Australian Gold Instant Sunless Tanning Spray, 6 Ounce| Rich Bronze Color with Fade Defy Technology | Energizes & Softens Skin | New Packaging Same Great Formula

So, let me start by saying I never even write reviews that much.. Good or bad .. I think the last time I did was 2 years ago and it was a 5 star max review, cuz if I'm actually gonna spend the time to do it , at least I'd do it only for a positive ratting, and most likely for a product that really impressed me .. Now, about this tanning spray.. I should mention the fact that I really went out of my way to write this review.. I added this to my to do list, and I've been trying to get to it for about 3-4 days that's how bad I wanted to do it.. A lot of things I buy in general turn out to be less than I expected , and no matter how pissed I might be, I usually get over it pretty fast, why bother wasting my time to write in here.. most of the time it's not even worth your time .. Anyways , so .. the things that bothered me most about this tanning spray are :- it's not at all a fine mist sprayer as you might expect .. which normally you should be able to spray nice and evenly from approx 8in , while you make circular moves, or even up and down and even come back a few times..-and becuz it doesn't spray a fine mist, you have to be careful cuz not only it sprays a lot (which means you don't need to apply 2 or 3 layers).. You also shouldn't spray from only 8in from your skin , it will create a mess.. I personally thought if I spray myself from a much further distance , like 2 feet from the skin, I thought then it should behave like a mist, or at least you'd have more control on how much solution you get on your skin at once, and if you need more you can always apply more.. That's not an issue here .. The issue here is the opposite .. You'll most likely get way too much spray on you from the first press on the sprayer.. So much that you will have no other choice but to put the spray down really quick , and literally use your hands to spread it out becuz it's already dripping and also it's streaky as hell.. -even when it doesn't spit all those big drops and splashes all over you, still this sprayer delivers a huge quantity of liquid and also a pretty strong pressure , which makes it reach pretty far.. - basically it will also get on everything else within 3-4 feet from you.. Not only on the floor cuz that's expected.. it gets in almost every corner and even on vertical surfaces .. -this forces you to consider not doing it in the bathroom anymore .. but if bathroom is not an option then no other room will be advised .. in that case what's left to do .. you may think outside its your best option, it doesn't matter what gets stained, right ? Well , but imagine there's a little breeze.. doesn't even have to be a strong wind, just a draft is more than enough to ruin all your work of art.. It's already so difficult to use this and to get the results you wish, as it is ..- the most ridiculous issue about this product is that it's not recommended to apply on your face .. So what are we supposed to do.. get super dark on the whole body , but keep the face white as a sheet (in my case).. or start looking for other products out there safe for face and other sensitive areas, or maybe some makeups will do the trick ? Maybe , but I highly doubt you can easily find the same or similar tone of color .. Of course I was already too far involved in this, there was no going back .. So I didn't care much anymore , I wasn't gonna stay unfinished like that .. so I sprayed into my palms, rub it against each other and then lightly apply on my face too , while trying to spread it as evenly as I could.. The only thing that was supposed to be a problem (applying on the face) it was actually the easiest and fastest and with a nice result.. But wait , there's more .. If you're still with me up to this point, then bare with me cuz I kept the worst two things for the end ..- so , let's say you are ambitious like me and you don't quit. Let's say you went through all that hassle , spent some extra time , put some extra effort, did whatever it took.. and it even took a little practice till you learned to do it right, and now you finally finished the task..-first , you'll notice that this stuff is extremely sticky.. even after it's completely dried.. I'm talking a few hours , not minutes.. still sticky .. the feeling is like ...ugh , very hard to tolerate .. especially on the inside of your elbow when you bend your arm ..-and second , you'll also notice that this stuff is extremely short live and very sensitive to any liquids , but especially water. Even when its completely dry, if you happen to be caught in the rain , or even if you just needed to wash your hands or wash a fruit or even from sweating on a hot day , and you're not anywhere close to home .. imagine when it starts dripping down on you while its literally melting and you can see your natural skin color being uncovered.. It's embarrassing , it's frustrating , it's a waste of money, time, effort and for what? just a day of enjoying a nice tan , which in just few hours becomes pretty clear to anyone that is not natural? This was actually not my first.. The first one was actually amazing .. from Neutrogena , it was even cheaper .. under $10 , and the mist sprayer I guess I didn't appreciate at that time , and not until I bought this piece of s***. Yes I had to go back and apply 2 or 3 more coats with a couple of hours in between.. But the result was really quality. Not to mention it was water proof , it would last up to a week even after showering daily.. I'm not trying to advertise this other one, but I just want to point out the differences between the two. Thank you for your time , I just only realized how big was my review.. But if they don't reject it for being too long , I hope some people will find it helpful.

