Hi ladies! I've been using this for a little over a week now, and I have to say, I'm very happy with it. I'm using the medium dark shade. I put it on my legs as I would a daily moisturizer, and within two days, I'm as dark as I want to be. Not bronzed, but good color, that makes me unafraid of wearing capris or skirts. My legs have gotten very fair since I stopped tanning a few years ago. I also have issues with spider veins and some scarring on my legs, that make me very self-conscious. I used to tan to camouflage some of that, but as we all know, tanning is the worst, so I finally gave it up. I've been using this on my legs only, because my arms seem to tan naturally when the weather warms up.

I cannot detect any self-tanner scent at all. The lotion is scented, but it is very pleasant. I exfoliate, then rub a bit of regular moisturizing lotion on my knees and my feet and ankles, then put on the tanner. No streaks, not even around my knees, feet or ankles, which is usually a problem for me no matter what I do to prep them. I prefer a gradual tanner that I can use in the morning after I shower instead of something that is to be used at night, mostly because I shower in the morning. This is pricey at $30.00, but I use about a quarter-size for each leg, so it seems like the tube will last awhile. It's a 6.7 fluid oz. tube, by the way.

I don't exfoliate every day--in fact, I did it once, and kept putting this on in the morning for four straight days, and had no streaking at all. I'm actually pretty amazed at that. It dries quickly, and I can get dressed shortly after I put it on. I usually put on a robe after I apply it, then put my make-up on as per my morning routine, and by that time, it's plenty dry--even before that, actually--I'm just telling you what I do.

If you're looking for something to try, I highly recommend this. No orange color AT ALL, only tan. Very easy to work into your routine, and user-friendly. Good luck!
