I love Josie's tanning oil. It works really well on my fair skin and doesn't leave streaks behind.

 

The illuminizing body butter that comes in that set is tinted to be a tan color. Because I'm very fair, it's too dark for me without a tan and I don't get a lot of use out of it. It's also shimmery, which is too much for me and my lifestyle. If I went places where I wore sleeveless dresses to evening parties or nights out, I think it would be great. But I don't do that and I'm not going to put this on to go to work. If your daughters love to dress up and go out, it might be a big hit. If they prefer to stay home, it might not be for them.

The tan extender is a colorless tanner that helps deepen or extend the tanning oil. Some consumers were confused and thought it was a regular body butter in a pump, so they had some bad experiences when it gave them a surprise and uneven tan. Because there's no guide color, it's easy to apply and get a splotchy effect, especially if used on skin that you haven't tanned with the oil. If you use it to extend the tan from the oil, it works better, but make sure they are warned about what the product is so they don't slather it on like normal body butter and not wash their hands, which will stain them in an undersireable way.

Hope that helps.
