I've used this stuff for years and love the way it gives me a glowing tan. It's oily at first but the way it leaves your skin feeling is great--never dry!!

Best Uses: Body, Daily Use

Bottom Line: not recommended

I tan very easily and almost never burn so I thought trying some tanning oil would be fun. I put the oil on before I headed out to the pool and was fine all day. When I got home and was out of the sun for a couple hours I noticed a red, bumpy, itchy rash on my chest and arms. I've used this product twice and it happened both times. I can't use it for tanning but it does make a good moisturizer after showers provided that I stay out of the sun.

great for staying in the sun and playing

Beware of rash

Cons: Feels Greasy or Heavy

I've used lots of sunscreens/oils and never had a problem with heat rash. I used this product and within 30 minutes my entire neck, torso, and arms were covered in a horrible itchy/stingy heat rash that lasted days. The problem with this product is that it blocks your sweat ducts and then the sweat leaks into your skin (underneath you skin) and causes the heat rash that so many people are describing.

Rash?

I like this tanning oil, and I have very sensitive skin, and did not break out. I laid out with it for three hours last weekend, and didn't have any problems. The only downside is that because of the SPF, you will tan more slowly, but it protects your skin and keeps it moisturized. Also helps a golden, pretty color develop. Overall a good product to start out the summer with, then get something darker (or nothing at all) once you're sure not to burn.

Just came back from Mexico. Been there many times and am an avid tanner. Used this product for the first time and broke out in red bumpy rash all over my body within 1 day. Now home from Mexico and still have bad itchy bumpy red rash. Trying to get rid of it with Benadryl. Wish me luck. Must be something in this that causes a reaction in some people. (I am fairly dark complected and tan easily). I would steer clear of this product if you can. Better safe than sorry.

Good to tan without getting sunburned

Pros: Creates Even Tan

Cons: Feels Greasy or Heavy

Bottom Line: recommended

At the start of last summer I was REALLY pale, and it takes me a while to get tan, and I usually end up burned after 10 mins. It takes me way too long to get tan wearing sunscreen, but if I don't then I just get sunburned. So I decided to try this, expecting to get a little burnt but with somewhat of a tan. The only thing that I don't really like about this is it's very messy (but hello, it's tanning oil). It stays on longer than I thought, even after swimming a little bit, it stayed on my skin. I spent about 4 hrs in the sun using this, and surprisingly I was not burned and left with a nice tan. I also have somewhat sensitive skin, and I didn't notice any bad reactions with this. I'll definitely buy this again next summer.

Caused a rash on me too

Pros: Hard to spray your back

Describe Yourself: Quality Oriented

Bottom Line: not recommended

I used this spray twice, about 2 weeks apart. Yesterday, on my second use, I broke out in a rash in about 15 minutes. At first I thought it was a heat rash (small red bumps on entire torso but not on arms and legs). But 24 hours later, I think it is an allergic reaction to something in the product. The rash is very itchy, and only allergy meds are making the bumps go away. I do not have sensitive skin, and since 2 other reviews are reporting the same problem, I think most people should stay away from this product.

I have used this product ...

I have used this product several times, and the last few times I have used it, I have developed a horrible heat rash. I know it's the product because when I've used other cream-based tanning lotions it doesn't happen. It definitely helps achieve a nice tan, but if you have sensitive skin, I suggest using a cream based lotion.
