the shade it gives me, its like a caramel tan with no orange to it and it is very hydrating on my skin.
I would highly recommend this tanner, I will be repurchasing this again.
Finally with the Summer season near I have been able to try this tanner out. My only experience with tanner is aerosol tan . I've never tried a tanner in a cream form. I got this in my nz brands box in the middle of winter so I couldn't really try this out straight away. I've tried a couple of Oasis products and have enjoyed them all so far and was looking forward to trying this one out.
This tanner comes in a white tube thats easy to get product out of . I don't think white was a good idea for a tanning container as I did get tanning smears on it. It came with a black velvet mitt. On the opposite side of the mit is this thin material similar to nylon. The consistency of this cream is super soft creamy a brown paste . The smell of it is terrible. It smells like old fish oil. Maybe they could add in a natural scent .
Before using this I shaved my legs and did a light body scrub. I put dots of this tanning cream across my legs . I use the mitt provided to smooth this product out. I wasn't sure which side to use so I used both. Silly mistake I made the nylon side seeped through onto the palm of my hand. Luckily this product is easy to wash off.
I'm wearing shorts a lot now and I've been using this tanner . It lasts me all day long. I didn't have any streaking or colour fade. There wasn't any transfer onto light coloured clothing either. I found it easy to come off my skin. The only thing I didn't like was the smell of it. Otherwise overall it's a great product for a warm summer glowy skin.