UPDATE: I've bitten the bullet and tried this stuff a few more times. It's still a mess (must apply in the bathtub), but the color the next day really looks great. So I'm improving my rating to 4 stars. The messiness is worth it for a natural-looking tan. As with all self-tanners, you have to be careful around hands and feet. I even ordered another bottle!!I don’t even know where to begin. It’s not a fine mist, you will end up with small circles of brown color all over unless you blend immediately. To apply, take this product to your bathtub or shower because it’s a brown spray that will end up on everything in its path. A MESS. If you blend the spray in well when applying, the color ends up looking okay by the day following application. You will look pretty tan. But is it worth it, the sticky mess you had on your skin for hours? I guess it is. I need to be tan. I personally prefer L’Oréal Sublime Bronze tanning spray, but it has been out of stock for a long time now.

I didn’t know what to expect of the mixed reviews but this product IF used carefully is amazing, if you overdo it then it will be streaky so you have to be careful and only give one long clean spray across, it gave a much darker tan than I thought It would which was nice but instructions on the bottle are not as clear as they should be and it is pretty inconvenient waiting for it to dry (drying took me around half an hour and I couldn’t sit down because that messed with the tan) but overall a solid and helpful product

I'm getting into self tanners because I can't be in the sun. Per another reviewer's instructions, I bought a tanning mit and sprayed the product directly onto that. Then I rubbed it onto my pre-exfoliated skin in circular motions. It has a tint so I can see where it's being applied. I started with just my legs. Now, here is where I think some purchaser's are getting confused - the application of this product has to be showered off (after 2 hours or more) which reveals a developed stain. If you are planning to apply this right before getting dressed for an event, it's definitely going to feel and look funny, not to mention get on everything. If you have sprayed it on, used a mit and are standing there wondering why it looks uneven, that's fine. Just wait at least 2 hours and take a shower. Blend in any obviously missed spots. USE a WELL LIT ROOM. I left my legs sit for 24 hours and used my shower poof the next day being extra thorough. The first coat left behind a beautiful light golden/tan which was much nicer looking than my pale skin. I can see why some would think this is orange. BUT in my case I tan a warm golden, have freckles (and from the natural tan I had as a kid) so I am completely thrilled with the glow I have. I like that I can adjust the intensity with each application. The trick I used was using an old makeup beauty blender and soaking it in water, then spraying the tanner on to it directly. I dabbed it into the tops of my hands and my collarbone so it's a little diluted. It wasn't messy at all (again I'm spraying directly onto the mit) but it did transfer onto my sheets before I showered the application off.

l’ho acquistato un po’ titubante perché avevo letto recensioni contrastanti, compreso un video tutorial di un’impedita che faceva un casino assurdo.. invece ho trovato il mio autoabbronzante, messo la sera, si asciuga dopo pochi minuti e non lascia tracce sui vestiti e al mattino abbronzatura durata!piccolo accorgimento: non dovete assolutamente spruzzarvelo addosso ma sull’apposito guantino (self tan mitt che ho acquistato sempre su amazon) e poi strofinare il guantino sul corpo, stessa cosa per il viso. Così avrete un’applicazione perfetta, senza sporcare in giro

Te pinta como un simpson, para carnaval puede estar bien pero no para simular un bronceado.

Il prodotto scurisce bene però è un po’ appiccicoso ed inoltre due spray su 4 che ho ordinato hanno il beccuccio che non funziona quindi non si possono usare xché non spruzzano! Purtroppo me ne sono accorta solo ora xché non li ho usati tutti quando li ho comprati!

È un prodotto non chiaro nell’utilizzo e , nonostante lo si faccia asciugare anche un paio di ore , macchia moltissimo .. lenzuola da cambiare , abiti idem .. e se vai in piscina perdi il colore 😱

Non mi sono trovata molto bene. Lo spray non spruzza il prodotto in maniera omogenea e quindi dovevo spalmarlo con le mane e mi faceva macchie. Il colorito era anche bello ma troppo poco pratico e costoso.
