L'Oreal ParisSublime Bronze Tinted Self Tanning Lotion, Medium Natural Tan 5 fl. Oz

Color is perfect, price is right, easy to use, very smooth and great quality

This is the perfect gift! My mom loves it and it offers a perfect, realistic tan without having to go out in the sun or use a tanning bed. It is very safe, and a lot healthier than other options.

I used this for years & have tried every other brand from $4-$120 and this still is my gold standard. The Medium is a good shape for fair skin if you want a relatively dark believable natural looking Mediterranean vacation tan that takes about 3 hours to develop with one thorough application. It give a brown bronze color without any orange undertones and fades gradually over about 5 days. I reapply every 3rd day & after shaving. The Deep is what I use in summer (I have light Irish skin in Texas so I burn in the sun but this gives me a dark tan that looks like a 20year-old’s surfer tan without the UV price later on. I apply a lighter lotion to my hands first (Jergens daily light tan lotion just to go over elbows/wrists ankles as well and to make washing hands easier after application). Then apply top to bottom neck, arms mid then legs just after shower/towel dry while skin is smooth and not patched. Make sure you rub in well, applying enough to cover but not overdone, so no streaks. I use the spray version of this on my back & hard to reach spots. Wash hands well Let dry about 5 mins and make sure you covered evenly or blended well so it’s not striped or obvious. The color can get dark with layering so make sure you blend well at wrists, neck ankles feet etc. The Med and Deep do give quite a significant color, so if you want very light, I use the Jergens Daily and this only where I want the darker color. it’s a great value, tube lasts me 2-3 months & you don’t have to use a lot each application, can layer and as long as you was hands well & blend it won’t look fake.

I like the color it gives you off the bat and when it fades into your skin, the only thing I don’t like is that you get a little bit of glitter. But overall, it’s a very good self tanner. It seems to last a few days before needing new application.

Works great. You’re in charge as to how tan you want to be and you can do this with this product. Just try it you’ll love it. Read the instructions and it works!!! I recommend this product.

I use it for modeling for Vive Health products. It never streaks as long as I first apply lotion all over.

Is it just me, or are the Dark and Medium formulas actually the same, except the dark features a LOT more streaking?I LOVE this product. I crank through a tube a week. It’s long lasting and the color doesn’t make your skin look like it belongs to the 45th POTUS. ;) HOWEVER, the difference in results from the Med vs Dark formulation is striking (striping? Why am I a bronze zebra?)Yes, there’s also a little shimmer that Mariah Carey would enthusiastically approve, but it’s not so much that you look like you’re headed to a rave. It’s enough to make your skin look hydrated, and that 24K shimmer dissipates over time like so many Diva singing careers. (Not Mariah. She’s timeless, right?)The medium formula layers pretty nicely, if you need a touch-up. Like all bronzers with self-tan ingredients, apply evenly over freshly cleaned and exfoliated skin taking care to first lightly moisturize knees/elbows/feet/hands. (Lotioned-up hands will keep your palms from sucking up the bronzer before you wash it off. I mean, maybe spring for an application mitt. But they’re awkward and fall off, devour your expensive bronzer and fall apart after a month. Maybe find a good friend who isn’t judgey instead.)Since this tanner is also an instant bronzer - yay! Instant gratification! - you’ll be able to see where you’ve applied and where you might get streaky. (You’re probably naked and streaking as you do this anyway. It’s fine. The running naked in your house for about a minute is justifiable as bronzer needs a hot minute to dry before you get dressed. Carry on.)This doesn’t heavily transfer onto clothes the way most bronzer/self tanners will. If you sweat or swim, the bronzer will definitely melt away a bit and could get on clothing where it presses against the bronzer. It washes out easily in my experience. Don’t wear a white bikini in a hot tub tho’. (Do I need to even say that? That’s Adulting.) When you bathe after using this bronzer, you’ll notice a kind of slick film that washes off. (Is that what’s keeping it on my legs and off my clothes? It’s a mystery.)If you are an octopus or have otherwise contortionist-worthy arms, the slightly darker “dark” formula may apply more easily and with fewer streaks. If you have normal stick arms and a friend, the Medium formulation is a solid choice. It layers. It’s still bronze, gorgeous and will help with the illusion of perfectly even and glowy skin. It’s not as fun as a trip to Hawaii, but it’s also cheaper and doesn’t cause UV damage.Recommend.

This self tanner held up to its reputation. It does not streak at all if you apply it properly. I've found that if you wash your hands between each area it helps with stickiness and not streaking. For your face, hands and feet, if you take some lotion and add the tanner to that it applies smoother and doesn't leave orange areas. It also doesn't clog pores on your face. I prefer this over my expensive Norvell tanning mousse. It doesn't smell and dries super fast; it doesn't stay tacky like most tanning lotions do. 10/10 will continue buying this!
