Pro's:
- comes in a squeeze tube that is not to big to travel with
- nice thick brown cream makes it very easy to see where you have applied it so that you are not left with brown marks on your ankles, knees and elbows. The bronzer helped enormously with the application as you could see clearly where the product was and you didn’t have to wait for it to develop to look tan.
- can be used daily on its own or i sometimes mix it with body lotion (winter months) to maintain a slight tanned colour but not like i would have in summer
- contains a SPF 15, in winter i love using it on my face as well as it just keeps my skin looking healthy through the drier (paler) colder months
- when you apply the lotion, it smoothes into your skin nicely and does not cake or blotch, it was a good even colour and i had no steaking
- it dries within 5 min - i would apply it and then carry on with make up, by the time my make up is done im ready to get dressed
- best of all is the instant golden colour, should you need a quick bronze fix for a night out on a certain area, this is the best way to look flawless
- tan lasts if well maintained (i use Caribbean Tan Extender Body Butter) and skin stay moisturized. it fades gracefully and did not leave me blotchy
Cons:
- the cream smells a bit like chocolate / caramel and i have found that sometimes (maybe once or twice) i could smell the funky self tan smell during the day but it was on days where i have been very busy and perspiring more, on all other days i experienced no smell
- i have found that when i used it for 4 days every day, i would look a bit orang'y in sunlight. so i would use it for two days and skip a few or simply mix it with my moisturizer.
