I was so hesitant to purchase a self tanner because so many turn your skin orange. But, after months of debating, I broke down and purchased this self-tanner. To my surprise, it works!!! I applied the product and let it dry on my body first, so I would not stain anything. After the product was dry, I felt comfortable allowing my body to touch any fabrics. In a few hours, I was actually getting a really nice color to my skin. I did this for a few days in a row, and with every application I liked it more and more. Now, I am on my second bottle. It is not sticky. It is not orange. I look better than ever!!!! Obviously I love it since I bought a second one!!! Oh, and talked my best friend into buying it too! She loves hers too! Her complexion is more olive skin-dark, my complexion is light, being a blonde. So, same bottle, we both got great results!!!
