Very nice, but a few things you need to know, June 25, 2009
After I got a salon spray tan and didn't want to pay that much again, I did a lot of research before buying two different spray tans to try, the Lancome and the Loreal Sublime. The Lancome is definitely better (the Loreal was very orange). This goes on nicely and turns a nice bronze color, not orange on my very pale skin. I get about two full body treatments from one can, so it costs considerably less than a salon spray tan.
However, there are a few things you should know:
1. The tanning agent is very oily and does not dry . . . at all. After letting it sit for 20-30 minutes while I do my hair and makeup, the coloring agent has time to sink in, and I pat the oil off gently with a few tissues. The patting does not make the color streak if you wait long enough for the coloring agent to sink in. Then I moisturize all over. If you want a spray-n-go tanner, you probably won't like this one at all. I had read one review of this product on another site that talked about it not drying, and I thought maybe the reviewer sprayed too much on or held the can too close. No, it really doesn't dry, but the tissue patting works for me.
2. As you spray the rest of your body, residual spray will fall on your feet. Let the color develop some before deciding whether you need to spray your feet. The first time I did it, I ended up with way too much color on my feet. It looked really bad. The second time, I sprayed everywhere except my feet, and they got just enough color.

Lancome Flash Bronzer, July 5, 2007
I've tried a few of the 'build-a-tan' products available, and the Lancome Flash Bronzer works the fastest and gives the best results. It is a little pricey, but it works well. It still costs less than doing the unhealthy tanning at a salon! Try it...you'll like it!

Natural-looking & NO STREAKS!!!, February 6, 2009
I am very wary of tanning lotions but i read multiple reviews on this product & decided to "give it a shot." IT IS FANTASTIC! I found it to be very light. All i did was mist the areas lightly then rubbed it in. I wanted my face to be even with my body so i, like a dummy, sprayed some on my hand then rubbed it on my face & neck. The tan came out great, but my left palm was a little yellow. My right palm looked all natural though! I'll know better next time. It dried pretty quickly, too.
You would probably want to do this at night or a couple hours before you go somewhere; also right after a shower is recommended. I now have a pretty glow in the dead of winter- yay! I recommend this product-definitely!
