The Light/Medium is perfect.I started applying it early April this year. Since then, I've been asked by many friends, acquaintances that I see regularly, etc. what I am wearing because it looks so natural. I do think that skin preparation and taking care of your skin after application makes a huge difference in the finished product and extending the life of the tan, like any other tanning product.I absolutely recommend this one because it doesn't dry too fast, but it doesn't stay wet and sticky for a more than a few minutes, which I love. I haven't had problems with transfer that stains, plus Bondi Sands makes a gradual lotion that helps extend the tan.My only caveat is that my legs tend to hold the tan better than my upper body, no matter how much I moisturize my upper body, so I end up doing my upper body two nights in a row, usually, or redoing it more often. However, that likely varies person to person.

I've tried so many self tanners and this one is my absolute favorite! To get the best results, use when you have a day chillin at home. I recommend applying with a mitt and then putting on something loose (like a long tank), to let it process 6-8 hrs before showering off. Be careful not to sit on anything light colored. It goes on a deep olive tone but that initial color rinses off. It's the most natural tan and the ultra dark is amazing. The only downside is the waiting time to rinse off. Definitely do not sleep with it on before rinsing, it will stain your sheets. Will never use anything else!

I bought this after using the so sue me ultra dark which is now discontinued due to the formula changes. I read the reviews which seemed pretty positive so I bought it. Back of the bottle says exfoliate, do not moisturise and apply with a mit. I usually moisturise before my tan but did what the bottle said. Was like dry muck going on my skin. Could not get it to rub in evenly and was not dark enough for my personal taste. After washing it was basically all gone off my skin and so patchy and streaky. Next time, did the same but did two pumps into the mit for a darker tan. before washing, looked like muck and dirt on my skin. After washing it was basically all gone again except for a few rotten patches that looked like dirt. Next time I moisturised before applying ... MoreI bought this after using the so sue me ultra dark which is now discontinued due to the formula changes.

After washing it was basically all gone again except for a few rotten patches that looked like dirt. Next time I moisturised before applying which is my normal go to as I have dry skin. Assumed it was going on so patchy and dirty due to my dry skin. It spread much better thanks to the moisturiser but again it looks like actual muck from the garden. It’s honestly one of the most horrible tans I’ve ever tried. Doesn’t layer on your skin nicely so you can’t make it look darker. Doesn’t wash evenly. Does fade evenly. Streak free is what I seen on these reviews and don’t understand how anyone is getting that type of application. I’m so disappointed as I need a replacement for so sue me ultra dark tan.
