I work full time and do not have time to get enough summer sun for a tan...I am going on vacation in a few weeks and decided to try some tanning lotion on my legs so that I would not look so pale. I noticed a difference after only 2 applications, very nice natural looking. I did not notice any bad smell (as I have been reading from previous consumers). Yes, make sure you do your feet! and also, be careful around your knees, the lotion seems to darken there more (I've been working around my knees)...and yes, make sure you wash (scrub) your hands when you are finished. I am very pleased with this product, and in comparison to other brands on the shelf, this was priced nicely. You can buy a small tube for $2-$3 before purchasing the larger one for $7-$8. I recommend this product.
