This is a truly excellent self tanner.I have used every major brand of tanner.Clarins is the best but also three times as expensive as this one.More importantly,this brand does not test on animals.

Overall, good product that I would use again and recommend to others. I'd never used a self tanner before, and the reviews I'd read for other products scared the hell out of me - with this there was no excessive body "prep", staining of sheets/clothes/hands/ankles/elbow, orange/streaking, etc. This gave good natural color. I do exfoliate in the shower daily, so that helped with areas that I'd put too much on (knees, ankles) but in no way were these patches wildly obvious. I washed my hands afterward and there was no palm staining. It did not rub onto clothing or towels, and dries quickly. The color is subtle and natural, so if you're looking to be a deep bronze a la Jersey Shore, this is not for you. I use other Nature's Gate products (love that they're cruelty free) and this is good quality as well. I use it everyday and it's given me color in my legs which don't tan in the sun. One drawback is smell - it smells a little like play-dough, but it's very light and easily masked (sounds like all of these products have a bad smell to them, and this is much better than the standard plastic self-tanner smell). This is the only reason I gave it 4 stars, but debated on giving it 5. I would definitely recommend, and if it's not dark enough for you, you can always upgrade to the industrial stuff :)

I have used other self tanning products but this one is really good. You can skip a day and it won't start to fade or rub off. NO orange color. Good moisturizer too. Need to give it time to dry however.

I believed what was written - gradual , even and NATURAL tan. NOT SO. It made my legs streaky orange - copper looking - DARK ORANGE!
BEWARE!!!

I mostly want to warn seasoned ST users not to try the medium version if you pale to light/medium range as it will turn out orange on you. Using a medium ST is a trick us pale folk have used to get a deeper tan but you can't do that with this. Below is my review for the light version though as I think it will be the same for a medium toned person.

The light version of this is AMAZING on my NC10 skin – it has been my holy grail lotion for several months now!!! I picked this up on a whim. I have used sunless tanner on and off for a while when I saw this so I figured why not. I have tried 'glow' lotions from other drugstore brands in the past and hated them. This one however gives you a natural healthy radiant glow. One of my favorite things with this is that I don't need to pay careful attention to how I apply it. I just slap it on like a regular lotion and it comes out flawless - unlike the time it takes for STs. I don't feel like this product makes me appear any darker really, just makes my skin look beautiful with a peachy tone to it. (Though it will literally darken you because I have to use a different color foundation when I wear it (I go from NC10 to NC20, I just don't think its dark enough for someone to ask you if you got sun or anything). However, I find that even though this doesn't make me dark it still makes me look healthier and prettier than ST's so it's still a winner for me. The color lasts for a pretty long time too - about 3 - 4 days for one application except for my face. It comes off of my face every night when I wash it so I have to apply it nightly but that's no different than any ST I use either. It will layer so you can build it darker if you want, you just won't get super tan with it. I wouldn't say this product smells good but its very light. I just make sure I wash in the morning (I use this at night before bed) then put on a great smelling lotion afterwards. Oh! I have also had no staining of clothes with this!

There are three surprising results I saw with this that I did not expect. 1) It evens out my blotchy skin tone, especially around my mouth where it's naturally darker. 2) It helps calm my mild rosacea when it flares. 3) It actually helps my acne calm down some. I don't know why it does these things as most lotions actually irritate my rosacea and my acne is typically a pain in the butt either way you slice it. This might be unique to me, but I love love love this stuff for that! I actually feel I can go out without foundation when I use it!! :) I hope this works for you too!

I have pretty fair skin and freckles. I use this in combination with the Alba Botinica Self Tanning lotion. I use the Alba once a week, and use the Nature's Gate about 3 times a week to build and maintain a glow. This lotion works great. A mild, natural looking glow, not orange. It smells kind of spicy, and does not make you stink like other self tanners. It moisturizes well. You do need to apply carefully, as you will streak if you are not thourough.Take extra care around your wrists and ankles. Make sure you let it dry for a few minutes before dressing, it will stain your clothes. I apply it and then put on my bathrobe, which doesn't show the stains, and then get dressed around 10 minutes later.

I was so pleasantly surprised with this product. I have been using Sublime Glow for years when it hit me that I should at least TRY to find a healthier product for my skin. Nature's Gate hit the mark perfectly. This product is paraben free; it smells good; it doesn't streak; the color is great. My favorite part is that it goes on smoother than any other lotion I have ever used. I'll never go back. Bravo, Nature's Gate!

I have used many,many self-tanners and this one is just as good as any of them.I like the fact that it is somewhat subtle.I have the medium tint which seems to be about right for a medium/light skin tone.I have never used a self-tanner without parabens that does not test on animals,so this will be the one I use from now on.

I am a fair-skinned Irish girl whose legs are always the last body part to get any hint of color. I am also a summer skirt fan, so self-tanners are essential. I have been a user of Jergen's gradual tanning moisturizers in the past, The Fair has not done a thing, and the Medium has always left streaks and looked "fake". I decided to try Nature's Gate after reading the reviews. It is AMAZING. First of all, no hint of tanner odor. Second, it gives me a golden glow. A golden, natural glow! I can even use it on my TOES and it looks totally natural -- no detectable lines! I am so happy with this product! Hint: With self-tanners, I dab my ankles with a tissue to soften up any detectable borders and also dab ever-so-lightly to pick up any excess cream. I highly, highly recommend this product!!

I highly recommend this product! I have tried sooo many self tanners and this one is the Best! I always get soo many compliments on my 'tan' legs and I tell them: Self-tanner! The color is so natural, I get the medium shade and that gives me allot of color. I am pretty pale and blonde and this product makes me look like I just came from the beach - without the wrinkles!
