Clarins Intense Bronze Self Tanning Tint

Customer Rating:
Summary: It Works but lasts only 36 hours
Comment: This product DEFINITELY works. Just take a cotton pad (a flat one not a cotton ball), soak it up, and apply using long strokes. There is a smell, but it's not bad. You can sleep with it on if you apply it at night, which is what I recommend. If you apply it in the morning, you might look conspicuously orange/tan. If you put it on overnite, some color fades and it looks more natural. It never rubbed off on my pillow, so staining wasn't an issue. For me, the product only lasted between 24-36 hours and then it pretty much disappeared. The important thing is that it does work and doesn't smell bad.

Summary: beautiful, golden shimmery tan
Comment: I have REALLY pale skin and for once I didnt turn orange in fact many people that know me said wow nice "tan". The only reason that I didnt give it 5 stars is because it is very runny (think water) and I am so used to lotion and spray stuff that it made this product a slight challenge for me, but some might like that aspect. I love that it gives you instant color but due to this you will want to use a glove. Overall; I really like this product. I think most will love the results as they are very pretty, natural, and you will see that your skin actually shimmers.

Summary: Clarins Does not deliver
Comment: In Self magazine they reviewed several self-tanners, and said that Clarins was the best. However, being olive skinned it was yellowish in color, and after paying 30+ on this item, I am very disappointed. I guess higher prices doesn't mean it's going to "pay off"!

It is pricey compared to the other brand name self tanning lotion
but it is WORTH it!!
I'd definitely buy again & again!!

Summary: Best Self Tanner for Face, Neck, and Decollete
Comment: Long time user of self-tanners (19+ years) and have experimented with lots of self-tanners formulated for the face. I have come across a few that I liked but because they clogged my pores, settled into blemishes on my faces or simply did not have staying power on my face I continued to experiment.

Which brought me to Clarins Intense Bronze Self Tanning. And my search ends here with this product. Pros: The scent of this product is so light you don't even really smell it, the color is gorgeous once applied and becomes deeper over a period a few short hours. Because the formula is very watery (don't even let this fool you about how the color will look) it dries on your skin in about 4-5 minutes. No stickiness.

Once the color dries it leaves my skin looking evenly tanned, like I had been laying on the beach in the Cayman Islands and my skin is dark golden. The best part is that when you apply additional layers of this sunless tanner your skin not only gets a deeper brown but it 'glows'.

The only CON I would like to mention is that you really really must take care to keep your hands/fingers washed after applying this. To altogether avoid this step I simply wear disposable vinyl gloves (I buy mine from Home Depot in the paint section. A box of 100 for $7.) In addition I apply the Self Tanner to a Cotton Square ( Cotton Balls are too fibery for me) and apply an even coat over my face, neck and decollete.

And I agree with the other reviewer about the price. It's a little high but you don't really need much on your skin and it would probably last you about a good year and a half before you had to buy more.
