"I've given this a try, I purchased it wanting a nice tan instead of wasting time tanning risking getting cancer or going to a salon, and this was a disaster. My husband helped me apply it after getting out of the shower. First off, the gel does dry quickly like it states, he also wore the gloves it comes with, but it dries quicker than you can rub it into your skin leaving horrid streaks everywhere and looking like you literally just got finished drying off naked after mud wrestling. It was quite hilarious to look at, but not what you'd expect from a self tanning gel. Another thing was that even after an hour of it being on, my skin still felt sticky and very uncomfortable, not something I could sleep in all night (recommended on the box) so being very anxious when the 4-6 hours was up I rinsed it off in the shower as instructed. The tan did not really stay into my skin, yet some of the streaks did..so this is definitely going back. Luckily as a VIP I can get free returns, sadly this will be my 1st return. I do not recommend this unless you are patient to try and get the knack of using this down but good luck if you do!"
