![]() There's even some vitamin E in the formula to hydrate and nourish skin, which is helpful in avoiding splotchy streaks due to dry patches. I never have to worry about staining my clothes or ruining my bedsheets when using it. Perhaps most importantly, this formula is extremely quick-drying and transfer-resistant (which anyone who has gotten a spray tan knows can be quite an issue). It's also a medium shade that's easily buildable with more applications. I love how diluted it is, too, making the process of layering on a gradual tan pretty impossible to mess up. This sheer lotion is lightweight and airy it feels refreshingly cool when applied directly to the skin. It rings in at just $11 and proves you don't have to break the bank for an extremely effective formula. I've tested dozens of sunless tanners out in hopes of mimicking my usual summer tan, and this one from L'Oréal takes the gold. ![]() They (and we) recommend wearing sunscreen every time you go outside, whether or not you use self-tanners. ![]() ![]() The concern that some doctors point to is that people who use self-tanners may be less likely to prioritize skin protection. I’m not sure how long a normal bottle of self tanner is supposed to last but I probably only have a few more uses before I’ll need to go out and buy another one.DHA is largely considered safe for external use, but, according to Harvard Health Publishing, there haven't been many studies on its long-term effects. The reason it’s an 8 out of 10 and not a 10 out of 10 is the fact that I felt I needed to use a different product on my face and I went through a good amount of the bottle in just a few applications. It lasts about a week if you apply more than once. You can achieve the color you desire without looking orange. I would totally recommend getting the L’Oreal Sublime Bronze Hydrating Self Tanning Water Mousse! Since I don’t have much to compare it to at this point, I’d give it a 8/10. This left my face with a nice tan glow after cleansing the following morning. For the second go round a week later I used tanning drops that you add to your favorite moisturizer. When applying it to my face, I used what was leftover on my tanning mit as opposed to adding another pump of tanning mousse to the mit before applying. This time I used a different self tanner on my face because I felt that the L’Oreal Sublime Bronze Hydrating Self Tanning Water Mousse left my face looking a little too dark after that second application. They recommend up to 3 times within 24-48 hours for the longest lasting tan.Īfter one week I could tell the color was starting to fade so I applied another layer. I applied my self tanner twice in 24 hours to achieve the color I desired. I used a tanning mit to help protect my hands from turning orange. After my skin was completely dry post shower I applied the L’Oreal Sublime Bronze Hydrating Self Tanning Water Mousse. I used my body wash which has exfoliating beads and shaved my legs to make sure I had an ultra smooth surface to apply my self tanner. I started by dry brushing my skin before taking a shower. They say it’s important to exfoliate your skin before applying self tanner to achieve the best results. Even Justin commented on how good it smelled. This product has such a great scent to it. I am sensitive to smells and didn’t want to smell like self tanner. I liked that she made a point to say it smelled really good and didn’t have that self tanner smell. What stood out to me about her review was her comments on the smell. She normally uses Loving Tan but did a review on this more affordable option. I had read a review from a beauty blogger I look up to who also has olive skin tone. My first self tanner I tried was, L’Oreal Sublime Bronze Hydrating Self Tanning Water Mousse. So, after waiting a bit for my self tanners to arrive, I now have tested out my first self tanner and wanted to share my review along with what I used to have an even tan that lasted. While I trust the recommendations of my peers, I also know that to find the right product (for me) I may have to try a few of the recommendations before I find my winner. I have olive skin and so what products work for me, might not work for someone else, and vice versa. I know just like with most beauty and skincare products, they aren’t one size (skin tone) fits all. What better time then now, to test out a few options! And I hesitated to try and find a self tanner because I was worried about it not looking right and being forced to be seen out in public. I have been wanting to find a self tanner that I could use at home that wouldn’t streak or make my skin look orange for the longest time. Since our shelter in place took effect, I decided that I was going to use this time to test out new products.
