I really like this product. I've used it in the past and i was always happy with it. I stopped using it when i found it to be too expensive. I have quite pale skin and freckles so ive always had bad luck with with self tanners like this and they usually look too orange-so i've always stuck with the tanning moisturisers (which work brill too "dove"). I used this the first time without gloves and although the package says its ok -it's not! lol. I did have to scrub really hard a few times to take the colour off the palms of my hands.
I took a shower and exfoliated my skin top to toe. I then dried off (completely)and waited a few mins. I then moisturised my ankles,knees and elbows (i didnt do my face but if you do make sure you moisturise the hairline and put vasaline over your eyebrows so it doesnt stain them).
Then i put on some walmart bought latex gloves (you can prob buy them anywhere quite cheap and they're disposable)and pumped a few squirts of the product on my palms. It's always best to start from the feet upwards section by section ...ex: calves, thighs,buttocks,stomach...etc.
The great thing about this one is that it doesnt go on clear...it has a tint to it already so you can see where you've missed or where there is more or less andyou can add , ALSO you have a tan showing straight away even though the actual look develops over a 4hr period.
It dries within a minute so try not to get dressed straight away. It also says try not to sweat or get wet for about 4 hrs so its probably best to put it on before bed- a tip i use is i put a bit of talcum powder in creases that could just get naturally worn (inside of elbows and behind knees)but wait for the product to fully dry first. After 24hrs take a shower and you will have a great natural looking tan.
It does last thats the great thing but the smell is just stillthe smell of fake tan...so i smell like a cookie after ive applied it..but you can daily apply your usual moisturiser so the smell does go.
Hope this helps! :)

4.0 out of 5 stars Great product, just a bit on the expensive side, June 16, 2007

What I have read about this mousse is true - it does give a natural brownish tan, with no hint of orange. Application was easy due to the tinted mousse, as you could see any spots that you might have missed. Color developed within three hours, and the yucky DHA smell wasn't as bad as other products I have used. My only caution with this mousse is to use some latex gloves to apply it - it WILL turn your cuticles a strange brown color, even if you scrub well afterwards and use a tan remover. So do yourself a favor and use an applicator or gloves to put this on.

This Whipped Bronze Mousse is the best self tanner I have found! And I have tried a lot! Like the other reviews it is not orange at all! Looks so natural! The mousse is very easy to apply and you can see exactly where you are applying it! No streaks at all! I used a different brand mousse but never again! I'm hooked and so sad I was looking orange for so long! I recommend using latex gloves as well, its the only way to keep your palms clean. Ill be in St. Tropez every day from now on!
