I'm a fair skinned redhead and received a trial size of this when I bought something else. Using it by itself was a little much for my skin tone but I found that mixing about a pea sized amount of this product with an oil based body lotion (I used Johnsons Baby Oil Lotion) made for a nice pretty color and it spread more easily as it is very thick. I used it all over my body right out of the shower and looked very radiant all day. This is some good stuff!

I'm on the pale side (NW30) and have some minor scars on my legs and arms that are a bit darker than my natural skin color. I recently went to Europe where the heat and humidity made it impossible to wear anything but skirts/shorts and short sleeves. I used this in the morning after my shower as a moisturizer. It was surprisingly not greasy, not smelly and dried relatively quickly. I was even able to wear a loose white skirt without it coming off on my skirt too much (it did rub off a bit, but after 8+ hrs of walking in the heat, it's to be expected.) Overall, the color was subtle but layerable. I liked it alot more than any other body bronzers out there.

I am a very pale person, so I thought this would be great to add instant color. However, the product is really thick - almost like frosting - which made it impossible to apply a light coat of even color. So, instead, I got a thick coat of dark, unnatural orange color. On the plus side, it didn't smear and only rubbed off a little bit (where my shoes rubbed the tops of my feet).
