Apply to face with a small sponge brush from the hardware store. No messy hands, no use for gloves. If it gets on your hands wash immediately.

I'm truthfully not a fan of self tanners. After turning 30 this year however, I started to think about the things you don't think about when you're 19, like the damaging effects of the sun and tanning beds. I like to keep a golden glow in the summer, and I made a decision to preserve my skin as much as possible and make self tanning my way of achieving that pretty glow. In my opinion, MOST self tanners are gross. At least most of the ones I have used. Even the ones that other people say are the best. The color is weird and they never look truly even and natural and rub off on everything. That was until I tried this one. The first night I used it, I applied it all over and hoped for the best. It dries extremely fast and isn't very blendable so I was worried. When I woke up in the morning, it looked decent. Not great however. I was very careful and there were still spots that looked a bit discolored. The color was the closest I've seen to natural though, so I took the advice of another reviewer on here. I mixed this with regular lotion and applied it to my whole body. I woke up to a natural, even, beautiful glow. I think this is the key with self tanners, they need to be mixed with something and then applied each night until you reach the right color. On their own I think they're just too strong and leave too much room for error. I will continue to use this and mix it with a quality body lotion. I do have to say, this is the first self tanner I have ever used that doesn't completely come off of my legs when I shave them. I think this is as good as it gets as far as faux tans go.

This is a nice product. Nice color. Can streak, so be careful to apply evenly. Has a little bit of shimmer to it. Nice for a summer evening.

I've used self-tanners for as many years back as I can count, but when I found this Loreal product a few years ago, I've stuck with it. People are always complimenting me on my tan ~ LOL! And when I call it my "faux tan" ~ they can't believe it. My experience with self-tanners, is that after a couple hours of having it on, they ALL have an odor, which is the chemical dye in the products. Once showering, that problem is gone!

Just want to share a little trick I've learned...many of you have complained that the formula is heavy or greasy. I've gotten around that by mixing the bronzer into moisturizer. I use Khiels, but any lotion seems to work. I use about 1 part tanner to two parts bronzer - it isn't an exact science. Just put a dollop of lotion in your hand, and add about half as much tanner, blend together and apply. I believe that it gives a much more smooth and even tan, since you have more time to work with it before it dries, doesn't require as much blending, and best of all...makes the tube last much longer. I've been using Sublime since it came on the market, and I haven't found anything (drugstore, Sephora or department store) better!

I don't usually buy products like this unless I've read a lot of good reviews about it, which I did. It seemed like a good, inexpensive option, so I bought it. I am very pale and usually just freckle instead of tanning, so I've been looking for a good self-tanner. I used it as instructed on the bottle, but I was not impressed. I used it only two nights in a row and even after much exfoliating and moisturizing, it left me very streaky and blotchy. It was very liquidy and I had a hard time blending it into my skin, due to the "quick-dry". Also, no matter how many times I washed my hands afterwords, my palms were noticeably darker. It made my entire body an orangey-yellow color and I got a lot of comments saying how fake it looked. I proooobably won't even finish off the bottle because I hate the orange look. The smell however, wasn't bad... and I will admit.. I DID love the sparkles :)

I began using the Loreal Sublime Glow daily moisturizer + gradual tan. I really liked the product, but wanted a darker tan. After reading a lot of positive reviews, I tried this product. Maybe I just don't have the patience or the precision, but it is quite a bit more work for me. So I went back to the Sublime Glow where there is more forgiveness when it comes to application.

i HAVE TRIED JUST ABOUT EVERY SELF TANNER ON THE MARKET AND THINK THIS ONE IS THE BEST! iT IS THE LEAST GREASY, FASTEST DRYING AND GIVES THE MOST NATURAL TAN ( GET THE DARK EVEN IF YOU ARE FAIR), AND DOESNT STAIN CLOTHES. I HADNT REALIZED THERE WAS AN AHA IN IT UNTIL RECENTLY WHICH MAKES SENSE AS MY SKIN ALWAYS FEELS EXTRA SMOOTH AFTER I USE IT, WHICH IS AN ADDED BONUS. I AM TOTALLY ADDICTED .

I'm a dark complected guy and when I use this product a couple of times a week it gives me a dark natural look and nobody has ever told me that it looked fake. When I first started buying it a couple of years ago there was obviously a different set of ingredients and I liked the old formula better but this is still better than any of the other brands I've tried, and I've tried quite a few. My only complaint is the glittery look it gives your skin. Guys don't generally want to look sparkly. But that washes off the first time you bath and you're left with what you want and that's tanned and natural looking skin.

I have received more compliments when I use this product than any other. I have used everything. I have tanned at the beach, in a tanning salon, I still use the spray tan (mystic) from time to time, but it is expensive. I have tried every self tanner out there form chanel to banana boat. I have very fare skin, I cannot tan naturally. I love the Bronze loreal subline because it tans your right away with the bronzer and it has the most beautiful but subtle shimmer added to it, so when you put it, you litterally sparkle and glow. I go from looking like the palest person on earth to miss hawaiin tropic. I have had more compliments and people asking me what it is that I use, they don't even think it's a self tanner. when I tell them it's loreal sublime bronze self tanner they can't believe it. it does go on a bit heavy and you will feel a little sticky. I like the deep color because my skin is light and I need a lot of product. I don't look orange and it goes on even. I put a little on my arms, chest and legs when I go out at night for the shimmer effect. you will love it. If they stop making this, I will cry!
